Handled from a young age, these little marsupials

 are pet quality babies ready to bond to their human companions.

These animals, if cared for properly, have a long lifespan.

*Hand Tamed Babies:

*Price includes a nursery set up, a bonding pouch, 

 a start up supply of Gliderade, Sugar Glider pellets, and Calcium.

All our babies come with a baby care sheet and adult care literature.

• Sugar gliders need a cage at least 18"x18"x30". A Sleeping Bag or Pouch should be provided for them to sleep in. We do not recommend using wood nest boxes. Provide plenty of non-toxic branches for you glider to climb on.

• Line the bottom of the cage with paper or Aspen bedding.

• Provide an 8 oz. water bottle.

• I recommend Gliderade at least three times a week. Gliderade is a vitamin enriched nectar supplement for sugar gliders.

• A Sugar Gliders daily diet should consist of a premium quality sugar glider food, fresh fruit and vegetables. Calcium must be added to their diet. This can be accomplished with Rep-Cal or a similar product sprinkled on the fruit & veggies. (Rep-Cal is calcium with vitamin D₃  and can be found in the reptile section of most pet stores.)

• It is important to acquire your baby sugar glider at 6-7 weeks (Out of Pouch) and carry it in your shirt pocket or in a bonding pouch for several hours a days for at least two to three weeks.

• It is very important to purchase your hand fed baby sugar gliders from a reputable dealer.

• They are easy to care for, however, if no one is home all day one little sugar glider becomes very lonely. If left alone especially in the early dusk and/or dawn you may want to get a pair.
