Sugar Glider Care - Requested

[@basicallybrynlee4497]

Can u do a video on how to convince your parents to let u get a sugar glider

[@jocibabyy9556]

fr my mom is half way but not fully there lol

[@herrera5204]

+Jocibabyy13 research a lot about them and explain to your parents how you will take care of them and what gent eat and all of their needs to show them you care.

[@emmaglenn6210]

+Jocibabyy13 sameeee my mom was like ok I will look and then she was like definetly no😭🙄

[@jocibabyy9556]

+Emma Glenn litterly the same damn thing lmao

[@slipnip7616]

This literally happen to me but this is what I did. I have my own job so the money is mine to spend, I told my mother I wanted a sugar glider and that is buy whatever it needs and all of the extras and such. She told me no so I had a back up plan and said " okay well I'm still getting it but I'm keeping it at my friends house " and a couple days passed and the final day when I was going to drive and get my glider I told her I'm staying the night at my friends to take of my glider and then she said "your not keeping a pet at someone else's house" and to make this fast she ended up letting me keep it at our house

[@stevenmocanu558]

My dad just randomly came home with the cage and two young male sugar gliders so this video helped me a lot thank you !!

[@lauryn4648]

Could you do an in depth tour of each animal cage?

[@nicoleffion1563]

Everything Animals yess

[@adamkun3222]

Lirbs that would take like a month lol

[@brizxy5475]

Sugar gliders and ferrets are so pretty. I love both of them!!!!

[@gowonder111]

Blueberry Turtles same

[@bethany.b.]

ferrets are pretty but they will roll around in their own piss and shit.

[@zeryfcollection]

I made a costum cage for my future pair of sugar gliders using wood, chicken wire, and metal hinges. It's 70 inches tall, 40 inches wide, 25 inches deep. Very easy to make, cheap, and fits perfectly in my room because i measured everything

[@emilyandersen9145]

Bro good job

[@parkerspocketpets6989]

Speaking of sent rubbing off on the pouch, I’ve come up with a good idea, make the pouch out of a old shirt

[@alainafrederick3552]

T-shirts are not a safe material for sugar gliders.

[@queencleopatrabeverly7914]

Thanks girl been doing research for months can’t wait to have my pair !

[@tj-us7zg]

I love you so much because 3 years ago I used your channel on rat diet videos and stuff because I was getting rats for my 11th birthday to help with bullying issues at school. My rats just recently passed away and I’ve decided to go with a sugar glider because they live much longer. And I hate loosing pets so fast. But I really love your videos. They’ve helped me more then once now! ❤️❤️

[@wintertriggersme6304]

I really love your setup! I will definitely be making some fleece climbing toys and blankets for my boys!

[@keeganmonkey569]

I can't wait to get my own! Your video was tons of help thank you!

[@scin1ty]

Did you ever end up getting one? :)

[@temperedtorture7848]

As an owner of 5 gliders, I'm completely against using any sort of kibble/dry diet for Gliders. I'm sure a lot of people have had success with them, but my opinion is that if that's all that's offered to them then that's all they'll eat because they have to eat to survive. Just wanna suggest to people that do have their gliders on pellet food only diet to make sure they keep an eye on their weight. We "rescued" a glider from a pet store who had him on nectar and pellets. Our gliders were on a hand chopped fruits/veggies and custom made protein mix (we make a blend of required vitamins/calcium and cooked meat + occasional mealworm) diet and the poor chap initially didn't even recognize it as food. When we got him, he was 76 grams at 9 months - meaning that he was only eating enough to survive. His coat was stained and he was malnourished. 3 months later, he's 115g ... the stains are gone and he spends his entire night running in his wheel. Personally, I'm against a non-customized diet for gliders because they all have different likes and dislikes. All 5 of our gliders eat different things and so they get different things. Be careful with the dry food and pellets. It's easy but it's not the best.

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

+Tempered Torture I completely agree with you, a lot of people that have sugar gliders only feed pellets. That's why I made sure to emphasize that pellets should be a very small part of their diet if they include it. And yes, sugar gliders can be very picky and each has a favorite food! :)I'm glad you have had such success with your rescued gliders! Thanks for sharing!

[@niyalee6299]

Tempered Torture hey im trying to get a male and female. Can you give me any advice?

