Sugar Gliders are nocturnal so there fore will sleep for a good part of the day waking sometimes for a drink or a snack. They are social and will prefer to spend time with you once they are awake.
They will require a large cage with proper safe cage sets, sleeping pouches and wheel. Listed below will be links to come of these for you and I can assist with the remainder.
Diet is extremely important for your new Sugar Glider. A staple diet along with fresh fruit and vegetables every night. Don't forget about fresh water also.
Please make sure you have researched and found a good exotic vet that will be able to see your Glider for a yearly check up and any emergencies that might come up.
Your Glider will need a companion so if possible please purchase 2 at the same time. I am able to bond any pair for you prior to leaving my home.
Now lets get started on some of the most important items you will need to make sure your gliders are healthy, happy and most important safe.

SAFE GLIDER CAGES
PLEASE REMEMBER ALL CAGES MUST HAVE 1/2" OR LESS BAR SPACING. NOT ALL CAGES ARE THE SAME SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU PURCHASE. CHEAP IS NOT ALWAYS SAFE.
FOR SAFETY OF YOUR GLIDERS I WOULD REMOVE ALL LADDERS AND SHELVES. I DO PREFER CAGES WITH THE REMOVABLE TRAY BENEATH THE FLOOR GRATE.
THE CRITTER NATION IS ALSO A DESIRABLE CAGE WHICH CAN BE EXPANDED AS YOU EXPAND YOUR COLONY.

SAFE GLIDER WHEELS
GLIDERS DON'T JUST RUN IN A WHEEL LIKE A HAMSTER OR GUINEA PIG. THEY WILL RUN THEN LEAP FROM SIDE TO SIDE OR EVEN TAKE A RIDE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WHEEL. THEY WILL ALSO POTTY WHILE RUNNING SO THEIR WHEELS ARE MADE WITH ALL THIS IN MIND. SO WITH THAT IN MIND, I HAVE LISTED THE APPROVED SUGAR GLIDER WHEEL MAKERS.

BONDING BAGS ARE A NECESSITY. THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL TAKE YOUR NEW GLIDER HOME IN AND TO THE VET IN. SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO TAKE THEIR GLIDERS TO THE PET STORE OR WITH THEM TO A FRIENDS.
I DO ADVISE WATCHING THE WEATHER WHEN DOING THIS. HIGH HEAT OR EXTREME COLD.
I ALSO ADVISE NOT TO WEAR THEM AROUND YOUR NECK WHILE IN THE CAR IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THE AIR BAGS WILL DO GREAT HARM TO YOUR LITTLE ONES.
I DO PURCHASE ALL MY BONDING BAGS I HAVE ON HAND FROM A WELL KNOWN VENDOR, Athena Tilley. THEY ARE ROOMY AND EASY TO WASH.
HER PAGE IS GLIDERTRENDZ ON ETSY. YOU CAN EITHER ORDER DIRECTLY FROM HER OR GET THEM WHEN YOU PICK YOUR GLIDERS.

GLIDER TREATS:
TREATS FOR SUGAR GLIDERS ARE NOT SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE GIVEN EVERY DAY BUT THEY SURE WILL BEG FOR THEM.
I SEE PEOPLE WANTING TO GIVE THEIR GLIDERS A LOT OF JUNK FOODS. CRACKERS, COOKIES, ICE CREAM AND MORE. I REALLY CAN'T SEE A REASON FOR THIS BUT A TASTE ONCE IN A BLUE MOON WILL NOT HARM THEM.
BELOW ARE A FEW TREATS THAT SUGAR GLIDERS LOVE.

LIVE MEALWORMS, HORN WORMS AND DUBIA ROACHES ARE ALSO A FAVORITE OF MOST GLIDERS
