: : The repsponses I recieved, apparently from the same person,
NOT! I always use my real name...
: : did NOT impress me. I put a message on the this page for
: : advice on sugar glider mannerisms in captivity
Then ask about mannerisms in captivity...
: : and I get attacked because I sound like someone who is
looking for a "fad" pet.
Then don't sound like someone who is looking for a "fad " pet

Once you own one and find out more you will discover how many
people don't consider all of the responsibility... In fact,
you may find that the first one you get is from someone
who did not know all of the facts BEFORE owning one...

BTW, they don't pee much, just usually when you first take them
out. If you search the net you will find one person who
potty trained his when they first come out, can't remember
where I saw it. An they have a tendency to poop throughout
the time they are out and about. The poop is usually like
small pellets and will vaccuum up quite easily. SGs run around
most of the time they are out. They will come back and
check to make sure you are still around, but are quite acrobatic
and curious about their surroundings though. You will find
that many things must be put away and other adjustments made
when they come out... Search the net for more..

Sincerely,

: : run around like rockets or do they sit still in one place
: : and exactly how much will a SG 'poop and pee' whilst out
