Here in Bangkok the average life of Sugar Gliders is around 4-6 years. I was given a glider about nine months old because the person didn't want to care for it any longer. I raised it alone without other gliders. I spent around 14 hours a day with this animal. My glider "Queen Snook" had no cage she lived in my room. I'm nocturnal as well, I sleep all day. She died at age nine which in this part of the world is considered old. She ate wax worms, crickets, gecko's, moths, watermelon, corn, apple. The amount of time and effort was massive. She would try and kill other gliders its why I never got another one for her. She bonded to me very strongly. She slowly became old and died in her sleep. I would never recommend a sugar to anyone as a pet unless you're prepared to look after it probably. Here in Thailand many gliders are not cared for correctly its very sad.

I’m not that knowledgeable about sugar gliders, but in short they get extremely depressed when they’re alone.

There is an exception to the one glider rule: a glider who is incompatible with other gliders. This is usually a glider who has been injured in a way that will not fully heal (such as losing an eye), and pushed out of the colony. The colony no longer accepts this glider and will attack. This glider will become an only glider and will need lots of extra attention and companionship from their owner. Out of a massive population, there are a few antisocial gliders who simply don't seem to get along with any potential cagemates. These are very rare and often the result of their bonded companion dying; they will not accept new companions. Fortunately, this almost never happens, but compatibility issues do occur. No matter how well you do the introduction, once a colony has more than two members, they can afford to reject another glider they think will disrupt their hierarchy. While males are reputed as aggressive, don't think that females are not. Female sugar gliders don't usually live as happy equals under a shared male, one of them must be Queen. Usually the best chance for them to get along and accept the hierarchy is introduction at early age or being related and together from the start.

What should you do if you only have 2 sugar gliders but one of them dies? Should you try to rehome them with a friend that has sugar gliders until you can get another one, or should you just keep them solitary until you get another. Would there be issues rehoming them temporarily with another colony?

[@zaggo3425]

if you can afford and want to get another, do it. Your fur baby will thank you. If you don't plan on keeping purchasing gliders, the best thing to do is to rehome them with someone who has one or more gliders, as they will fit right in since they are social animals. You should NEVER keep them solitary. Ever. They are very social animals and leaving them alone will lead to depression, anxiety, boredom, self-multilation, and ultimately suicide. You have to keep in mind their natural habitat is not a home, so to make them comfortable they need a friend and lots of things to do to keep them enriched.

My boyfriends family adopted a solo sugar glider blindly and it was the best mistake when my bf and I decided to take care of him fully. We took him in and realized he was really deprived of a cage mate. He was lethargic and depressed. We got a friend for him and he’s so much happier. This sugar glider was alone for ten years and I don’t think he became a sugar glider until we got him his cage mate. The only thing is he is super protective over his food and doesn’t like to share. But he sleeps and cuddles with the other boy. It’s cute when they rub up on each other. Considering he’s going to be 11 soon, he’s the healthiest he’s ever been. He’s loves us and waits at the door of the cage to come jump around on us. They need cagemates!

[@sammylacks4937]

Thank you for providing this information. Ive kept Sugar Gliders 20 years and everything you said is spot on. One circumstance that I feel should be discussed is owning a pair that for whatever reason lose a cage mate. Obviously getting another to replace it is what needs to be done, can you advise how to pick one or a pair for prospective adoptees then how to inteoduce them. The Gliders I started with as well as the few I have gotten over time were bought at a pet store where you request the number and sex and you are given a bonding pouch with your request. Since keeping them and breeding some Ive noticed some Glider parents produce much easier to handle Joeys than others. If possible finding a breeder that allows buyers to interact with the Joeys as well as parents of them. That said I believe all Gliders can be bonded with. Bless those willing to adopt adult and older Sugar Gliders. Time , patience and a dont give up attitude will get you and Glider bonded. Allowing them to live their lives totally in a cage with no interaction isnt fair to them.or you. Never lose temper or mistreat any Glider. They are wild captive bred animals and will always retain instinctive traits or habits. They can and do have a painful bite. Suger Gliders bite primarily for two reasons. Fear and selfdefense then if you have more than one cage with mates or families in each they are territorial. If you handle any from one cage do not open or attempt to handle those in a different cage without washing hands and arms well. Mistakenly placing a Glider in wrong cage can result in a violent conferentation and should be avoided. Gliders are , I agree very good pets for the right people. Please take time and do homework before purchasing. I welcome questions and replys. Thanks .

[@kivoleve2278]

Thank you for providing the best information and not sugar coating it. Especially when it comes to pets that MUST have a companion. People give so many excuses and that's just it. It's about the pet not the owner. Animals that live in groups MUST be in groups. There is no excuse, your pet is not special and needs to be alone, you need to change the environment or figure out what you are doing wrong. If you can't afford to properly and fully set up an animal then it's not the time for you to own that animal. No excuses. And there are so many animals that belong with a same species companion. It's sad to see it when they are alone because it is animal abuse and it is selfish. Haters going to hate. You're wonderful and real about the quality of life with your pets!

