You may want to also check with local regulations concerning owning sugar gliders ... I know they are illegal without a permit in some places.

I agree with what everyone said ... not the easiest pets to keep. Plus, they are FAST. They can jump like a flying squirrel, and easily cross a room in a split second. VERY hard to catch if they ever get out.

My friend had a pair for a while. They are indeed absolutely adorable ... but as was mentioned, not cuddly or affectionate. They spent all day in their hanging fabric pouch, sleeping ... and if she tried to get them out they would bite her.
