It's surprising how intimidating an angry sugar glider can sound.

[@animalwondersmontana]

+VoyagerAbove No one would ever stick their hand in a dark hole if that sound came out of it! Super awesome defense!

[@katefernoliver]

VoyagerAbove it's called crabbing. They do it when they're annoyed, scared, or just feel like scaring the hell out of you. I had 2 of them ❤️. They also bark! And it's loud. So it often woke me up at night because they're nocturnal.

[@Flaksting]

She’s SOOO hectic

[@mmw55122]

I have made Sugar Glider pouches like you showed in this vid. Do you need more pouches or flannel liners?

[@MidoriFlygon]

it would be really cool if you guys did an episode on fish keeping. because i think fish are probably the worst cared for pet out there. people think they can put a betta or a goldfish (which can grow up to a foot or more)inside a tiny bowl when they really need is a tank of at least 20-40 gallons. and I'd say 80%of fish owners don't even know what the nitrogen cycle is. i just really wish people would stop thinking of fish as disposable animals.

[@TheEmeraldMenOfficial]

patelike I don't but my fish lived for quite a long time... my goldfish Jonah grew to about 6 inches and lived for over 6 years!

[@compulsiverambler1352]

patelike Yeah, it's because they neither vocalise nor display body language like most animals do. Not even eyelid blinks to indicate their inner state. Without those external indicators most people assume fish don't HAVE any inner states. They look blank so they must be blank, by human reasoning.

[@Moshimonstersgurl234]

The Emerald Men Official you probably stunted his growth or unless you had a fancy goldfish such as ryuhikin (probably spelled that wrong)

[@cedarthecloudfox353]

Yeah! Im gonna be getting my fish a new tank.

[@leila_de_hautjardin]

Many funfairs have goldfishes as prize in France depispite the fact that it's illegal. It's like proposing to win kittens or puppies ! It's even worse, because people know how to take care of a dog.

[@Crows_Den]

They're so cute! I had a friend who bought Sugar gliders, but she realized pretty soon that she didn't have time to bond with them, and her dogs at the time were eyeing them up like chewtoys. I was really proud of her for finding them wonderful homes, and it's always great to see places like Animal Wonders teach others about such uncommon animals without showing them off like "pets" as many animal organizatons (at least in my area) do. Animals are cute, and cuddly, and beautiful, but they're also needy. Love the videos from this channel, by the way!

[@ShadeSlayer1911]

+Kaytehh Just like human babies.

[@catpunk4194]

They are so cute! X3 I love sugar gliders. I want one but, I already have a pet flying squirrel.

[@GamblingTimeKaraoke]

0:14 Yeah, that was pretty much the exact sound I made when I saw the thumbnail.

[@richardcarpenter24]

I'm a new subscriber to your videos. I ran across it when looking at some other pet videos online. I have watched a good number of your videos and they're great. Keep up the good work. That sound of the sugar glider getting angry is how I sound getting up on monday for work.

[@animalwondersmontana]

Hi! Welcome! I can't help but smile when Gadget gets mad. Effective communication, but also super adorable.

[@vanessahelmuth8350]

Hello animal wonders Montana! I first found this channel on epic at my school, and have been obsessed since.Love your videos!

[@belle369]

That’s so funny! As a kid, my family had a sugar glider named Gonzo! He was amazing, and he lived a great life!

[@PinkChucky15]

Even when they're angry they're still adorable :-)

[@johnchase4408]

I kept these a couple decades ago and mine were named Gizmo & Gadget. Unreal. 😁

[@alexspalding4945]

Awesome I have had a few gliders and they are great and fun pets

[@katefernoliver]

Sugar gliders are a ton of work and a ton of time. Seriously. Hours of research and lots of patience. But they are really cool pets. If you want to get one just do a ton of research and make sure you're ready for the commitment! Good luck.

