: I would like to know if when you have 2 Sugar Gliders, if youshould bond with them at the same time, or if you should take them out at separate times. Also, I've heard of putting on two shirts and putting the sugar glider inbetween. Can you do this with 2 at a time?

I would start by holding them seperatly for about 2 hours
daily. You can put one between two shirts or in the
pocket of a shirt (flannel is possible) and gently
stroke it through the shirt. Or put it up near your
neck and if it stays there spend lots of time petting it
and talking to it softly.

For bedding, use a babies receiving blanket that you
have slept with so your scent is on it. This also helps.
The most important thing is spending mega time with em.
This can be a hassle but is necessary to obtain a good
bond. Not all gliders have the same personality. Some
like to cuddle and some don't.
