Subject: SUgar gliders, should I get one?
Posted by Craig on June 15, 1998 at 20:09:33:

hi..
I've been debating wether or not I should get a sugar glider and I need some
help. Currently I have two cats, a cockatiel and some fish. I don't like the fish
cause they just sit there, I love my cats cause they are just so cuddly and I
don't like my cockatiel cause he just pecks at stuff and doesn't like to cuddle
or play.
I was just wondering a few things about sugar gliders:
ARe they going to be like my cockatiel and just sit there and not be very
interesting or cuddly?
And are they going to be a real pain like my cockatiel when he goes to the
wash room everywhere and really make you not want to take him out of the
cage?
Thanx.

The reponses that followed let you know that yes they may be a pain and yes you may not want to take them from the cage.. Also they let you know that sometimes gliders may not want to cuddle. They also told you they will go to the bathroom where ever they are at the time and very few people have potty trained a glider. I am one of the few but accidents still happen. They don't go to an area when they need to go to the bathroom. They will go on your shirt, arm, even on your head. For a while they "skunk" you and it smells awful. If the glider is scared it will just sit there and do nothing. Everything that you don't want may happen. Still you wish someone to convince your parents that you should have a glider. I am very serious about wanting a pet because it is cute. If you think you want a glider read this link.. by the sound of your post you are looking for a perfect pet. Gliders have their downsides as with all pets.

I am not being crude because you are a teenager I am being honest with the facts you gave us.
