    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have wanted to get a sugar glider for years, but I am not sure whether or not to support their sale. I know that a lot of vets aren't very knowledgable about them. I just wanted to see what some owners opinions were. I will not get one until I am sure that I can properly care or it and I am sure that I have a vet localy that can treat it if needed. Also, are they sensitive to smoke? I live in a smoking household,
 
I used to raise sugar gliders. They are neat, neat little guys/gals.

These animals are nocturnal and they will sleep all day. If that's still the pet you want and you do get one, get a female as males have a scent gland on their chests and one on their foreheads. They will scent mark you a lot because they are making sure other gliders know that you belong to them. It really stinks. They will also urinate and scent mark their sleeping pouches so you will have to wash them a lot. Females have a smell too but it's nothing like the males' smell.

Get them a large cage, at least 3' wide, 2' deep and around 4' tall and larger if you can afford it. These guys love to move around and play. They like lots of climbing branches and a glider-safe wheel which is a wheel that doesn't have the little bars on it.

Buy them glider food. They can eat cat food, etc. but it's not healthy for them. Get a diet specified for gliders. There is a product called Glider-Aide that is a powder and you mix it with water. It's good for them and they love it.

As for smoke being harmful to them. Yes, secondhand smoke is harmful to anything especially something so small.
