Is the sugar glider the best pet for teenagers?

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.

Like it or not, it is a form of cruelty to keep sugar gliders. It is interesting that in Australia, the sugar gliders' country of origin, Australians themselves have not stooped to this cruel practice of caging sugar gliders. Only those with licences to maintain wildlife sanctuaries, or to care for injured wildlife, keep sugar gliders in specially equipped enclosures.
