Question
I just got 2 sugar gliders a few days ago.  They seldom come out and rarely let us even get near them.  When I try to get near, they run into their pouch and make a weird screeching noise.  What is wrong?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Answer
Bob,

I can tell that this is your first experience with Sugar Gliders.  Right now they are terrified and need time to adjust to their new home and to bond with you.  There are specific techniques to help with the bonding process.  You can find out about it on my website.  There is additional information on the other sites, or you can do an online search.

After you do some research, you will still have lots of questions.  Please write back, and I will do all I can to help you and your new little ones.

Good Luck,

Betty
