Sugar Gliders are exotic animal that require care like any other animal. Gliders require a

"staple" diet, an exotic vet, and specific supplies.  You cannot buy supplies at  local pet sores, with exception of BML vitamins. 

​

Wheels should be ordered online, not a pet store.  Pet store wheels are not safe. See information for new owners for safe wheel links. 

​

The cute "pouches" at the pet store have loose threads, which can tangle limbs and possibly need amputation.  

​

NAIL TRIMS 

Glider nails need to be trimmed about every 2 weeks.  Bird rope is not safe even with trimmed nails. If you use sandpaper in your wheels nails still need to be checked and probably still trimmed.  The nails have a quick and you don't want to cut too far back.  The easiest way is to put the glider in a pouch and pull out one foot at a time. The best time to do this is during the day while they are still sleepy. I prefer to use toenail clippers, but some use baby clippers or cuticle clippers.