[@laurienelson461]

I'm not understanding why everyone's talking about it being abusive to just have one glider and if that's the case then it shouldn't be legal to sell only one to a customer, yet they do it everyday. Mine was a gift and is now 4 years old and with me everyday. Couldn't be happier or healthier. I'm an animal lover to the core with 5 different animals and a pond of koi fish and all of my animals are loved, taken care of, healthy and most of all, HAPPY. My gliders never been sick , never depressed, very active at night running around me. So calling that abuse is just that, your calling it abuse but if it was abuse the breeders and merchants wouldn't be legally allowed to sell just one, here in the USA. And anyone thats known me or comes into my home and sees my animals will know right away without thinking twice about the fact that these animals are very much loved and they're all in tip top shape and healthy. Including my 14 baby koi in a pond in my backyard. So I'm not understanding what your saying about haters or hating, whatever it is that your saying. Dogs have always been known to be or brought up in packs but yet you can have one. If you raise an animal that's only known you well that's all they'll know, they're not gonna be looking for the rest of the pack. They look for you. Fortunately for me, I get to be with my animals 24/7 because I'm retired so they all get my love and attention and they're all thriving STILL, Especialky my sugar glider.

[@Amanda-James]

Laurie Nelson you’re wrong when you say if it was abusive then it would be illegal to buy just a single animal. Do you think it’s abusive to remove a cats claws? I do, and it’s not illegal. Do you think it’s abusive to dock a dogs ears or tail? I certainly do, but it’s not at all illegal. Do you think it’s abusive to inbreed an animal to the point where it can’t breathe properly and has health problems its entire life (like pugs)? Breeders obviously don’t have a problem with it because it makes them money. Please use your head, morality and legality are NOT the same thing.

[@Amanda-James]

Laurie Nelson the need to colonize and gather in groups is in the sugar gliders dna, it has nothing to do with the way they’re raised, they’re not human babies. Their deep and unchangeable instincts tell them to find others of their kind.

[@Steelers4Life47]

We learned a lot the first year having sugar gliders. WOW, we found out we were doing all the wrong stuff with them. We did a lot of research and thanks to our vet we were able to start doing the right stuff. HPW now has a complete mix that your don't have to add all the other stuff. Plus they have pellets as well that we put out if they want to nibble on it. I love my gliders and they are so much fun to raise! I am so glad to have found this video! Thank you.

I agree that they are not everyone’s ideal pet.A lot of people think it’s just a “flying squirrel “and only eat honey and don’t need a lot of space to roam(at least that’s what people think in my school).Even other youtubers are not being responsible about them!Thank you for putting this out there so maybe this will stop people for caring for sugar gliders improperly.

[@zeteri4563]

OMG yes! I had an argument with a classmate who said I shouldn't have them!! So I asked him why, he said because they're nocturnal. Then I proceeded to explain to him many other animals were nocturnal such as guinea pigs, rats and leopard geckos. Then his argument changed to well I know someone who had them and they died. 😡 I asked more questions and I figured out the reason they died was because they were too young!

[@pennygillespie883]

I just got my first sugar gliders at the Nashville Exotic pet expo after about 2 years of research and many opportunities to get a pair. They are definitely good pets but not for everybody. I started thinking of just getting two but ended up getting four. I have a lot of other exotics and they eat the leftover produce and insects. I think they are just like rats do smart and friendly.

It should also be noted that the gliders in the US are from Indonesia. A genetic study in 2019 compared them to gliders from Australia, Indonesia, and New Guinea. Fortunately, Indonesia does have legal export quotas, so many of the original gliders used for captive breeding were legally obtained.

[@briannacarlson221]

Heyyyyy....love the pink hair btw!! OK so, this is NOT one of those 'what if's' questions you were talking about regarding getting 0 or 2 gliders....BUT...Wait please keep reading, I need advice! My father just recently passed away and I am his only daughter trying to keep up with his house and everything he has left behind but most importantly I have adopted his sugar glider Tigger! Now I love Tigger and have been researching and watching videos and trying to gain every knowledgeable piece of info about them since I only knew the basics. With that being said, I would like very much to keep him but I want him to be happy as he already is struggling as to why my father has up and left him! Tigger and we have came along way already in our personal bonding and I was happy to see that I'm pretty much on target with the care and diet etc as I watched your video, except for one thing...I only have Tigger!!! So should I begin looking for a friend for him immediately?! Here is some background info on Tigger to better advise me hopefully. He is an adult male (around 4-5 years old), I am 99% sure he is not neutered. My Father had two sugar gliders to begin with I remember, but shortly after he noticed they had a baby (Tigger), then decided to sell the parents and keep the baby...so Tigger has really been by himself this whole time :(. I am willing to get another one or whatever it takes I just do not want to make a rushed or wrong decision. Do you have any advice on what route I should go? Do I get female as a companion, right cuz males will fight?! Do I keep them apart but next to each other in separate cages at first? Do I possibly not get another one since it's been too long? I'm still educating myself but your video stood out to me esp since this was the only thing/requirement that I hadn't met yet and your seriousness has me rushing for answers! Thanks so much! Love, Tigger's adoptive Mom or Sister or...shit maybe I shouldn't title myself, that's kinda confusing lol! Oh and thanks for such the educational video, helps tremendously!

