Did you take them in as injured/abandoned? In Australia they are not sold in pet shops/shelters like your usual cat/dogs/rabbits/birds etc. Is it a thing in America to buy overseas wildlife as pets?
Sorry i meant Baci. I was just curious about how things happen overseasOriginally Posted by TortieBaby
Are you asking me or Baci-n-system? lol.
I rescued mine from a woman who was not taking care of them. They are 2 years old and for most of that time they were almost never handled.
They are making great progress! I can pet them both now, but they don't really like to be held. Spice actually glided onto my hubby's face the other day, it was so cute!
they aren't sent overseas, people breed them in the u.s. for pets, but they are wild in australia...Originally Posted by Dragoriana

no i live in NJ and their not wild here, it gets way too cold here for them. they need to be in atleast 75 degrees all the time. and even though a sugar glider is a wild animal mine are not. they were breed for being a pet. they were never in the wild who knows if they would survive?Originally Posted by mooficat
wow what wonderful creatures they are - I've never seen or even heard of them beforecan you let them back into the wild ?
I'm afraid my cats would just chase and eat them
