We have taken our two on road trips with us. They did
really well and we didn't have to worry whether someone
would show up or not to feed and play with them.

: How do you go o nvacation if you own a sugar glider. I don't want to leave her(if I do decide to bring one home)with the same people who watch my dogs because gliders have so many special needs. Is there a special place that can take care of sugar gliders or can you possibly have them be baby-sat by the breeder you purchased them?

: You can check with your breeder but you are better off finding a friend you trust to housesit for you. We have had animals that had to be watched and played with for years and have had a couple of friends we can call on for those times we have to get away.

:
: : If not can you take them with you on the trip? The only problem is that housekeeping might do something to harm them?
: Leave a do not disturb sign on your door. Or you can put the cage in a closet and cover it.

: >But maybe if you and the hotel get it worked out before hand? I don't know what does everyone think?

: It never hurts to call ahead and find out about policies.

: : I also posted a question about what to feed a sugar glider and after reading everything I could find here's what I've come up with...
: : 1 Teaspoon modified leadbeaters mix
: : small bowl fruits and veggies
: : 2 Mealworms per night
: : and Brisky's all the time so that they can eat whenever they are hungry
: : But to me that seems like alot of food. The Leadbeaters mix is something I don't want to get rid of because I think it's the best thing for them. Should I just not give them the Brisky's because they don't really eat in the day time right? But as far as I know so far this is the best way to feed them. Please help me! With all of the info I get so confused.

: The only thing I saw missing was do you sprinkle your bowl of fruits and veggiews with a calcium supplement? You should be just incase they eat more of it one night than the Leadbetter's.
