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

[@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

[@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 !!

[@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

[@queencleopatrabeverly7914]

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

[@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? :)

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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! ❤️❤️

[@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.

[@wintertriggersme6304]

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

[@sophieblades8131]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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"

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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! :)

[@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.

[@blurryfaceblush5938]

I like sugar gliders

[@emmaglenn6210]

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

[@olyvilleoly4606]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@z0mb1e.06]

Do not give your sugar glider potato

[@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! :)

[@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

[@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.

[@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?

[@tallulahmichel9444]

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

Thanks!

[@eleazargarcia9163]

make a youtube video of yours bro

[@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.

[@madisondaniels7381]

I am rescuing a sugar glider, I run a small at home rescue. The problem is, the home I’m getting her from never got her a friend. She’s about a year old, and I would like to rescue a friend for her. Could you do a video on bonding?

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.

I had a sugar glider. Her name was Andi I fed her, watered her every day. Cleaned her cage every other day. She died one day just randomly, I was ugly crying and I was left clueless, I didn’t know what happened. I played with her every day brought her outside sometimes. I don’t understand. I miss her so much... her diet was -Strawberries blueberries sometimes a drop of honey too -Yogurt drops -Mealworms -Exotic nutrition kibble for sugar gliders Is there something in there not good for them?

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

Not a complete diet, plus you had her alone which is abusive and she could have died from stress

[@djstatyk1540]

@@HappyTailsAnimals I think you have a very skewed vision of what abuse means. I respect your videos, and you have lovely information. But there are some areas where you do contradict yourself.

[@TheDemodicIceDemon]

Hi ma'am, I was wondering as I don't have one of these cute litter buggers yet, but is it possible for them to accidentally choke themselves on all those strings, because I know birds can so I was wondering if they were a bit better at it then birds

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

+Noble I have never had this issue, but I have heard that some people have. But I think that is because they do not remove them when they have been worn down. If the toys start tearing and falling apart, they should be taken out of the cage.

[@anngranack9214]

It is always advised NOT to have any loose strings on any of the items inside the cage and to check everything daily. If a toothpick can slip under the string, it needs to be replaced. Nails can get caught in these strings and if they are unable to free themselves, much bigger problems can occur. That's another reason why it is recommended to clip their nails at least every 2 weeks bare minimum. On the other side of the spectrum, any items or string big enough for a head or limb to squeeze through but difficult to get out should not be used either for obvious reasons.
