: if you keep the sugar glider with you, is there a danger it will go poop or pee on you?

Danger?? No there is no danger but yes it will eliminate it's body waste on you or anywhere else that it happens to be. You see gliders are arborial, they live in trees and don't care what happens on the ground. Would you expect to be able to potty train a squirrel or bird or monkey, or any other tree dwelling animal? And I have to disagree about them not peeing in your pocket. This may be true once they are older but babies will eliminate both body waste where ever they happen to be when the need arises including your pocket or even your head.

: also, is it better for the gliders to be in pairs?

Yes, even when they get lots of attention from their peoples they can be very lonely for one of their own kind and they will become even more affectionate after receiving a companion of their own kind.

: and does anyone know where you can find info on designing and building custom glider cages?

Sorry but I do not have that information.

: thanx