[@yourdogmakesmewetshronk509]

Tempered Torture> Thank you so much! I really needed some better food ideas. I have 4 gliders, and I give them no dry/pellets now. Thank you so much! This was really useful.

[@katelynfouts8560]

I’m going to be getting 2 sugar gliders. So it’s always good to know how to take care of them. And things to know like their diets

[@elefanten3401]

Hey! I have two sugar glider and i would like to ask, maybe you can do more videos about them :3 please!

[@donnamerrill5266]

How long u had them any advice xx

[@blurryfaceblush5938]

I like sugar gliders

[@JesNKeithNAubrie]

In your video, you said they won't pee on you or they don't pee where they sleep? Mine pee in all their pouches and all over me. Any time they are held, they pee everywhere.

[@lorrannedepeche5163]

same, my male loves to pee on me, on his pouch, all over my walls! lol its gross but i love him anyways.

[@unwantedwombat4409]

Mine pisses in his pouch and when I take him out of his cage but the female only pisses when she gets out of the cage

[@laurashjack]

Same. ALL of my gliders pee/poop in their pouches, on their toys, and they'll always try to pee/poop on me. It's their way of "marking" their owner as a sign of love/possession. Mine are all girls, too. I don't have any boys. So, I wouldn't tell people that gliders are "potty trained". Mine will go on anything they want to.

[@strawberrysugar5077]

It's not the case for everyone's sugar gliders tho is it?

[@lyndiedriver4360]

If your sugar glider is a male, they can be more territorial and mark their territory everywhere they go.... o.o

[@armoredwings4182]

Thank you! I would love to have two Sugar Gliders if we move! To bad my dad's dog gets excited around tiny animals, I wouldn't want to stress them out, so for now it's still a dream!

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

+Armored Wings Hopefully some day in the future! :)

[@sophieblades8131]

Can u do a video on how to make those pouches please! I love you and all your pets

[@andretheinernaut3749]

IDEA! With your cage, if someone added plexiglass to the bottom of your cage(as in the lower parts of the walls) and filled it to the brim with hamster bedding, it would make a great add on for the Detolf since the Detolf majorly lack height! It’d be fantastic for hamsters who love burrowing!

[@derkatronjohnson32]

don't pee where they sleep? mine pee all over their pouch, all they do is sleep and pee all day, and as far as not peeing on you, that must be how mine say hi then cause the first thing they do when they climb on me is pee

[@debatingaftershock6816]

Derkatron Johnson haha... always that one rebel aye?

[@milkissses394]

Hahaha lmao

[@lyndiedriver4360]

Is yours a male? cuz the males pee alot to "mark territory"

[@MisbehavingKitty]

Can you do a full on care video for your sugar babies? Like all their care and what it's like owning a sugar baby.

[@marisorgin3230]

Very nice I kept them 18 years ago. Things have changed a lot. We will have them again. They make lovely pets. I took sometime for them to get bonded to me. Once they did. I really enjoyed them. They used to glide and all. Now our daugter would like to keep them. I encourage her and also to do her research.

[@hannahsaxton321]

I love sugar gliders

[@ruinedwings3706]

thank you for making this video its very helpful!

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

+LilVulpixGamez LPS np 😀

[@ruinedwings3706]

i do have one question what do you give them water in? Like a normal bowl or a water bottle, or if it matters what type of water you give them

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

+LilVulpixGamez LPS water bowl is best :)

[@ruinedwings3706]

Happy Tails thank you :) im planning to get sugar gliders soon so i am making sure i can take care of them

[@emmaglenn6210]

This video was so helpful!!! Thank you so much

[@cswann0821]

Are the exotic nutrition sugarglider cages a good choice? I am currently looking at purchasing one of there packages. Although I thought I wanted to find something plastic/PBS coated(not many around), while theirs are powder coated I believe? Have you had any problems with them?

