What is the importance of slavery in the sugar islands?
Well, the importance of slavery in the Sugar Islands was the demand for labor. To better explain it the people who came to the new world saw rich agriculture. As soon as the profitableness of the land was recognized, a demand for labor would arise which could on;y be satisfied by some system of compulory labor.

Breeding should only be done if the gliders lineage is known. Now, if you have all of the gliders lineages and they all check out, then breeding can be done..and most likely a white face would be produced. However, breeding trios very rarely work. What tends to happen is that the male bonds most with one female, leaving the other female on the outside. In some occasions, the other female will help out with the young, but more often than not the other female just seems to be stressed out.
Also, just because you have a male in with two females does not mean that both females will mate with him. A reputable breeder that I know attempted a breeding trio for years... only one female ever produced joeys.
Just a note, I do not recommend trying to produce as many joeys as possible quickly. Please consider who would care for the joeys, and the stress that having repeated joeys can bring upon the mothers body.
Can sugar gliders and hamsters stay in the same cage?
I really suggest you don't( they could fight , or worse kill each other) I don't believe they can mate so if you do put them in the same cage don't expect babies...
Species such as sugar gliders, which are marsupials, and hamsters, which are rodents, should never be mixed in the same cage. Their diet, behaviours and needs are vastly different.
What is the biggest sugar glider?
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 glider
- Feathertail glider
- Squirrel glider
- Greater glider
- Mahogany glider
- Yellow-bellied glider
Of these, the largest is the yellow-bellied glider.
Can you put bark in a cage with a sugar glider?
Yes. I believe you can.
just be careful that your sugar glider does not eat to much of it! ha ha
so try it and see what happens!
Which way is air above a slope of a hill flowing to make ahand glider take off?
well the wind should go uphill, parallel with the slope. It would be hard to take off if the wind was going downhill... i guess...
How to make a pouch for a sugar glider?
two simple directions for making a bonding pouch and then a nesting pouch,, as follows:
for a bonding pouch:for a simple pouch with no see thru window its very easy altho u do need a zipper because without one your gliders can get out if not yet tame.
decide how large you want your pouch, then measure it and add a half inch on each side for seam allowance. for example, if you want your pouch to be 5 inches across and 5 inches wide, cut all sides 5 1/2 inches.(this size generally works well)
take a 7 inch zipper and using satin stitch, make the zipper to size, cutting off the unused bottom part. take the two pieces of fabric and add the zipper to each side, with turning down the half inch of seam allowance beforehand to sew the zippers to, now you should have one solid piece of fabric with zipper in middle. turn inside out and stitch all sides,pivoting at corners, backstitch on end of stitching, i like to stitch strap to the sides after so the gliders don't chew on the little bulk of fabric from within,and u can make your own straps with either fabric or strong bias tape.for bias tape, just cut desired length, keeping in mind that you will need a little extra to stitch to pouch. next stitch in a small box shape to pouch high up on sides of each side. if using fabric for strap, cut desired length, stitch in a long tube, right sides together, turn, stitch the same way, but turning down a tiny bit so frayed ends don't show. now you have a basic bonding pouch.
for a pouch your gliders can sleep in:, just omit the strap and the zipper, make dimensions slightly bigger if more than two gliders sleep in it and attach strong straps on four different places with hook clips to attach to top bars. i wouldn't recommend just attacheding fabric straps and tying four straps without clips as smart gliders can figure out how to untie them and that could hurt your pet.
