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.

Adopt a sugar glider?

Sugar gliders actually do make good pets if they're suited to you. First, you should adopt two. Second, they don't smell bad if the cage is kept clean and they're on a healthy diet (Aka NOT PELLETS!). Yes, they do make noise though... Mine don't make much, but if yours make so much noise that they bother you, place the cage in an area of the house that is not in your bedroom. Now, adopting sugar gliders. There are some sugar glider rescues out there, but I'd need to know your location to tell you which one you should look into.