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

Yes, they are safe and very nice. Be sure to use my coupon code so you can get 10% off

[@christophergreene7957]

Thanks so much for this video! I plan on getting a sugar glider in a few years but want to do all my research now and gather as much about them so I'm prepared in the future. It's kind of hard to find accurate info on their care a lot of times and I've heard a lot of yes and no's on if they need to be kept in pairs so it was nice that this solidified it for me, I'll defeinelty get two. Thanks again, for all the info

[@christophergreene7957]

Also as a side note I had a quick question. Is it possible to take them outside, like go for a walk with them in afternoon/ night (like when the sun starts to go down cause the light) ? Im just wondering for when I get one if I can take them into town in the late afternoon, its a small town so not too busy and not too many cars.

[@bayliem4158]

This video was very helpful because my family are getting 2 boy sugar gliders on January,16,2017 and we needed to know more about their diet.

[@RamonManka]

This was very helpful even 4 years later 🙏🏼

[@tallulahmichel9444]

Thnx for the facts! My sugar glider will be happy!!

[@rachaelforbes-cruz8525]

i love your videos! so informative! and anytime i search for something i want to know you ALWAYS have a video about it. THANKS! :)

[@Sincerely_hazelnut]

Hello I am wondering if sugar gliders are ok pets to have if you are a kid. I’m not just some random little kid who wants a sugar glider to torture. I own four rats and I’m looking for a bigger challenge. I do a lot of research on any pet I might own. I am a vegetarian so the only animal I would feed my sugar gliders would be mealworms. And for more protein eggs. I will do plenty more research but I want to get your opinion before I go any further.

[@olyvilleoly4606]

Thanks for the good advice thinking about getting x2 now not 1 . Very informative.

[@blueeyedpinksalmon]

Mine pisses always on me cute and friendly though

[@jennygonz284]

Hola!! Love their little crib. Where did you get the cage?

[@murship4038]

i know that sugar gliders lovess to eat mealworms...but mealworms sold in our country are not removed from the bug box so picking them out costs more...so can i feed them Dried Mealworm....i am asking this alsi because the package said ``Dried Mealworms for birds''...

[@alexissconiers1316]

Murshi p I would suggest getting about 50 alive putting them in bird seed with a potato. you can keep it all in one box and theyll keep multiplying. I have never given my glider dried bugs but she suggested that it was ok.

[@maceyring2303]

Do not give your sugar glider potato

[@Lunaia101]

Am adopting my friends sugar glider because she can’t keep it soo this was extremely helpful ,thanks 😄

[@ieshamaldonado6752]

Do u have a pair or only one

[@strawberrysugar5077]

Glider or gliders....

[@graceturnbull7300]

I love all your animals but i especially LOVE your sugar gliders btw I LOVE LOVE LOVE you and your videos

[@SeanofZeus]

You say we can give gliders fruits like apples and pears but later on then you say they shouldnt have fruit and nuts...so which is it?

[@nesilillard4803]

pleas make more videos on sugar gliders yours are so cute and i want one so bad.

[@Bugieo]

I know this is an old video. but I've heard things in the past about them being allergic to cats, and some sellers wont sell them to cat owners. Is this true? and also, my other question is: do you know of a good seller for Sugar Gliders, or do you know of where I could find some sellers. I'm wanting two, and i have enough time to care and take care of them, I just don't trust a pet store in buying one and would rather buy one from a good owner and or seller. Thank you for reading.

[@elisalongstreet1585]

I love your sugar gliders

[@milliebull2008]

I love your suger gliders!! Please do more videos on them

[@brendacastro579]

Hi thank you so much I have to take care of 2 sugar gliders of my teacher. At my school we get to volunteer to take care of a animal, I got chosen a sugar glider.

[@maddy9406]

Thank you so much Your lessons were so great

[@gennady37]

I fed it grapeband all the other fruits it worked and please do more videos on sugar gliders.

[@mochimo3744]

i would love more videos about your service dog! he is so cute

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

Thank you, I have a playlist on assistance animals, titled service dogs. :)

[@TaylorFisher-oj6qp]

I love ur vids, you have SOOOOOOOOO many pets ;)

[@kalis6527]

Can u please do more videos on sugar gliders

[@marisavickers2611]

I'm getting two suggies and naming one beastie after yours. P S can you make a video about diy pouches and toys?

[@briannajarabak3213]

Thanks you were so informative!!!

[@j.r.2806]

I'm looking into getting suggies, so I have some questions: How often should I clean the cage? Do sugar gliders need toys other than things to climb? Are sugar gliders really noisy once they're tame? How much fruit, vegetables and protein should I give them each day? Do their claws hurt?

