First of all let me say this is only about sugar gliders... I have 11 gliders that are mine and two that are not...

1. How long do they live? About 16 year as long as they are healthy just like any other aniamal

2. Do they make good pets? Yes they do but you have to be willing to spend a lot of time and energy with them.. They love to play..

3. How big should the cage be? I am not to sure on the cage size I know that if you log on to www.sugargliders.net you can find info on them just like you would here. The biggest cage that we have is 5 feet x 5 feet x 2 feet

4. What do they eat? Veggie, Fruit and of course the BML is there main source of vit.

5. How big do they get? About the size of your hand that is not including there tails.

But let me just say that these anamils are not just through away anamils if you get one you will uselly have it for a long time. If you would like more info on it please contact me at jmi77@hotmail.com and i would be more then happy to help you in any way that I possibly can but before you make your dission you need to know that they do take a lot of time.

they live about 15 years depending on the care that you give it

the make awsome pets if you give it the attension it needs. theyre lot of work but they are fun

the cage should be 4'Tallx2'Widex2'from front to back

they eat a variety of fruits and vegtables, insects, and BML

they get about 12 inches including their long semi-prehensile tail
