May I be so bold to ask why you want a sugarglider? I suggest you researched them and read all the past postings? the bonding is covered pretty extensively. If you want a glider to bond with, and you teach it to bond with a friend what is going to happen after a couple months with just that friend. The glider will get a tighter bond with your friend and you may break it's heart if you take it away from your friend. Bonding with a glider is a serious matter. You have to look at a glider as being and infant child, it has attention needs. If you give that glider lots of love and attention then "dump it" with a friend for a couple of months, you may get back a very different glider. This is my opinion only.. But I personally think that unless you make a 15 year commitment to that glider, you may need to wait awhile till you can. I know you are asking for advice, but the best advice I can give is to please wait untill you are ready for that kind of commitment. Maybe right now you are not able but you have plenty of time. Spend that time reading everything you can not only about gliders but what each person has written about theirs.. read the archives from the beginning read each response. Again this is only my opinion..
