Take it with you for sure! You'll still be bonding with your new pet, and if you leave it at home it could set you back (it will confuse the issue to leave it with anyone else.) Take a smaller travel cage with a nesting box or a sock in it, and some familiar toys for the baby. Eos travels with me all the time and handles it very well. I keep her in my shirt until she wakes up, then let her play in the hotel room (supervised, of course) for a while before putting her in her cage for the night. (Be careful of any danger spots in the room, like holes, open toilets or drains, vents, etc.) Are you flying? If so, there are some good tips in the archives about how to sneak gliders on board and placate them in flight.
Good luck with your new little one,
Tiffany

: I'm sorry, I've already posted this message, but I can't find it. I thought maybe it didn't work. Anyway, I am going on a trip at the end of September to Santa Fe. In about two weeks I may be getting a sugar glider and I was wondering if I should bring it with me? If so, what should I do to ensure its comfort? I want to be a responsible owner, so detailed tips are greatly appreciated. I have a responsible brother who is willing to babysit it for me while I'm gone. Should I do that instead? Would that be better for the sugar glider? Or will going without it hurt the bonding process? Thank you for your help!
