Am I Ready To Have A Sugar Glider?

22 15:54:20

Question
Hi, I live in a condo. With 2 bedrooms, its quite big. We already have a cage,
and a place for it to stay. I have a 12 year old daughter, who is very
responsible. She also love animals, and knows a lot about them. I like animals
too, but I don't think i would spend as much time with the sugar glider, as
my daughter. I am not saying i wouldn't play with the sugar glider, i just
wouldn't be so active with it. She would bathe, play, care for the sugar glider,
and everything else that is needed. I hope you understand, and if you can tell
us your response as soon as possible. Thank You Have A Great Day!
Best Regards,
Sarah

Answer
well first gliders bathe themselves and dont need human baths at all.....they do need alot of attention and care, at least an hour or so every night when they are awake...they are not like hamsters that are ok if you feed them and leave them in a cage...gliders need attention....a good site for info about them is sugarglider.com
