you can read more about that here on a research that Caroline MacPherson had done on it. I do agree however the yougart should be kept to only once or twice a week. but the lactose intolerance was started when someone did a check into lactose and macropods mainly Wallaby's which have a different digestive setup than their counterparts the Gliders.
you said "I advise anyone interested in keeping a healthy sugar glider to join the ISGA "Glider Chat" mailing list,
located at http://www.ISGA.org -- it's full of experienced glider keepers and will clear up just about any
questions you might come up with. "
There is loads of good information in other places as well. I too WAS a memeber of the Isga List, however; it is not the only source of valid info.. there is also bad information there as well, anytime you have an unspecified amount of people you will have controversial info.. By the way I have healthy gliders, and I study and have studied gliders now for several years.
