ANSWER: as long as the glider is not left outside or anything and is in a house then the weather where you are shouldnt matter, they should also have clean water at all times....I wouldnt trust any of your other animals with the glider alone cause animals are animals and have that animal instinct

QUESTION: dear laurie
but what i meant was...like dogs they follow u and love u
can sugar gliders love u?

Answer
yeah sugar gliders can make a chirping sound and come to the front of the cage when they hear you coming but they are not like dogs really and dont get like dogs do when you enter a room.....gliders are more wild animals but then can learn to trust you and come to the front of the cage to be petted and all when they hear you
