no its not a good pet
It is not recommended that you ever buy sugar gliders from pet stores. Pet stores typically keep their sugar gliders in conditions that are not suitable to them -- they also have a habit of selling sick or injured gliders. As well as overcharging for them.
Sugar Glider cages may be purchased at pet stores. Petco and Wayfair carry them, as do Amazon and Cage Works. When purchasing a Sugar Glider cage, it is important to find one which is not coated with toxic paint which may be harmful to your pet.
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.
It depends which exotic animal you want. An example of an exotic animal you can keep is a sugar glider. As long as the exotic pet you want is legal in your state you can usually get it.
Check with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.
Most gliders don't seep unless they have an infected wound. If you observe your glider seeping, take him to your exotic-pet-qualified veterinarian immediately.
The Sugar Glider (named: sugar because of its preference for sweet foods and glider because of its membrane used for gliding) is a small marsupial possom that can be found in Indoenesia, Papua New Guinea, Australia, and Tasmania and around the world as a popular exotic pet.
A sugar glider is a wild animal and should not be kept in a cage. Many others disagree with this statement, preferring instead to indulge their personal fancies for keeping such an exotic pet and ignoring the needs of the animal. 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.
Sugar gliders are not regarded as exotic within Australia, because they are native to Australia. Sugar gliders are only exotic to countries outside of their native habitat. This would include the UK or the USA.
no you cant not ceep a echidna as a pet
The cartoon is called JACKIE but the real title is The Bush Baby, and it's not a sugar glider as per the story - it's a bushbaby, also known as a galago, a small African primate.
