Think of it like a grasshopper. These things are extremely light and they jump freakin far and open their arms like this as they glide:

Just play with them and get them used to being handled is about the only way to make them nice, and have another one around so it's not lonely. Definitely alot of work to feed and carefor but definitely fun to have. They're cool little guys. This is making me want one again.

Well I hope I'm doing everything right. The breeder told me the females complain a lot more and that I'm gonna have to work with it. At the moment it's crawling around all under my shirt and giving me hickies . I took her with me to class today and she just slept all day in her travel pouch in my hoodie and didn't make any noise. I let her sleep with one of my shirts I wore that way it gets used to my scent and it's with me pretty much all day. We'll see how she turns out.

Cool sounds like you're doing everything right. I got mine already kinda old (not full grown but not small) and it hadn't been played with when it was little so it never liked it.

We have those things in the wild where I'm from (surrounding Beaumont). My cousin had one back in the day, bit me through a welding glove.

You can take a shoe string, cut a hole in one end, and make a collar out of it. Then you can tie that damn thing down.

Look in the newspaper. I find them all the time... I wanted one for a while, but my boyfriend says I'm on pet lockdown for 2 years because I got 2 cats this month (we'll see how long that lasts)... Plus my dog, and like over a 100 fish, and turtles, and an 8 ft. boa, but my snake is at my brother's house because my boyfriend hates snakes. The sooner he helps me open a pet store, the sooner I will quit bringing everything home. lol

i got mine in traders village and the guy said they were kina old, and they had been in a box most of their life so that the person they saw next was their owner. well i guess thats why the guy is kinda mean. we let them loose at night they bark all night and show up in the weirdest places around the house.

Bought mine at a traders village as well, except these people have a sugar gliders shop that they sell them in during the week and sell them there over the weekend. These are just six weeks old. Is that young? They seem extremely nice and don't know how they could ever be mean
