About SugarGliders
How long will it take my glider to bond to me?  How do I know my glider has solidly bonded with me?

The length of time it takes to bond with your glider can vary from a few days to a few weeks.  It shouldn't take any longer than two weeks.  You know it's bonded with you when it goes to you when startled or when tired of someone else's atten
What and how much should I feed my glider?

I don't have a set receipe for my gliders.  We feed them a varying mixture of fruits and vegatables with occasional meats thrown in for protein.  We suppliment this with baby cereal mixed with Nekton-Lor and fruit juice about two or three times a week.  In addition they eat breakfast with us each morning consisting of scrambled eggs or banana nut muffins.  Remember variety is the key.  For the most part if it's good for you it's good for them. 
How big should my glider's cage be?

For a pair I would suggest no smaller than a medium sized parrot cage.  24 x 24 x 36 being the bare minimum.  With this and your budget in mind bigger is better.  These are very active animals and they will use all the room you give them.  Bar spacing is crucial.  I would go for finch caging in the quarter inch range.  Any larger and you run the risk of a loose glider.  One of the large finch cages most pet stores use to house zebra finches would be ideal. 

Should I bathe my glider?

No.  Gliders do not need to get wet.  They use water to drink not to bathe.  Bathing is not recommended and is not good for them.  Getting your glider wet should be avoided.
How big will my glider get and how long will it live?

Gliders will grow to between 10 and 12 inches.  This varies with genetics.  With proper care they can live between 10 to 15
