sugar gliders

if the males fixed then thats a diff. story

they male is not fixed .

i was getting a cage, and the pouch + everything you need for 260$. but i dont believing in cutting the balls off of an animal.

so I'll probably just get 2 small girls instead.

Normally i'd agree with you on that, if it was only for breeding control.
I'm no sugar glider expert, but i'd assume they are the same as many small mammals, in the fact that if they are not sexually active (which you don't want in brother and sister) they are VERY prone to testicular/ovarian cancer.

lol ok, 2 girls is great

how big is the cage? what kind is it. I have a 100 gal reptarium for mine. they are pretty cheep too (link @ bottom.) are you getting them a wheel? They need a large cage and wheel to play in while you are sleeping. Their cage needs to be taller than wider b/c they prefer to be as high as possible.

here is a picture of their cage. it doesnt have the leaves on it any more. one of mine tore it up leaf by leaf and took them to the pouch lol
they also have a few new toys that are attached to the top.

thanks they seem to like it.

the only drawback is if you have a chewer...
but one of mine chews like crazy if zipped up in her pouch but doesnt bother the cage.

they are like rabbits (in the breeding sense). if you have a male and female you will have babies unless the conditions are just HORRIBLE!

Get a flying squirrel if you can't keep a glider.
