: I have studied sugar gliders as pets and I have found two
: very local sugar glider breeders (in a city of 100,000!!)
: who hand tame the gliders as babies but one thing I really
: haven't found is what type of pets gliders are.

: I know that they are nocturnal (no prob I stay up until 3:30am anyways),
: that they live a 15 years (great, I'm sick of my pet rats dying
: after 2 years), and that they require alot of human interaction
: if they are not housed in pairs (I'd prefer a pair but I don't
: mind interacting with my pets for 2 or 3 hours a day) but
: what I haven't found out is what type of pets they really are.

: What are sugar gliders like as pets? How tame do they get?
: What are the good and bad points of sugar gliders? How do
: they interact with their owners? Etc.
