Sugar gliders are a social species and must be housed in pairs or groups to ensure that they don't get lonely and fret. Beware, however, because intact males housed together may fight, and may inflict serious injuries on one another. Ideally, house two females or two neutered males together. Gliders that are kept as single pets may exhibit repetitive, seemingly purposeless behaviors (stereotypies) that indicate stress. They may even refuse to eat, which can lead to starvation. Gliders can become accustomed to regular, gentle handling. Newly acquired gliders should be allowed a period of acclimation before handling begins, so they can relax in their new environment. Single gliders kept in a cage should be provided interactive toys, and of course ... and exercise wheel. Toys, branches and pouches will keep your glider entertained during the times when no one is at home to interact. by: Sugar Glider Store |
