Default Just bought a sugar glider (photoshoot)

The girlfriend bought one and the breeder convinced her, to convince me to get one so they can be friends . Didn't really want one but I ended up bringin one home anyways. For those of you who don't know, they're apart of the marsupial family and this particular one is from Australia. So I named her Sheila . Anyways if anyone knows anything about these things and would like to offer me some advice go ahead and let me know....

They dont get that big. I had one, they're really loud. I had just one and they get kinda mean that way so it's best that you have two. I'd consider getting another but i dont think the cats would like it.

Breeder said 5-7 inches. I hope this thing doesn't get mean... I'd be pissed. Is there anything I needed to do when it's a baby that way that doesn't happen will?

My Dad has one. They are very affectionate, and like to sit around your neck and crawl in your shirt. What suxs it that they are nocturnal and only wake at night, so you never really see them in the daytime. They also bark too. Kinda funny

Yeah this thing really loves me. It crys whenever I set it on the ground to play or it'll just jump right back on me. I know what you're talking about barking. It really is funny. Mine doesn't bark at people but it does when it plays with my girlfriends sugar glider. And thats the reason we got two so that they play with eachother at night and suppossively they will eventually get used to waking up during the day. We'll see. Here's my girlfriends, it's name is Bandit:

i got two boy and girl, they were both mean at the beggining. so i took them out every day to play for a while and the girl started being nice. The guy is sill mean i dont know what else to do he has biten me a few times, dam thing has sharp teeth. i recommend just playing with them and dont let others hit them or scare them, ive noticed that makes them mean.

Make sure you give them a well diet. My friend has one and it started limping around because it didnt have enough calcium. They are alot of work!
