In Reply to: Glider question posted by R. Brownrigg on June 15, 1998 at 17:42:19:

: I just found out about sugargliders the other day. An old friend of mine, who I had not seen in a long time, has one as a pet. My question is, is it really true that Sugargliders are illegal in Massachusetts? I saw a couple of Sugarglider websites say that. I looked but I could not find any Massachusetts Law information that verifys it. It wouldn't surprise me, though, since Massachusetts has some AMAZINGLY ignorant laws. I would like to know, because I am definately interested in a sugarglider of my own. I just hope politicians haven't screwed things up for me. :( I don't want to breed them, just have a single or same-sex pair possibly. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

One Sugarglider does not live long if you have only one. Their should be at least two, but if not possible you must spend at least 4 hours a day playing with him/her because a glider can die of lonelyness. MA just change their ruling and made them legal but check first with your Wildlife and Game Commission.
I live in PA, I bought two gliders in March "96 and ended up with 9. They are great pet's but you must remember they are up from about 9pm to 5am.
