Videos like this are so important. It was because of research I did NOT get a sugie, even though they’re so sweet. ❤️

@catercoz2491 3 года назад

In Australia we are not legally allowed to have our native animals as pets, unless you are a wildlife carer or zoo. I find it mind boggling that people keep these little sweethearts as pets, but I can see the appeal. They are absolutely adorable. Thank you for another great video, Jessi.

@tonytomato100 2 года назад

That's pretty wild to me. As a kid who grew up in Canada, collecting bugs, amphibians and garter snakes was a pretty normal thing, we'd even keep tadpoles we caught in the lake/pond in classes to learn about their life cycle

@keith_5584 Год назад

I can actually see that point. There is far more territory where animals can be animals in Australia so the animals don't really need protection, just occasional help. (with the exception of road trains) Here in the upper America animals greatly benefit from being social such as a warm pocket while these little guys sleep. The climate here has a bit of a swing so the animal can more benefit from having a social caregiver. (basically it could be viewed as a type of captivity?) Make sure if you must, have at least 2. Everyone deserves to have at least one friend. (addressing the viewer, no the op) This is not a stance on it being right or wrong, just an observation. (hopefully a rational one)

@ohnonotagain8935 Год назад

The sugar gliders in the USA don't come from Australia they are from Indonesia and paupa new guinea. Size and faces are different between the two However usa only has captive bred exotic pet suggies

They're so cute and do seem appealing as a pet. Good on you for doing the research! Pets should be fun and enjoyable; their care shouldn't be a source of ongoing stress for the human or the other animal.

I think all pet will required quite same care. If you not ready to care, then don't pet one. But this SG, it is adorable, cheap diet to provide, not as dirty big animal for their poop or pee, and can make a bonding with you when the trust building up. I adopt 1 SG and really happy with the process making a bond from crabbing and biting until she can sleep in my palm now

Another important thing to consider is the expense. Specialized vets and treatments are usually expensive, as well as the need for specialized food and living accommodations. Also, despite a few stories otherwise, having a nocturnal predator also in your house (aka a cat) may not be the best idea as even if you can train your cat to leave them alone, the presence/smell of a large (to them) predator is going to cause stress.

Exotics = Expensive $1,000 -$1,500 to get properly set up $1,000 minimum for an emergency vet fund No other pets in the home. Cat saliva is toxic. Then you are ready to get gliders

@ohnonotagain8935 Год назад

Their crabbing is an intruder Alarm system and you are a scary giant who might eat them. You must be willing to spend time and earn the trust and you won't be stressing them out as much. Most pet colony quit crabbing as everyone has different smells and sounds and time spent with the suggies and usually bark or making clicks and shhhhsh noises to call to you once bonded. They only crab when they are scared. Offer treats and sweet talk to them to help calm em and get used to you.

@kikicogger2284 3 года назад

With Sugar Gliders, it is even worse as they are usually advertised by fair vendors (at least in my area). While the company that sells them says that they screen households, I highly doubt they do, especially when one sugar glide will get them about 450-600 dollars. They also don't require sugar gliders to be bought in pairs, despite the animal's obvious need for socialization. Lastly, they display them to people DURING THE DAY, misguiding people to their usual nocturnal nature.

@brendanhoffmann8402 3 года назад

One of my favourite childhood experiences was seeing a colony of these little guys housed in a wildlife facility near where I live. They had set up a large area with alternating lights to trick them into being into being active while the tourists are there in the day. So it was dark when we went in to see them. This is a trick that I've seen a few times in Australia to house nocturnal species for tourists to see.

Thanks for sharing info about these cuties and help getting more people informed!

@MissLilyputt 3 года назад

I would love it if there was a video about changing an animal’s sleep cycle and how detrimental it can be. One of the things I’ve been told about nocturnal animals is that you should keep them awake in the day and it will magically make them diurnal without any repercussions. That doesn’t seem like a good idea to me though.

@Madiannereid 3 года назад

That is so true. I have a rescue hedgehog and it makes me ill the straight-up torture that people put the poor little things through. An animal is not an accessory and has as much right to a happy, natural life as humans do. I personally don’t believe exotic pets should be kept, period.

@final_catalyst 3 года назад

Yeah my gliders have naturally shifted their sleep times by about an hour or to to get more hang out time with me, more so every so often if they really want to spend time with me. I have had to actively make sure I turn off my office light as it does tend to make them sleep in longer.

@corneliahanimann2173 3 года назад

I once wanted one too...then I read about them and heard they like to rub feces over their body to kinda mark who is part of their group, meaning if I'm part lf their group, I get the feces smear ritual too, and then I also figured I don't want to cuddle an animal that covers itself feces and maybe I shouldn't get a pet just to cuddle in the first place. I got a quakerparrot though, he's dope and doesn't smear himself in feces. Love that!

@amybee40 3 года назад

That's a fine quality in an animal, lol!

