sugar gliders and dogs

Question
hi i am wanting to get a female sugar glider for a pet but i am trying to get information on if a sugar glider can pass any diseases to my dogs that i should be aware of that should change my mind on even getting one. i have chihuahua's and a corgi healer and i don't want to put them in harms way. Any information you can give me on sugar gliders i would greatly appreciate. like i said i am trying to get all the information i need before i get a sugar glider.

Answer
They don't carry anything that they can pass on to another pet, my gliders have been around my danes for years and years. But I will say it is not good to let other animals around your glider. My danes were puppies and were properly introduced to the gliders. I have heard of numerous stories of people getting a glider and letting them run around and play and the family dog or cat hurts them badly or kills them. I will say read AS MUCH as you can.
  Even better is talk to a WELL known breeder in your area, not a petshop, even if they carry gliders they are never very educated about them..they think they are but they give a lot of false info. Gliders are very very fun pets, if you have the time and money to care for them. They should be kept in pairs, preferably female to female or female to fixed male. Do not try to breed them, it causes them to become very mean. I have my pet gliders and then I have my breeders and my breeders all used to be sweet as can be and now I bleed nearly everytime I put my hand in their cages.
  A pair of gliders will need a cage that is at least 2 foot wide, by 2 foot long by 4 foot high. And small, small bars (they will squeeze through them if they are to big) you are looking at a minimum of 200$ for a proper cage. And they need ALOT of toys, mine all get their toys rotated weekly. If you keep the same ones in there they will get bored very quickly.
 Also make sure you have a way to purchase bug and berries and gliderade, these MUST be fed to them daily. Along with these they need FRESH fruit and veggies daily, I will say I slack some and buy frozen berries but really try and stay with fresh. They also need a staple diet such as monkey pellets. NO cat food, or anything high in corn, it will kill them.
  You also need to find a vet that's familiar with them, not that will accept them, but that really knows them. I moved to a new town and had so many issues with my rescue gliders. No vet really knew anything about them and they were not getting the help they needed, so now I drive 3 hours to see a exotics vet.
  And you really need to make sure you can dedicate 3 or more hours daily to your glider, if a glider gets bored or is lonely (especially if its kept alone) they will stress and become depressed and they turn into little demons. They will scream and crab all the time, frantically jump in a constant pattern in their cage and eventually will self mutilate and you will come home to a glider with no tail or legs. I am not wanting to scare you, but I want to be honest to make sure a glider is the right pet for you.
 I took in over 80 rescue gliders this past year and almost every single glider I got was missing one or more legs (due to being kept alone or not played with enough) or they were bald and very ill due to poor nutrition. So really do some reading on them and figure your costs for everything, the best way I can describe them is they are exactly like a new born. I also have kinkajous and aside from the cage, my gliders cost way more than my kinks and they are 8 times smaller, and way more needy. Let me know if you have anymore questions, I am happy to answer them.
