chantelle is only 4 months old so she can go straight in with him
they won,t fight


and ask as many questions as you like,i really dont, mind answering,after all that is how we all learn
i was asking prestons owner loads and loads of questions before i got him
i think i drove her mad but she said she,d rather i asked

so ask anything you want

chantelle is coming from a breeder around the corner from where preston come from,but we have talked sam into picking her up and coming up for the weekend as she is only about a hours drive from the breeder
saves hubby going on a trek again

now sam says she knows she will fall in love with chantelle and want a pair

The diet of wild sugar gliders consists mainly of sap, nectar, bugs, and small animals such as baby birds. They are nocturnal, so as pets they're most fun late in the evening and early in the morning, and they are capable of making an interesting variety of sounds. They are very clean little animals, and although they do have their own unique scents, they don't smell bad if their diet is correct

The 4 most important things to remember in choosing a diet for your gliders are:

At least 25% protein; I think more is probably better
Water
Calcium!
Limit fat and sweets

foods they get include:

A wide variety of fresh / frozen fruits (NOT canned!)
Fresh and frozen vegetables (again, NOT canned!)
Applesauce
Yogurt with live cultures, various flavors

there cages need cleaning out everyday as they spray and if left smells abit

but apart from that they are quiet easy to keep as pets

i,m not sure why it can,t be canned
i got that info from a sugarglider site
we only give ours fresh fruit and veg

they are good fun and sweet too,they like to play peekaboo games,and sit and watch tv

and the dogs don,t seem bothered,they are so used to us having different animals around i think they are used to it
