About 95 percent of the good Sugar Glider websites on the internet will tell you it is best to have at the least two. They do not do well as single animals. Unless you can spend more time with them then they do in their cage I would suggest at the least having two. Please use GOOGLE search for SUGAR GLIDER and learn all you can about them FIRST!!!. They are not the pet for everyone and definitely not the pet for people too lazy to research or people who IMPULSE BUY ANIMALS.

Would you want be taken away from your parents to live with some non-human and be in a cage 10 to 15 years of your lifetime and never see another Human again? Sugar Gliders are very social animals and can live in colonies of up to 40 Sugar Gliders. Want to know why mine are so friendly? It's because I have two of them and I do not leave them at home in a cage hardly ever. They go everywhere with me.

I wish all Sugar Glider folks could say the same. But it is sad that there are lots of them out here that spend more time locked up then with their human. Sugar Gliders are extremely social animals and they need and crave lots of attention / socialization. I take mine with me every where I go. Not many people can or are able to do that. You are entitled to your opinion. I think you should learn all the facts first though. Then you can form a much better opinion.

Lifespan 5 to 7 years in the rain forest. Lifespan 10 to 15 years (if cared for properly) in captivity. How long would you want to live? The point of this video was to show the bond that I have with mine. He could have run up a tree and he didn't he could have run away from me and he chased me. He could have climbed up the side of the house and again, he didn't. Think what you like but mine was born here in South Carolina and not some Rain Forest. He is on me more then in his cage.

It seems almost a bit savage, they crave height, and being low to the ground seems to mess with their balance. I could be wrong, but they need the rain forest canopy, not cages. They might make wonderful pets, but I don't think it's healthy for them to be low to the ground.
