Should I get one or two sugar gliders?
Sugar gliders are extremely social animals. In the wild, they live in large family groups, called colonies. Because of their social nature, pet gliders should always be kept in pairs or small groups. No matter how much time you plan to spend with your pet, you cannot replace the companionship of another glider.
Can you put two female sugar gliders together?
You can keep multiple female Gliders or multiple male Gliders together in the same cage, but it is not suggested to keep multiple males with only one female. The ratio of females should always be equal to or higher than the ratio of males in the cage.
Do male sugar gliders get along?
Typically only intact males are territorial with other gliders. Intact males will usually not get along unless they have been raised together. Males are territorial and will fight other males for dominance.
Do female sugar gliders need to be fixed?
Female gliders aren’t spayed, and should never be spayed, since they are so small and the surgery would be too invasive. If you purchase your sugar gliders from TPG, the males will already be neutered (unless you opted for breeding gliders).
What should I feed my sugar glider daily?
Feed about ¼ – ½ of a cube per sugar glider per day. Pelleted omnivore diet (~30%): Offer a small amount (~1 tsp) of a commercial omnivore diet, such as Mazuri or Zupreem. Vegetables, Fruits, Nuts (~10%): Offer small amounts of fresh vegetables, fruits, and tree nuts daily (2-3 tsp/sugar glider/day).
Can sugar gliders have popcorn?
is homemade popcorn ok to feed gliders? Plain popcorn is a wonderful treat for any animal. You can also buy those mini ears at Wal-Mart/Petsmart and pop them for about 2 minutes. They pop tiny little kernels, just glider hand size, and some of the popped kernels stay on the cob.
What do sugar gliders drink?
Even though sugar gliders drink very little and get most of their water from food, fresh water should always be available for your pet. A stoppered water bottle is a great way to keep water available. Glass is preferred over plastic.
