Never heard of them. Can they be handled?

Really, you never heard of them?? They usually have some at herp shows. I am pretty sure they are marsupials. Not sure if they are handleable or not, but I am sure they are like any other animal(all have their own personalities). Some are probably more tolerant and friendly than others.

I guess i've heard of them somewhere or wouldn't have guessed they are marsupials, didn't know they were kept as pets though. Never been to a herp show, actually.

They run between $100-$300 per animal. Expensive little boogers! I got mine from someone I knew locally. They have about 2 joeys at a time. They eat fresh (or frozen thawed) fruits & veggies, commercial pellets & nectars ect., crickets & mealies (they can survive on the fruits/veggies/bugs - but the pellets and nectars are neat), and drink from a water bottle; must have a high canary wire spaced cage (so no escapes occur), must have climbing items, a sleep pouch and must handle them frequently so they remain tame. Many people put them in a bonding bag around their necks to keep them with them and show them off.
They make a cute chattery, mechanical toy noise if you diturb their beauty sleep.
Anyway, they are cute as a button. I hope when my daughter gets home in a couple of weeks that I do not find that she is allergic to them, or I will be forced to have to sell them. I'd hate for that to happen. Another one of my impulse buys (sigh).
Hope some of this has helped.

Cool picture. My brother just flew in today with his three gliders (in a plane; not gliding ) and is telling me that they shouldn't make anyone's allergies act up because they don't hvae the dander that cats/dogs have. He says that if anything, allergy-prone people sometimes have a problem with their claws scratching their skin and it acting up. I sometimes react to cats and thier scratches but have no problems with his gliders.

I have a South American relative, the short tailed possum. I always envied his Australian cousins, though.
About the allergies, though, gliders give both my husband and me hives where they break the skin a tiny bit with their claws if they're walking on our hands. We're allergic to just about everything in different degrees though. Neither of us is allergic to the fur itself though.

Sorry if there was some sort of double post.

These two females are only about 6-8 weeks old.

I was thinking of getting me a sugar glider once. I just fell in love with one, but I decided not to. Where did you get yours?

I also think ferrets are cute as well. I want one of those soooo bad, but I'd have the scent glands removed. My cousins ex-gf had 3 ferrets and they never smelled, they never mis-behaved, she kept their bedding clean always, and they had their scent glands removed. She said they were just precious and the sweetest things she's ever had for a pet, but she sold them to somebody a few years ago. They were darling.

Oh yea, I have those pics of the walmart drawers if youre still interested in looking at them.

They run from $100-$300 ea.

The scent glands were removed from my ferrets as well. But, they are not very clean ferrets. I have two in one cage and if they get to playing too hard, they will roll in their litter box, so If I don't bath them frequently, you can tell there are ferrets in the house.

Haven't noticed any real smell from the SGs.
