I'll be getting my baby sugar glider on Sunday!!!!

I'll be getting #5 this sunday! I'm super duper excited!

Her name is Lalana Silvara(the breeder named her Lalana, but I named her Silvara, lol) and she's SOOOOOOOOOO cute! Unlike the standard gray glider, she's REALLY light-colored and looks silver, rather then gray. For any of ya'll that are familiar with gliders...she's a WFB/100% leu het.



She's so chubby! I LOVE it! lol

I'm going nuts preparing for her arrival and just got finished setting up her new cage today. All it needs are toys! What do ya'll think, will she like it?



Ok, I'll quit blabbing, lol. I'm just so excited!

She is so gorgeous!! Ok, I'm stupid, but what is a glider? She looks like a combination of a mouse and a squirrel. I've never heard of a glider before. Whatever she is, she is precious. And, I think she will be very happy with her cage. It certainly is huge!

Congrats on your new addition!

Congratulations! She is adorable!!

I looked glider up in the dictionary and the only definition is:

a type of airplane that rides air currents without an engine

Well, she sure is a pretty airplane!

She certainly is the cutest airplane I've ever seen!

Oh my goodness that is quite the cage!!!!!

I'm jealous about your little cutie!!!! I would get one but I have a problem with pets that bite Even if it doesn't hurt.....I just don't like them. I won't even get a bird because I don't want to be bit!

A sugar glider is from the opposum family. They can glider, like a flying squirrel and eat lots of fruit(as well as veggies, bugs, etc...), thus the name Sugar Gliders. They're native to Australia(and one other place, can't remember where ).

They have to have a big cage in order to have room to play. That doesn't really give her room to glider though, so I always take my babies out of the cage each night to give em room to play.

She is precious!!

And that cage is amazing!!

So cute! And her cage is well prepared too I'm sure she will love it!

I'm glad you guys approve of the cage. Just 2 more days to find out if ya'll are right, lol.

Yup, I used the no-sew method to make the bedding. I made everything double-layered though and added a few of my own special touches. I make and sell ferret bedding(the sewn stuff of course, lol), but I was too lazy to sew anything. besides, no-sew stuff is safe for gliders because if they get ahold of a thread they can hurt themselves.

I took 4 3-inch wide strips of fleece(2 strips of each color) and made alternating 2-inch cuts on each side of the strip every inch. After it was cut it made a zig-zag-looking strip. I then made 2 smaller strips and added small wiffle balls to the ends.

I'm not good at explaining things, lol. I hope that made sense.

I'm so jealous... the one animal that hangs out outside in my backyard and poops on my veranda during the night... and I'm not allowed to have it as a pet. But, sure, export it overseas to be bred there. Fine. Have fun with your little sugar glider. Have double fun for me, because I'll never be allowed to get one!!!!!

The second I found out that sugar gliders were pets in America, i almost killed the government How dare they make those rules?!

Man, talk about rubbing it in your face!

I'll give my babies extra mealworms tonight and say they're from you.

It's wonderful having them as pets, but I'm jealous of YOU because you get to see them in their natural environment. Other then all the poop, lol, it must be amazing watching them glide from tree to tree! Min only get to glider from my hand to hubby's head, lol.

they'll have their very own room once we have a house.

Do you have any pictures of them in flight? You said you had others, right? Now, I'm fascinated!

Sugar Gliders are sooo cute!! Love her chubbiness! Her face is adorable

No, I don't have any pics of mine in flight. It's really hard to catch a pic of them in mid flight, especially since hubby doesn't like to take pics and I can't do it well myself, lol.

If you google "sugar glider picture" then I'm sure you can come across some flight pics.

Here's some They are just sooooo cute!!!!!
