How to Handle Sugar Gliders | how to hold a sugar glider

[@charlenekananen6640]

Kim you always have great videos. I can't believe I have had my gliders for almost a year and how well we are bonded almost right away.

This is great! Think this will be very helpful to people. It is really important to understand that it takes time for you to get to know your sugar gliders and for your sugar gliders to get to know you. Sometime videos make it seem so easy. I used to watch videos where people would just stand in front of the cage with the door wide open and the gliders would just stay in or around the cage, but mine always tried to jump to me or explore the rest of the room. Now 1.5 years later, I can finally open the cage door and they don't dart to come out. It just takes time. There are a lot of things I am more confident in doing now then even 6 months ago. I have 3 female gliders, and 1 of them always nips and probably always will, it is just part of her personality. She never bites hard, think it is just how she explores the world. Mine hate it when you cover their face when you clip their nails, so I can never wrap them in a pouch to do nail trimming. I just put them in a smaller pouch with mealworms and leave their head out to see what I am doing and that works easier for me. If I try and hold them and cover their head they wiggle a lot more and it makes it harder and takes longer. So sometime you just have to figure out what works for you and your gliders.

The talking about biting with Balkey was very helpful for me, I have a glider who has been biting, i don’t think it’s aggressive but he recently drew blood on my mom, but has never drawn blood on me. When he’s out of the cage he usually never bites or nips, if he does it is just a curious bite and never hurts. He tends to try to bite through the bars of the cage when I’m closing it. Love the video! Thank you!

yes please on in short training. Thank you for all your helpful videos

[@angelaconsoli621]

I’m getting to know what kind of handling each of my three new girls like and don’t like. This is such a helpful video!

[@bbbalson]

Another great video. Love the merch. The wife just got a shirt and sweatshirt.

[@shannongreen9071]

First, I've been watching your videos for quite a while and want to say thank you for all of the advise! Second, I just got my gliders/Joey's, neutered brother and his sister and did it ALL wrong! I forced them in my hand and now they are freaked out. They didn't even go back in their pouch when I put them in their cage, they are curled up at the bottom of the cage :( I probably set back bonding quite a bit, didn't I. Wish I would have watched this again b4 interacting...

I’m in the process of learning all about Sugar Gliders since my wife and I are wanting to adopt some within the next several months. Your videos have been awesome so far! Having no prior experience living with Sugar Gliders, I’m looking forward to taking the time to continue to learn by watching your videos!

[@MrRomineA]

So would it be called "Sugar mommy/daddy" ?

[@eriesisgod]

[@barbaraennis1160]

[@sugargliderdiaries]

My pleasure!

[@marybarker1546]

You always have great videos! Yes, I'm interested!! You are very helpful for a lot of us!! Thank you 😊

[@tokyodarling7105]

Yes, when I held my friend's former sugar glider, he was only on my left arm. But when he saw I had a hoodie on my back, he acted like he wanted to jump in there. 🤣😆🤣

[@macylouviere1110]

Hey I love your videos! I am trying to do as much research as possible so when I get my pair I’ll be ready to give them the best fur ever home ! You had a feeder station with blue butterflies all over it i can’t find the video or the link could you possibly tell me where you got it? Thank you for all your awesome informational videos 💚

[@christinamoffett1861]

I was wondering about the butterfly box to. Its adorable!

[@stevenlimbara5170]

How about their poops and urine? when do they usually did it?

[@tokyodarling7105]

I love your shirt. You do sell them? Edited: Nevermind, I found your store.. Thanks! 😊❤️

[@ryangolden8522]

Can you let roam around the house on their own?

[@jealu3681]

I got my sugar gliders around 6 month ago now. One is a neutered male and the other one is a younger female. Just a few weeks ago the male started to "mount" the female and they keep fighting. I have no idea why he's doing it but it's making me go crazy. Can you maybe help me out?

[@zj9526]

hey Kimberly, i love your videos and recently i got a third sugar glider and ive been trying to introduce my pair to her. i watched your introducing videos and i am not sure HOW LONG i should introducing before housing them in the same cage?

[@Lucidly_]

Do you know if I can have a sugar glider as a pet in fresno CA

[@TetyanaSvetsky]

I just have a white glider and it’s very cute

[@crystalcarlson1424]

❤thank you!

[@summerwayne4667]

Love this 💕

[@braelyndarby7340]

Hi Kim I’m looking into getting gliders do you have any safe zippered pouches websites or places that are safe? It would really be helpful

[@Jira_NYYU]

Do you have a glider that still shakes when you touch them. Our sugar gliders jobs over to us every time they see us but if i touch them they will shake for at least 5-10mins and then they would settle and go to sleep in the bonding pouch.

[@sugargliderdiaries]

Yes this is very normal

[@robloxprogamer6925]

help me my sugar is stuck in a wall, what do i do

[@Kitzoya]

what time is the best time to bond with them?

[@xstar5s115]

hi kim i recently bought a sugar glider about a month ago and ive been feeding it since and spoiling him with treats and such but when he leaves his cage he runs around and when i slowly come close to him he runs to the corner or under the bed. this has been happening for a month now. i dont know why he does this but you know?

[@magorzatapietrzak3191]

My Sister loves sugar glider

[@troycook6570]

Mine like to hang out on my back to where i can't reach them. What can i do to help with that?

[@sugargliderdiaries]

Trying to direct them with your flat hands to avoid your back and then if they get on your back anyway, slowly back up against a flat wall and gently put pressure on them. Sometimes this works. If not you can get a hoodie and just embrace it lol 😂

[@DinneBolt]

My sg always soft bite and then lick my finger when i want to grab her. When outside her cage she always run around, kinda adventurous type lol.

[@charlenekananen6640]

My male and female are Sooo different.

[@kawthardashti9374]

I don’t know I keep watching and torture myself, mine just keeps biting whenever he sees exposed skin :”)

[@sugargliderdiaries]

Is he alone? That can make them more scared/aggressive .

[@kawthardashti9374]

@@sugargliderdiaries yes but i dont think thats the case because i had him for two years he's bery comfortable when i hold him in a blanket or rub his belly. But whenever he sees skin near his nose he goes to bite

[@user-qh8zq2us4i]

Please help me I’m staying up so late cause my sugar gliders keeps fighting and I won’t want them to die

[@cathyandfam9364]

Great video!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Regardless of the trust, you are like you or what you think they like you? It is impossible for their complex needs to be fully met in captivity by forcing them to live in a captivity. They are miserable, they are suffering And they do not live life like they should. On average think alive about a hundred and sixty eight feet Explain to me where on your property. They would have space to glide even 50 feet
