how many sugar gliders?

exist in the world today?

Oh no, not another “which name” but I can’t decide on my puggles name!?

Bringing a new puggle home today! Her name is Fancy, but she’s still a puppy who doesn’t respond to her name.

Looking for a unique name, my other pets have been named: Baron, Buddha, Hyphy and Roo. They were Sugar Gliders.

Anyway, I was thinking Delilah. Kind of girly but bold sounding at the same time. At the same time it’s a little long, but I could call her Lilah as a nickname. Also, I’m interested in abstract names, characteristic names, philosphical names and unpopular human names.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

P.S. I was also thinking of phossy. Was joking around with nutrition names (I’m a nut major), and I said phosphorus then my friend and I both said PHOSSY! I think it’s cute, but telling ppl why you named a dog after an elctrotyle… So anything where her nickname could be Phossy would be awesome!

I have a parasite on my mealworms! What is it?

I have a mealworm farm and raise mealworms to feed to my sugar gliders. I just got some new mealies in fromg Grubco last week and while checking on them today I noticed that one had a large “bubble” on it’s back. I broke open the bubble and there is what seems to be a tiny leech inside! :o

I can’t figure out what the heck it is(I checked everwhere online) and was hoping that someone here might be able to help me out.

Here are pics:

Please help. :(
It’s not turning into a beetle. These are my first mealies, I know what they look like when they change.

This is some type of parasite that has attached itself to one of my mealworms. I need to know what it is so I can make sure that it’s not something that could harm my sugar gliders if they accidentaly ate an infected mealie.
Thank you for your help Wicked. I have contacted the company, but stil no reponse. :(

Does anyone own a sugar glider?

I just got two today! And I’m SO excited. Tell me some of your sugar glider stories and what I should do to keep them happy and safe! :)

(It’s a male and female… I’m thinking of breeding!)

Unbonded Sugar Glider, anyone know the best way to deal?

I have just today gotten an unbonded female sugar glider. She is not bonded to people or even other gliders. Should I leave her in the bonding pouch as often as possible to bond to me first, or bond her to my male first? She is already kind of taking to him, I got her to breed with him, any and all help is appreciated, experianced suggie owners only please…
