Agreed, Ed. Sugar gliders are a serious commitment, and are not easy to take care of. They live long lives (up to 15 years) and require lots of space, attention, and fresh foods. They are beautiful but require a serious and attentive owner. They are not at all suitable for children, and will only fit the lifestyle of adults who have a lot of time to spend at home, are up late at night (they are nocturnal), and are willing to give them specialized care. This information is worth reviewing in case anyone feels charmed enough by their to consider getting one: http://www.sugar-gliders.com/sugar-glider.htm

Hi, Ed.

Thanks very much for your important comment and the link to your website. Locally Toned appreciates knowing about your rescue center in NV. Thanks for helping to inform this audience about the plight of these beautiful creatures. The people (adults) I worked with took excellent care of their Gliders and truly enjoyed their behavorial traits or “personalities.”

I hope visitors to this blog will check out your site.

Regards!

Unfortunately due to kind-hearted media attention and “gee whiz” factor, sugar gliders are bought as fad pets and many are unceremoniously DUMPED or abandoned months later. We know. We have 77 up for adoption in our 501(c)3 rescue in NV. There is an epidemic of dumped/abandoned sugar gliders. They are exotic animals and only the seriously committed enthusiast, preferably a way adult, not a child or teenager should consider getting them.

Now Sugar Gliders have entered the pop-culture hype cycle and scores of wanna-bee teenyboppers are grabbing them up like popcorn. And dumping them when the cool wears off. Or maltreating them and abusing them.
