No no and no.
wind One of the biggest stresses on a sugar glider is being kept in a cage. Sugar gliders are, essentially, wild animals. Even though they are bred in other countries to be pets, this does not breed out the natural instincts of the sugar glider to glide between tree tops and find their food in the wild.
a sugar glider similar to a possum but nothing like it bet you can have a round like a ferrite
There are six different species of glider in Australia, and the sugar glider is just one of them. There are not different types of sugar glider. Since sugar gliders have become exotic pets for people overseas (not their native home of Australia, where they are fortunately protected and therefore may not be kept as pets), breeders have begun classing them by colour, including lecustic, ringtail, white tipped, albino, black beauty and white faced blonde. These are not species, however.Glider species include:Sugar gliderFeathertail gliderSquirrel gliderGreater gliderMahogany gliderYellow-bellied gliderOf these, the largest is the yellow-bellied glider.
Yes. But it also depends if the teenager is responsible and willing to commit to taking care of the animal for a minimum of 10 years. No. A sugar glider is not a good pet for a teenager because sugar gliders are a 10-15 year commitment. The teenager does not know where they will be in 10-15 years, and will be unable to take the glider with them to college. Sugar gliders are also very expensive pets to keep -- most teenagers cannot afford them.
I live in Fairfax, Virginia also, and I'm not sure what the question is completely asking. IF it means should I get a Sugar Glider in Fairfax, VA. Then i will tell you this. Sugar Gliders are legal,but dont trust perfect pocket pets
No. California has some of the strictest laws on exotic pets.
theres no such thing as a 'cheap' sugar glider. But you can look on classifyed ads for someones one they cant take care of anymore, those are normally cheap. But gliders are very expensive pets to take care of.

No. It is the dog's natural instinct to hunt and/or kill a small creature such as a sugar glider. In their natural state, these animals are enemies. It would take an exceptionally well-trained dog to not lunge instinctively at a sugar glider. Remember that dogs are domesticated, with certain traits bred into or out of them - but sugar gliders are wild animals that were never meant to be kept as pets.

Yes, sugar gliders have small sharp teeth designed for stripping bark in the wild. Biting is a problem when keeping them as pets.
No. It is illegal to keep sugar gliders as pets because they are protected native animals.
