: Hi, I was thinking of buying a SG but i was wondering if you could answer the following questions:

: 1-How much am I going to pay for one?
: 2-How much will a good cage cost?
: 3-Do they need hide areas?
: 4-What substrate should I use?

: Thanks a lot

1. around $175 to $200 each some place ask more
for female than male.

2. a laged birds cage will start out at $69.99, but
cages can cost alot it depend on you, but it best to
get one with a plastic- coated.

3. a nest box is what you will need this will provides
your pet with a hiding place.

I would suggest that you do alot a investigation
before getting one are two, and most of all do
not get one from a petstore. stop by a book store
and read the Sugar gliders book by MacPherson, and
ask more question to the people on this site and
other site for glider
