Question
i wanted 2 know if my sugar glider can go in water 2 take  a bath or play in water she stinks alot

Answer
Amy,

Yikes!  Sugar Gliders should NOT go into water, they cannot swim!  Besides, being wet might cause them to become too chilled.  The best way to clean them is to use a damp cloth with some very mild, unscented  cleaner that does not need to be rinsed.  I use a product called Brisky Pet Products Sugar Glider Dry Shampoo Waterless Cleaner.  I order it from sugar-gliders.com.

Thanks for the question.  Good luck,

Betty
