Subject: I'm going to be a first time sugar glider owner.
Posted by S. Swain on August 09, 1998 at 23:46:30:

Hello everyone. I'm planning on getting my first sugar glider sometime soon and I've done all the research but I havent actually been able to talk to people who own one that could tell me a few things first hand rather than what I read in my books or find on the internet. I've read and heard a few rumours that they smell pretty bad. Is this true? On the other hand I've read that with proper care and cleaning of their cage this wont be a problem. The ones I saw that I was going to buy were brown in color. I was reading some of the follow ups here and some people were saying that brown was not the type to get and others were saying it didnt make much of a difference. One more thing... what do you do in the winter when temperatures drop outside as well as inside? Naturally my house isnt going to be as warm indoors during the winter season as it is during the summer! I've just heard about their sensetivity to temp changes. I know I probably asked too much but please help me out!!!
Thanks to any and all who respond!