[@syazaadlina8016]

awwww that cats at the back . sooo cute

[@hamskiieedon128]

Hi megan loving yr vids so please could you do a video on rabbit hutch tour and ferret care

[@emeraldselenna9111]

Could you do more videos on lineage and how to keep track of it?

[@bluebellmackenzie8412]

would this work for 2 suger gliders? Dimensions Total Height 159cm (62.5”) Depth 71cm (28") Width 56cm (22.5") Inside Dimensions 110 x 70 x 55cm (43.25 x 27.5 x 21.75”) Bar Spacing 23mm Wire Strength 3mm

[@noodledoodle3592]

Bluebell Mackenzie yes

[@djstatyk1540]

So I've been doing years worth of research on sugar gliders. I figured this would be the best way. Rather than getting sugar gliders, and then doing the research, I think this is wise. I still have yet to find any negatives about getting two sugar gliders. My tax return just came in and I found two female sugar gliders for sale for 250 bucks. I have to get a cage before anything else otherwise I can't get them. I'm waiting for the stars to align correctly in order for this to work out. I want these sugar gliders to have the best possible care in my possession. If I don't think they're going to get the attention or nutrition they deserve, I will not put them in that situation.

[@elonaduka6102]

Hi I know I'm very late and you probably won't see this but I'm looking into getting two Sugar Gliders and was wondering if it would be okay because I have to go to school in the mornings and they would be alone for around 6 hours. Would that be alright for them because if it'll harm them I definitely won't get them until I can devote much more time to them. Thanks so much you're video was amazing and answered almost all of my questions❤️ keep up the good work!

[@maskednicci3202]

I know this is an old comment but I just wanna say that in all likelihood the gliders would be asleep while you're at school, so that should be fine. :> They sleep during the day, and play from evening and through the night, so keep that in mind when it comes to planning your playtime. Good luck.

[@alyssassecrets5223]

Good news and bad news bad news I only have one sugar glider good news we are fostering some and might even buy one for our 6 year old Luna who is a sugarglider

[@DwarfedGiant]

I hope to get one really soon! This really helped my research! Thank you very much!

[@jackbarker8450]

Because of this video I'm saving up to get a sugar glider in the fall.

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

+Jack Barker only one?

[@Catspell25]

You need to get two!

[@Miasreputationtv]

could u do one on all of ur birds i just love them 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💙💙💙

[@kristenheinmiller9826]

How hard is it to take care of sugar gliders that have bonded to their previous owners? My friend got one from someone on craigslist and has been walking around with it in a pouch but she says he still won't let me touch or do anything with him.

[@primp6690]

Lol am I the only person who liked the vid even before it started? 😛

[@sockmonkeyrblx4218]

Where did you get your sugar gliders? I'm saving up for one and I don't live by alot of exotic stores. Did you get them online?

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

One?

[@sockmonkeyrblx4218]

Oh sorry, I meant two.

[@sockmonkeyrblx4218]

I'm thinking of getting two females.

[@isabellasaunders3697]

Happy Tails I have a question would the height in a sugar glider cage be unsafe if they fell or would they be fine?

[@xXAshkateXx]

MissIzzy 24 it's super unlikely that would ever happen; gliders literally live in trees up to 8x the height of her taller cage here in the Australian wilderness. Not to mention the fact that it's in the name - they are gliders. they literally have an inbuilt parachute. so even if they did fall, they'd catch themselves.

[@kenjiortiz7052]

Agreed thank you for posting this video and talking about them. I can't wait to have 2 of my own I'm excited about how I'm gonna make my cage I love the way you have made you're :)

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

Thanks!

[@eleazargarcia9163]

make a youtube video of yours bro

[@MarcusVargasJustQuadcopters]

thank you

[@sarahbeckley822]

The video might look better if u placed the camera a bit higher. Other than that, it's very informative n helpful. Other than that, if i am allergic to cats bcause of the fur, am I likely to be allergic to sugar gliders too?

[@lorrannedepeche5163]

Sarah Beckley i dont think so, im severly allergic to cats and my 3 gliders can rub all over my face and ive never had a reaction.