[@lashaymays1641]

Gadget and Gizmo are soo cute

[@alwaysfallingshort]

I wanted a Sugar Glider since I was a little kid at a flea market, and there was this adorable older couple selling them. I fell in love with them immediately. The couple even offered a half-off discount to my mother (legitimately) because they saw how much I fell in love, but she wouldn't budge. I work from home now, as an adult, and the idea of having a little monkey sleeping in my pocket while I'm working is pretty tempting. The only problem is I am starting a new venture that may have me traveling, so now is probably not the time to start the bonding process. I'm putting it on the list, though. I'm pretty serious about taking responsibilities for animals you share your space with, so I definitely want to get it right.

[@Rithene]

I had to go back and make sure I heard right when Jessi said "about a year ago." Coulda sworn that was, like, last month. I guess you could say that time glides... (yeah, okay, I'll show myself out)

[@fromscratchauntybindy9743]

How on earth can some people "not be into them"? They're extremely cute, social and fun! I'd keep a pair if I could. But then again, my family has labelled me an "Animal obsessive"...

[@efrenchen293]

They get papaya! I am so jealous!

[@Hosio]

I'd love to hear about sugar gliders as pets. You do a wonderful job at warning potential owners about the responsibilities and shortcomings of owning an exotic pet. You successfully cured me of my whim to own a fox (which I wouldn't ever attempt unless I had a house with a garden, but you've helped me get over the idea completely) , and also made me realize that I still want to have a chinchilla, and would be able to take proper care for it. So thanks for that :)

[@KatOfDiamonds]

I love that they are bonded! A happy update from the first meeting!

[@rachaellee8759]

PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE. I love these so much.

[@kyandeiai]

I was smiling this entire video, incredible animals

[@theoldar]

I really enjoy these videos. You bring a little sunshine into my world every week!

[@ashtonknecht2277]

Do as many as you can as fastas you can i love these

[@swr1240]

I love your energy and passion for animals! Found your page from the quiz show you did on sci-show. Wish I knew of your channel sooner!

[@vmwindustries]

I can't wait to show my kids your channel! thanks so much for your hard work!

[@MuzicIzLife01]

I have two gliders named Timon and Pumba! they are awesome pets and love giving kisses :)

[@cleodello]

Aww, yay! I'm glad they're close now.

[@schpookendike]

JESSI how do you make the transition period after the death of a companion easier for an animal. I have a dog who is getting up in years and starting to show her age, she had puppies years ago and we've kept on. her adult puppy has never lived without her mother, and has always been submissive to our older dog. the puppy now has her litter mate who came back to live with my family when his owner couldn't have him anymore and we've started taking the puppies on outings by themselves without our older dog in hopes of easing the blow when our old dogs time come. but I'm concerned for the both puppies, they get visibly upset when their mother isn't around, until distracted and I fear the transition of her loss won't be easy for them, not to mention my family. help!

[@hateonmeidareyou1995]

They are so cute! And I'm so sorry about the loss of your sugar glider Nemo but congrats about Gadget!

[@EATSxBABIES]

Question; Seeing as how these little fella's mark their territory with urine, and they spend a lot of time in that pouch. How often do you have to wash that pouch? Do you have extra's in reserve for wash day? Do they react differently after it's been washed?

[@animalwondersmontana]

The pouch needs to be changed regularly because, yes, it gets pretty stinky. We have quite a few pouches, different sizes, textures, and thicknesses. When th ey get a fresh one they don't like it as much as their old stinky one, but become associated within an hour or so.

[@supsup2179]

AnimalWonders Montana I have a question how can you tell them apart

[@SalutationsToriTot]

How cute!! Such fascinating little creatures :D

[@palmyra-productions]

Sugar gliders have become such a novelty pet to have these days it actually makes me nervous. So many are giving up because people just don’t realize how noisy and rambunctious they can be at night.

