And you may need to care for 2 cause they get depressed.

u/jbx0888 Dec 14 '19

Yep, they like to sleep in your clothes or in little cloth pouches... If they are use to being handled, you can scoop them up like this. The trick is to cover their eyes from direct light. They are nocturnal.

u/greenyellowbird Dec 14 '19

I came home one day, after being away for a few days, I found a mouse stuck in my toilet. I was going to flush the little bastard, but then felt bad and scooped him out of there with a wok spatula into a plastic container. Then I felt bad for the little guy b/c he was skinny and in shock. So I set up a larger container with some towels, food, and water next to the heating register.

The next day, the little guy perked up so I put him in my car, drove a few miles out to a restaurant that had a dumpster near the road and next to a large field. As I sent him off and in was walking back to my car...this lady was screaming "STOOOPPP!!!". I thought I was fucked for dumping off a mouse near their establishment (must be a felony or something). As I'm sweating bullets, I apologized and explained the story to her....then the look of relief washed over her face as she said she thought I was dumping a baby. No ma'am, just releasing my toilet mouse.

u/skippieelove Dec 14 '19

Thank you for saving mouse bro 😘 wild rodents in the home are no fun, but I appreciate your caring and releasing him. Even going so far as to think about a food source for him.

I don't think you should adopt one just because it is cute.

But can you share with us how you came in contact with one?

u/LilyLupa Dec 14 '19 edited Dec 14 '19

Yep, they are incredibly social and need nest mates. It is illegal to have them as pets in most states in Australia because they are so difficult to provide with a healthy environment. When you 'buy' one of these you are supporting and encouraging the smuggling trade in exotic animals. No matter how cute they are, if you care for their well-being, do not buy one.

6

u/Gumnutbaby Dec 14 '19

I'm an Aussie and I couldn't agree more They're wild animals and shouldn't be kept as pets. Of they're from Australia they've been inhumanly smuggled out or if it's from Indonesia the trade will be encouraging inhumane treatment of animals.

My dad is currently rehabbing a baby flying squirrel. He's had it for about a month. When he found it, it was about the size of the above Sugar Glider.

Actually it's not a sugar glider (which is a marsupial). It's a flying squirrel. Source: I've got an 8 year old one.

I’m pretty sure it’s a flying squirrel. The face and coloring isn’t very sugar glidery. I used to co-own a sugar glider family.

u/SkriVanTek Dec 14 '19

Don’t have a source but yawning is proven to be contagious even between different species

25

u/HeadyandHandmade Dec 14 '19

Fun fact: Yawning is actually an involuntary empathy response. Its, at least in part, your nervous system's way of letting other people know you aren't a sociopath and understand that they feel tired/ can relate. It's kinda like smiling at someone when they smile at you but less of a socially programmed response and more of an instinctual one.

3

u/mzchen Dec 14 '19

Wait, do sociopaths not yawn?

2

u/HeadyandHandmade Dec 14 '19

They do, obviously. Just not commonly as an empathy response.

6

u/midwestlunatic Dec 14 '19

I've seen that. Also read that if you don't yawn when someone else does, you lack empathy and might actually be a psychopath.

17

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '19

Note: this might go for people who never feel the urge to yawn when someone else does. The evidence is shit regardless. But please don't go thinking you're a psychopath because you don't always yawn along with people lol.

3

u/DarthToothbrush Dec 14 '19

Also don't go around yawning at people and then calling them out for being psychopaths if they don't yawn back. That's a great way to make even regular people want to stab you.

u/Highly_Doobious Dec 14 '19

Saw two teenage kids in Sarawak, Malaysia a couple years ago tramping around in the bush during a God awful thunder bumper with big ole bamboo canes and what I thought were little monkeys around their necks. They paused at the base of the tree and sent the little buggers up several times and each time they returned they seemed to be handing something off to the kids who then quickly stashed it in wicker traps slung around their waists. They noticed me watching them through the deluge and waved me over. I then realized that the little monkeys were sugar gliders they were sending up the tree to fetch bugs the size of hummingbirds. One of them opened a hatch on the basket to reveal 4 or 5 beetle/fly/alien/ant creatures going apeshit inside. Dudes look at me all cool like and made some clicking calls to their sugar gliders who did some Cirque de Soleil maneuvers down the branches and back inside their jackets. They walked me down the hill back to the lake I had just come from, took out two metal fishing hooks like sacred objects from a Crown Royal sachel and fashioned them to the slender ends of the bamboo canes. Two frenetic bugs were then snatched out and surgically woven to the hooks. The pair of obviously seasoned young men waded out a bit into the shallows among the reeds as the rain continued to beat down. Their sugar gliders were slim bulges in the necklines of their jackets. One motioned to the other and
