Sugar Glider Central

Hello! I'm so excited because I just got a little companion for my little Sydney. Her name is Peaches (yes, I ended up going with a little girl instead of a neutered male, neutering costs are rather expensive...). Anyways, she's very good when you hold her, but when she's in her pouch, she starts crabbing like crazy! And I mean this is when you reach in to feed her, or you get her out to bond with her. She's had some time to get used to the house, but man, she has some strong vocal chords!!!

Congratulations on the new Sugar Glider,
It's great that you have made the decision to purchase a friend for Sydney, please, keep in mind, that any new Glider that you bring into your home MUST be quarantined from other Gliders for a minimum of 30 days. Prior to the quarantine period, the new Glider should be vet checked, and after the quarantine period both Gliders should be vet checked before you pursue introductions. This is in order to make sure that the new Glider will not present a disease that will affect your entire colony.

After this being said, I would suggest that you go to the Bonding Thread and read my post "Sugar Glider Bonding (All Questions Answered Here!!!) If you still have questions after reading that, PLEASE post them on THAT thread and I'll get back to you.

Thank You!
Lauren

I don't have tons of experience, we got our little boy and girl about a month ago. when we first got them the little girl crabbed up a storm. It seemed she was especially upset if we approached her while she was in the pouch. It's as if she's very territorial about her little home. But the more comfortable she's gotten with us the less she crabs. the little boy has always been very freindly but it took some time for her to come around. After a month of hard work she hardly ever crabs. she still might if we reach into the pouch and she is startled but for the most
