GAH adorable babies you have!!

But beware letting them loose in your car...a clients called before with their glider getting stuck behind the dash or getting caught under the seat etc

They really are too cute!

That is too funny! Reminds me of the other day when I took Kai out of his pouch and stuck him to the roof of the car. Inside of course.

How adorable!!

I love the first picture! Too cute.

Cute pictures! You have a Kia! So do I! lol

Cars are not glider friendly be careful!!A lot of places they can hide where you can't get to them, without dismantling parts.

Cute rearview picture.

Kia's can go 160 Mph?

Scary for me, but I do have to admit cute.

They were just out for the pictures I wouldn't let them run free though. They stay in my shirt all day. oh and yea I have a kia and I havent tried getting it to 160 but it might!! lol

super cute. but as has been said, be careful. when i got my first glider she got BEHIND the cd player and we had to take the dash apart to get to her. needless to say i was panicking like crazy.

How adorable I love these pictures look at them driving all grown up ma!! Lol I have a Kia two aren't they great cars

As cute as your babies are, I want to just warn you to be very careful about the sunlight-it can really hurt their sensitive eyes if they are in direct sunlight for long periods of time. Also be careful that your gliders don't run and hide somewhere in the car's wiring!

Thanks I had no Idea about sunlight!!

I'm not trying to down the cuteness and your love, but it is something I have to warn about as a concerned glider momma myself!

I second that sunlight is bad

I was wondering if anybody has evidence about sunlight being harmful? I'm not trying to challenge it or anything, but I'm always trying to learn as much as possible and like to see the facts. Have there been specific cases where it was shown to be bad or something that makes people say that? If anybody could point me in the right direction for further reading I would appreciate it. :)

Sunlight kills my eyes. I don't remember what it's called, but I have to wear sunglasses with uv protection and something else any time I'm outside or my eyeballs fry.

Do u have light eyes

I have blue eyes, yes.

That's why blue and green eyed people have the worst case of burning eyes in the sun mine are blue green hazel and constantly change from light, dark, grey, green, dark green causing me to get horrible heat headaches so it's just an eye color thing bc light eyes let more sun in were brown resists it

Yeah, i know all that... it's just frustrated cuz i'm mixed races and my brothers don't have this problem at all! it's not fair!

Keep in mind that sugar gliders are nocturnal animals. Their eyes are made for night life. They instinctively want to go to bed when it starts to get light outside. Nocturnal animals have larger eyes in comparison to their facial size and have excellent night vision.

This wikipedia article isnt about sugar gliders per se, but nocturnal animals:

Yeah, blue and green-eyed people have less pigment in their eyes that protect the eyeball. It lets in more sunlight or just light. Dizzy, what two races are you?<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"><i>Originally posted by DizzyPo</i>

A few eastern european, some type of native american dont remember what, and black.

Another point to make, I have seen plenty of people posting pics on here where they have used the flash on their cameras. I think that is a really bad idea. Their eyes are not made to take flashes of light to them, and you know what it's like to have your pic taken with the flash right in your eyes. I don't know of any factual things, but since everyone is talking about the sunlight everyone should keep in mind about the flashes of cameras and turn the flashes off before snapping any pics of your suggies.

There was a post here on GG a while ago that had the same debate on the flash of cameras. I don't think it's going to hurt them if it's just an occasional flash...
(Though I don't own a camera... I always just use the camera on my phone.)

I have seen some closeup pics with the flash on, so I would assume it is going to hurt their eyes. I just posted another forum topic on this subject, so maybe some other people can offer their opinions as well. I always make sure I have the flash off when I take the pics.

Just another point to offer - how many rescues have you guys seen that are blind? Suggies that have a white eye or two white eyes...I wonder how prominent this is to the wild...as compared to capativity.

Something to noodle on. Since there is only...30 years of captive data (which is a drop in the bucket vs. 2000 years with dogs...it's hard to KNOW).
