New Sugar Glider

I've always wanted a sugar glider. (I didn't know they could last that long!) Sometimes animals will get used to you faster if you're the one to change their cage, bring them food, and change their water the most. The more they see they have to depend on you and trust you. the faster they'll get used to you.

Sugar gliders are great pets for adults! I have 4 and my husband has two. I hand raised two of mine because the parents were trying to eat them. The best way to get him use to you and to get him to bond to you is to get a bonding pouch. Some pet stores have them, but you will probably have better luck finding them online. During the day while he sleeps, carry him around in the bonding pouch. Put it under your shirt so he is close to your skin. He will be able to smell you and here you talking. Also, hand feed him treats. And if he bites you or crabs at you, don't pull away. Tell him no in a stern voice. If you pull away he knows that that is all he has to do to get you to leave him alone and he won't bond with you. Talk to him every day and make sure you spend time with him. But remember to baby proof your home before you let him out of his cage. And don't let him out and about until he gets use to you unless you can keep him in a confined room where he has no where to hide and you can easily get him. I hope that helps! Good luck with your new friend!