@final_catalyst 3 года назад

They don't cover them selves in feces, in fact they will not poop in the pouch (I have seen the mother activity "deal with" any accidents from the kids) they will poop well on you but they try to get it to fall off where ever they are purched. A healthy glider will poop dense modeling clay like droppings that dry quickly. (supper easy to clean) However they will dribble on you and other stuff for marking. They won't pee on or in there pouch intentionally, but they seem to have no problem with peeing to release them selves on you. They also a fenatic groomers with a hairproduct like spit that they use to stay clean happy and healthy glider should have fluffy fur and a clearly white under side. If yellow or staining as it is refred to then they have natural body oils, dirt, and yes pee on them that they have not cleaned.

@corneliahanimann2173 3 года назад

@@final_catalyst thank you for this informed response. I just remember I read something along these lines half a year sgo on wikipedia and looked into it again, unfortunately it's in german and also as you said, not about the feces, but they do try to have their colony scent spread among its members. I mostly looked into it because I wanted to be sure I'm not purchasing a endangered animal or something, but I also kinda realised it's not the pet for me. They sleep mostly during the day and they're supercute and social but I already had my mind set on a parrot and realised that a sugarglider will either hate my parrot, or it will treat it like it's a sugarglider too and they just have such incompatible routines. I really like to have a pet that likes to socialize and talk, and a sugarglider to me sounds like an animal that shouldn't be a pet in the first place? They need SO much care and you better have a bunch of them, and the space and then you do this for 30 years but it almost lives its own passive life beside yours... I'm don't know enough about this animal to have this opinion, but it definitely means this isn't the right pet for me. Supercute and tempting, but I'm not the right person, and the thing about them rubbing some fluid on you to mark them as one of them... I'm not getting over it even when you explain to me what I misunderstood about it😅😅😅

I have to wonder just what you might have to say about critters like ferrets... they might not be considered so "exotic" but back when we owned a pair of male ferrets (three decades in my past thank goodness) - they were quite the most challenging creatures to care for. I've fought my family for years about the idea of getting a pet ferret. The kinds of things you point out in this video seem like exactly the kind of information that would settle my son and husband down, hahaha! They don't quite "get it" when I tell them that caring for a cat is NOT THE SAME as caring for a ferret!! Have you ever cared for any of the weasel family of critters at Animal Wonders?

@SilentDiablo My experience with them was back in the 1980s, and my stepfather created a "custom" enclosure for them... which was really just a great big wooden box. Yes, really: he made it out of two-by-fours. They loved it as a hidey place, but I suppose he didn't know they needed a litter box, because there wasn't one. We scrubbed the thing down every other day...but wood is porous. It was MOST unpleasant. And yet at that time, several folks we knew said he had a great setup for the animals. Education about pets has changed a heck of a lot since 1985. Thankfully!!

And it can last for hours unless you can find out and fix why they are upset.

We need info like this about exotic pets to be more widely known. 2 years ago a family I knew had a couple of suggies that they couldn't take care of anymore. I took them in right before COVID hit so I had lots of time during lockdown to get to know these little ones. I am their 3rd home and they were barely a 1 - 1 1/2 year old when surrendered to me. They still have a good 10+ years of life left and have been uprooted so much! Yes sugar gliders are the cutest but the lifespan and exotic care is never spelled out enough to buyers. That can be said about any pets since people have a bad habit of dumping them. Sugar gliders have it worse so thank you for this educational info. I am always learning about these suggies and appreciate your expertise. I never would have bought sugar gliders but I just got the luck of having them surrendered to me, a rodent lover.

A lot of people think sugar gliders are flying squirrels, mainly because of the flaps of skin on their sides in addition to having large incisors. But unlike flying squirrels, they have large incisors on their lower jaw instead of both and they have unpigmented incisors. They also have 2 holes on the bottom of their upper jaw, as well as having their 2nd and 3rd toes on their hind limbs fused up to the claw. And most importantly, they have a pouch... which makes them Diprotodont marsupials.

@SGliderGuy 2 года назад

"sugar gliders" in at least the United States are thought to originate from West Papua, Indonesia, (not Australia) this likely makes them Krefft's gliders, at least tentatively. True Australian sugar gliders have smaller ears and a different shaped head. The video of a sugar glider gliding was actually a flying squirrel, who has a shorter tail that is much thicker at the base. The sound clip of a glider barking was actually that of a Caramel Glider. Common sugar glider barks sound more like a chihuahua puppy.

I'd been curious about how these cuties should actually be cared for, for some time when seeing them being kept as pets That sinking feeling when they inform you that these gliders live in colonies... and realizing I've barely seen people who have these as pets have more than one, two at best

I'm guessing, due to how active they were, that you filmed this at night?

Hi I'm Gregory and I was wondering is there an easier way to take care of sugar gliders for example a dog or cat can have one type of food now I understand sugar gliders arent these type of animals but I do think there could be a happy medium to take care of them so is thete?

I Got my sugies yesterday and im trying to bond with them but everytime i get close they get really scared/start crabbing. Anyone got tips?

I think that sugar gliders are cute but can be dangerous. By the way I love what you do for animals in need😊👍👏

Cute animals that are dangerous, makes them all the more endearing. The opposite behaviour compared to how they look is hilarious! A good example, was a pet squirrel that was praised on the news for beating up a burglar. It's on youtube. Can you imagine getting slapped/punched, with those teeeny-tiny hands? 💁‍♀️😂
