: I am also a new sugar glider owner, I have mine ordered they will arrive tomorrow.
: I am from New Orleans Louisiana and sugar gliders are not as popular here. No one
: even knows what they are. The stores here do not carry any supplies for them.
: I have a friend that has one but the only thing he feeds his is fruits & veggies
: & cat food. However, his is still young if I had to guess I would say about 12 weeks old
: His glider sleeps on the heat rock (he only has one) I have purchased 2.
: I read in your last response to someones letter, your gliders drink glideraid and leadbeaters?
: What is that? and can it be substituted with hummingbird nectar?
: Here in the south we are not familar with their likes & dislikes.
: We decided to get 2 babies, not sure if they are female or male yet.
: We had hamsters and after about 3 or 4 years they die and we have 4 children who cry everytime
: their life span is so short. Our children are not babies, our youngest is 10 years old.
: I hear they adapt well to family members. I have read they become attached like guina pigs.
: I read they do not bite if faised to be held and they do require a lot of time. With 6 in the
: house alot of attention will be required. I have also read one of the story book stories and
: I read where they get alon well with cats, what about dogs? We have 4 large dogs and a cat.
: They all live happily ever after and get along well. The cat is very much loved and licked alot.
: Do they adapt to the enviorment they are put in? meaning if i expose them to the family immdiately
: will they except them better?
: Lots of questions and no where to search but, the net.

: confused,