[@thefyrefairy720]

I had a friend who had sugar gliders. The first time I went to her house I saw a cage with a hat in it. I went to see if I could see what was in the cage and apparently I was too close for the gliders and they made "that" noise. I looked at my friend and told her that her hat seemed to be really piss off. Now "that" noise is the angry hat noise.

[@n0etic_f0x]

I knew someone with a Sugar glider, they took him to school and it would jump off their hand glide the slid across out drama stage on his belly

[@pekluanchew3679]

awww! they'er so cute!😃

[@unplannedsyntax]

i wonder if we have sugar gliders here in Brazil...but I don't think so. They´re really beautiful!

[@Vandebirt]

@ 2:56... "He is super chill..." and he looks like he is on coke hahaha! Love your channel... Subscribed!!!

[@joeyouyang]

how can you not be into these sugar gliders

[@genetsandjazz]

+Joey Ouyang Easy. They smell, they are ugly, they need too much space, ect. ect.

[@lillywho]

Surgargliders sound like my sound card has just died, Holy guacamole! 😅

[@melzymoomin888]

Oh my god I love them

[@whereisangie]

so cute!

[@RiniKiwi]

So cute!! They're even smaller than I thought they would be ^^ I thought they would be about the size of a tarsier, or are those also smaller than I imagined they are?

[@Horsedogz]

That angry sugar glider noise XD adorbs yet so strange!

[@supermanboy1255]

don't say adores it's cringe worthy.

[@Horsedogz]

SuperManBoy1 Adorbs adorbs adorbs...deal with it :)

[@supermanboy1255]

+Horsedogz No unless you you can make me jk lol

[@supremegodofrandomness9410]

Sooooo cute

[@Irisedpig]

These little guys are great, and its always lovely to see well looked after animals! I am curious why you said you'd tell their "rescue" story, when what you described was simply rehoming? If nothing else it seems kind of insulting to their previous owners!

[@animalwondersmontana]

Oh, it wasn't my intention to insult the previous owners, but just to share why we have them. Gizmo was illegally owned and if discovered by authorities he could very well have been euthanized. And Gadget was purchased as a pet and promptly abandoned, luckily he wasn't just left alone and ignored which happens to so many unwanted impulse buy pets. Just because they weren't in horrible condition when we met them doesn't mean they weren't rescued from the precarious situation they were in.

[@Nellyliz.larson05]

Love you so much 😻😍😘😻😍😘😻😍😘

[@sheiladancer52]

Fun and informative

[@amandadanley1530]

I'm curious to what your schooling is? I am looking to be a zoologist and your job just seems like the the most perfect thing. I love your videos

[@hannahdoxtader9810]

I love my 4 suggies! Great video. The word needs be spread, too many of them end up in terrible situations just because of an impulse buy 😔

[@urspufos]

aaah soo cute!

[@Mr20marko]

I want a human size version of that pouch lol

[@sophiashipman4199]

I think you should name the new chinchilla Ash we love you animal wonders

[@apis1156]

Hi! I was wondering if we could have an update on how Frasier the mink is doing?

[@uhoh7545]

Dead....(I'm not joking, he's actually dead)

[@amymanley9875]

Loved the sugar babies! A bit like a cross of hamster and bat. Did they pee on your head? Does it smell?

[@Godofcats]

My cousins have a sugar glider named spikes

[@felizfred1124]

I bought my SG from a breeder and he is a boy named Neo. But since day one until now, six days and I still cannot hold him. He starts yelling when I call him or try to touch him. He even bites me, still won't let me touch him. But he is playful at nite, he likes his balls, toys, and food. Maybe I let him smell my human odor for a while. Maybe because his previous breeder never had time to play with him since there were too many of them in a cage.

[@AtarahDerek]

Gizmo sounds like me when my dog wakes me up in the morning.

[@b21.9]

How do you tell them apart? They're so adorable, and you're so awesome!

[@morganawang1302]

[@socalanna1]

When you wake them up in the day doesn't it interrupt their sleeping cycle or is it really easy for them to get back into it

[@wtm7899ify]