[@alexmoon1460]

I have a question ! 🙌 Where did you buy your sugar gliders and how much did you pay ? ☺

[@llamabottles1602]

I have found that white mushrooms are A okay. If I don't have a hotbed veggie, I give them 1 and it is very rare but it's okay for them. It doesn't have all the nutritional values, but it's still fine for them to eat. Most gliders don't like mushrooms, but mine do

[@sankarshdv]

Hi I absolutely love your videos :) keep them coming :) I had a small question, do gerbils stink more than hamsters? From what I've heard and researched - gerbils can get more tame than hamsters so why is it that hamsters are more common as pets than gerbils ?

[@haileytemte351]

Very good information video. It will help me a lot with my 2 girls

[@nicelog2760]

Could you please do a sugar glider video on feeding, I have tried looking and none of them I've watched narrowed down on if your supposed to feed them at a certain time

[@smokinnplatez1426]

This girl is now my friend making thing for her sugar friends

[@phillipmaddox5709]

THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH THANK YOU!

[@redfishbluefish8906]

I know plenty of people who own single sugar gliders who are happy

[@heatherhollander9903]

This video has been really helpful. I've been considering buying one....or 2 I guess since I keep hearing that would make them happier. I am a big animal lover but I'm still not entirely sure if I could keep up with the responsibility of owning them. I would really like to give it a chance. Something I don't think you mentioned is how they respond to other animals. I have one cat but besides birds she see's looking out the window she has never seen a smaller critter so I have no idea what she would think. (If she would see the sugar glider as prey or something she could be friendly towards and bond with). Any suggestions?

[@maxo5197]

I love your channel so much it's helped me a lot

[@mommyandmissy]

thanks

[@donnamerrill5266]

Is feeding them from your hands better than just putting food in the cage .. plus how do i make my sent to them littlest way possible xx

[@skanimals2059]

You should show a video of how sugar gliders glide in the air

[@fjbjbfo]

So I’m getting a pair tomorrow, but when you said you can feed them chicken and turkey, do you serve it raw or cooked?

[@djstatyk1540]

Hey how did that work out?

[@cyanpro1666]

I. Love. Sugar. Gliders. And your rats 😜

[@luzmontero9815]

Great information!

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

+Luz Montero Thank you!

[@hazmatmitchell]

I have been trying to bond with my sugar gliders for over a year now and they still try to run away from me when I hold them and they bite when I try to pick them up or just touch them. Do you have any recommendations for helping this process?? My babies draw blood from my fingers and so I leave them alone. It's discouraging.

[@avvrgtpg]

*they won't pee on you* you have saved me

[@pierreremacle5]

if i want to make a homemade cage for sugar glider (2) what size ratio should it be made of ? What kind of materials ? Is it important to have bars as walls for the cage because it is something i'm really not kind with , it make me feel bad seeing them true iron fences. does it need floors ? Is it better with vegetation ? I'm reaaly hipped about doing a cage for them but i dont know if what i'll do will fit for them. i imagined something to time taller than large , made of ''hard'' wall made of something climable and non transparent for the side against the wall and something more like a glass pane (plexiglass for exemple) as the other sides, is it a good idea ?

[@seldomscales4616]

Do glider bites hurt? Will they always bite before bonded to a specific person, or if socialised will stay calm and not bite?

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

+Harrys got geckos Bonding and socializing are the same thing, so if they have not bonded or been socialized they can bite.

[@seharfletcher271]

I love your videos and your animals and everything about you❤️

[@janeinma]

you should try giving them durian, and my gliders used to love waxworms

[@maddierobertson4265]

Is a cage that is L 30'' x W 18'' x H 55'' okay? don't have any sugar gliders yet but I want to get 2.

[@IIRubenRodII]

[@user-mb9mv1dw6x]

Thank you so much! I really needed this vid. I'm about to get one and I'm sooooo wxcited

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

+Itz Aubrey please do not get one. These are social animals and it is abuse to keep them alone.

[@Mob-tq7gv]

Do you think it would be ok to mix the veggies, fruit, and the protein in one bowl at once for them to eat.

[@lilyslay4528]

Do suger gliders like cold humid climate? Should I get shavings for the bottom of the cage. What if we have a cat.

[@flxra899]