Everything I said in the video applies to you. This is exactly the type of what if question I was talking about. No one is special, no one is an exception.

[@briannacarlson221]

Happy Tails...obviously you did NOT read ANYTHING that I wrote!!! Or you would see that your response made absolutely NO sense at all! The reason I have the single sugar glider that I have now is because MY DAD DIED!!!!! I could have kept the glider like I did, trying to take care of it to the best of my ability when I did not want nor desire to have one as a pet in the first place!! Or I could have just let it die...I guess, who knows?! Its not like the local pet store sells them or would have taken it if I brought it there! Anyways, so yeah...before just replying with some BULLSHIT senseless response that makes absolutely no sense in regards to what someone writes or asks you, maybe take a second to read it first! I know I wrote a lot but that was because I was and still am legitimately concerned as to how I can give this little animal the life it deserves! Given the fact that I'm sure its already sad and confused as to where my dad is and was forced to get used to me now, I'm trying to help this poor animal the best I can! How my father was raising the glider before he died is close to irrelevant now and I shouldn't be held responsible for him raising it alone without a companion. So all I was asking was, is it too late to get him a companion and if not, then some advice on going about getting anotherone would have been helpful and appreciated! When I watched your video I thought you might have been knowledgeable and helpful because, well...why make an informative video then, right? But I think I'm wrong...You obviously aren't here to help anyone...That is very clear on your ignorant response to my comment!!!!!!! Then after I read your comment, I then watched a few more videos of yours and honestly it seems to me that you just like seeing the negative things people comment about on your videos. It seems to entertain you to then go and respond to them in a very rude and condescending way! Sorry you thought I was saying something I was not! And, well...thanks for nothing. I shall pray for you and your animals!!

3:53 in some instances sugar gliders CAN in fact be bought alone, but that depends on their personality, how much time you spend with them, and the situation.. however it’s recommended to have two. I had two sugar gliders, one passed away, and I was going to get another, but the one still alive was doing very well being alone since I was giving him so much time and attention. I made sure to do tons and tons of research, ask multiple professionals and Vets, and having had plenty of experience owning them, I found that my glider was perfectly okay without having another one in the cage with him. But I would do tons of research and have experience with them, before just only getting one to start out with.

I suggest owning rats before sugar gliders. the cage setup is very similar especially if you are getting a double critter nation, and the rounds of switching up the setup is very similar. obviously sugargliders can bond while rats are much more chill, it will also teach you how the personalities can differ dramatically.

Thank you so much for all your information. I have done about 4 months of research and I work from home refurbishing things and then selling them, so I have gotten their cage ready to go, I did find a great breeder who is reputable and I have already purchased my babies just waiting now for them to be old enough to take home. The breeder did state it was always best to get 2 or more she did say one if you can invest all your time with them. But through my research it stated to at least get 2 which I did. They are both girls which I already found a vet for them and researched the food needed as well as what to place in their cage. Which I suffer from insomnia and up at night so I will plan to have them out with me as much as possible. I do have kids but they are older my daughter being 10 and my step son 16. But like your dad this is more for me then the kids which they will be apart of but for the most part the care will be on me. Anyone deciding to get these guys please do as much research as you can to make sure this is the pet that you want and that you can provide a good home for them. They are a lot of money for 2 I have spent 650 dollars on the girls, this is not including their cage which I saved a bit because I know how to build my own but even still that was about 350 bucks in making a proper cage for them with plenty of room and things to climb. So if you plan this just know it will be a thousand bucks to start. To purchase the animals plus get their cage. But just like other animals they will need to go to the vet for check ups and tests so that will also cost money. So please these are wonderful animals and I have been wanting a pair for quite some time but had to wait till my finances where right.

Please please please do your research before having them. They're a long term commitment because they can live 10 to 15 years. Their needs, care and especially their diet can be very complicated. They are also prone to some health issues, make sure you have a vet who has experience with sugar gliders. You need at least a pair because they are social animals. Yes, you can give them your time and attention but nothing beats the communication and companionship of your own kind. If you're a new sugar glider owner, you can have one first to bond and to learn more on how to take care of them and maybe get the second later. Having two at the same time could be difficult to some new owner.

Some of you are wrong! It is abuse if you have just one Sugar Glider instead of two. One can get extremely lonely if you don't house two (ask a veterinarian). And about housing two male mice together sometimes can be true and not true, it all depends on how they react and sometimes they may not have the same reaction. And Pickles Pets can be wrong, not every animal has the same reaction as other animals it's been proven. She spent a lot time on a video talking about her options and opinions. If you think about it ask a veterinarian not someone or something's opinion where they know little about the problem. I enjoy watching everyone else's videos but, come on! Not everyone is going to be doing the same as others with their pets. You just cannot call it out "animal abuse" when some of you don't know the REAL case. Everyone is intitled to a opinion but, when it comes to stuff like this you ask a professional/vet etc. where they work on stuff like this!? Sometimes people can be wrong with their opinions.
