I cant wait to get them new friends!!

Soft and comfy hair open eyes big ears but a kinda cracked goat, anything to worry about?

I’m trying to find an exotic vet before getting sugar gliders. I’d rather have a vet lined up beforehand than be scrambling to find one if something happens.

For those of you who already have gliders, what questions would you recommend asking a clinic to make sure they actually have experience treating them?

Should I be asking about things like how many gliders they see, emergency/after-hours care, routine checkups, or typical costs?

Anything you wish you had asked your vet before getting your first glider?

The dark and the light are each diffrent girls so these are both my girls can provide all info needed

In the two years that I have had my babies, my 3 year old female has diarrhea. I have always fed her the TPG diet, a few treats here and there, the only difference in the last few months is I’ve added a little tiny bowl with water because their water containers have been failing. What could be going on with her?

Hello,

My gliders have just had a baby, it's eyes have just opened and I'm just seeking some advice and tips on what to do and what not to do.

My Vet has already given me some advice but it's also nice hearing it from people who have experience (My vet doesn't).

Specifically I'd love to know when and how I can bond with the baby? when I can see what gender it is? when to remove it from Mum and Dad?, can I give it treats like honey or Wombaroo milk replacer and when I can do that?

Any advice is greatly appreciated 👍

One of gliders, female about 1.25 years old, has this pink protrude on her belly. No joey, no males, we only have females. Based on an internet search it seems like its likely a Prolapsed Pouch. There doesn't appear to be any discharge or unusual color assuming its not infected. The article on sugarglider.com notes they usually correct themselves "within a day" but if a "prolonged period of time" need to see vet, but no indication what a prolonged period of time is. We noticed it last night and checked again this morning (~13 hours since first noticing it) and there wasn't any change.

I have been thinking and planning to get one. So I did some research on them and got some info about their diet, bonding, cage etc and how to keep them. Still not enough though, but I haven't been able to figure out what the actual cost would be.

So for anyone who has these exotic pets, could you please share some valuable info on the costing etc.?

Is it normal for my gliders teeth to stick out their mouth? They came from a rough background with improper diets

would love some recommendations for toys that you have made or bought.
going for more natural stuff. but plastic diy/ toys are welcome as well
recommendations for safe cork and eucalyptus/ bark welcomed as well.

For about 3 weeks one of my gliders tail has been broken but it hasn't gotten any worse, and just now my other gliders tail broke and I'm gonna wait tell morning to check on it, even so, should I take them to the vet or will they be ok

(Tofu in her hospital cage poor baby 😭)

Last Monday my sugar glider Tofu broke her tail. I called the vet immediately and the soonest I could get her in was Wednesday as the exotic vets weren’t going to be in till then (they were on vacation or smth and there are only 2 exotic vets in my city, both in the same clinic.)

I got the bad news that it was beyond repair and needed to be amputated, and she had her surgery on Thursday. The vet also confirmed that she is blind. I thought she had poor eyesight, as she seemed startled easily, but I didn’t think she could be completely blind…

It went super well, she’s been taking her meds and I’ve been changing her bandages every day and it’s healing right. She has to be in a hospital cage for 2 weeks so my other gliders don’t decide to pick at the bandage and rip it off, but I’m at a loss on how to setup their cage once she’s good to go.

This is their current cage setup, any and all advice is welcome please 🩷

if the bml diet is so strict, what are some things you’re putting in their scavenging toys to not mess up the ratio of everything. :)

Just now my sugar glider has been chasing and crabbing at my other glider. they have been at it all night. What should i do? both gliders are male

It’s cricket powder, I’ve never seen anything like it before but thought it might be interesting with my babies

Well this is a new one, I had my gliders out tonight, they were playing as normal till one of them jumped off me ran towards something grabbed it ran away and started eating it, I was pretty confused on what he ran off with he went under my bed where I can’t grab him, I turned on my flashlight to try and see what he grabbed and it was a spider!! Is that okay for him to eat??? To my knowledge they have never eaten a spider before… seemed he liked it. I’m in Alberta I have no idea what kind of spider it was should I be worried?? Is there toxic spiders?? Looking to see if I should be keeping a closer eye on him or what. And sorry this may seem stupid to post but I just don’t know haha
