My new pet.

Spurred Snake · September 28th, 2011, 11:22 PM

Yeah... Can yall give me any advice? Food wise, I'm giving him thawed vegetables with some kind of nutritional powder with nectar poured on top of it... He also has some kind of biscuit things in there for him too.

new car, new pet, whats next?!
i think you need to slow down lol

Sugar glider?

Spurred Snake · September 28th, 2011, 11:30 PM

Sugar glider yes.

Well he is really nervous right now... I heard you have to spend some time with them and they eventually come around to you. After hours of him nipping at me, I finally realized that I have to move towards him extremely slow and I can pet him a little.

What is next? An apartment =)

I had a friend that had one for a while, they makes a very odd noise that I can't even think of how to describe. Was pretty cool though he would wear shirts with the pockets on them and the sugar glider would just sit in that pocket.

Yes... When he is pissed or nervous, he makes that sound... Somewhere in between the sound of a squirrel chuckling and a weed eater.

Sounds like this...

They are so cute. I know a girl who has one..she carries him around everywhere in a pouch. He's cute...but mean as hell.

lol there is a flea market close to me that sells them..he even sells little leashes so you can pin the leash to your shirt or pouch so your glider can climb around on you when you're out, but can't run away

although once you carry it around in your pouch and it gets used to staying with you a harness won't really be needed...your glider shouldn't like to run off after it bonds...but if you're worried

I guess you have had one? I'm not understanding the bonding process... He continues to crab, unless I have food in my hand. I can pet him while he is eating, but damn does he go crazy when he is in his pouch.

Your local pet shop, but I warn you, they are pretty expensive.
