Anytime I see a unique pet, I'm always intrigued...usually to the point of wanting one. At a recent pet expo, I came across a dealer selling Sugar Gliders. What are Sugar Gliders? According to Pocket Pets of Dallas, Sugar Gliders are small, aboreal marsupials which originate primarily from Indonesia and Southern Australia. As their common name implies, they possess a gliding membrane (similar to that of the flying squirrels) that stretches from their wrists to their ankles and allows them to 'glide' from tree to tree. As with all marsupials, female sugar gliders also possess a pouch, in which they raise their young. Sugar gliders are nocturnal animals, which spend almost their entire life in trees.
Sugar Gliders can make excellent pets. They adapt very readily to captivity and can develop very strong relationships with their human keepers. They are small in size, and are very intelligent and love to play. They are very smart and have a long life span, most living to be 10 years or older if taken care of properly. Although nocturnal, it can be a benefit, in that they want to play in the evening when you are at home, and if you take them with you in the daytime, they are content to sleep in your pocket or pouch. Most gliders, if handled well and given time, learn their owner(s) scent(s) and have absolutely no fear of them.
Their diet consists of fruit, fresh vegetables, wholemeal bread, yogurt, peanuts, high protein dry food, and supplemented occasionally with mealworms, meatmeal or hard-boiled eggs.
According to the company, they get along well with other household pets...though I'm worried my dogs might think of them as another new toy.

I'm wondering which of my present animal companions would have it for lunch.
There are actually loads of details like that to take into consideration. That could be a nice point to carry up. I offer the ideas above as common inspiration but clearly there are questions just like the one you convey up the place the most important factor might be working in sincere good faith. I don?t know if finest practices have emerged round things like that, but I'm certain that your job is clearly recognized as a fair game. Both boys and girls really feel the impression of only a moment's pleasure, for the rest of their lives. Dallas SEO
