Sugar gliders are small, rodent like pocket pets that make great pets for older children and even teens and adults. Sugar gliders get their name from the fact that they love to munch on extra sweet and sugary treats. One of the best ways to pamper your sugar glider is to give him occasional sweet treats. Yogurt covered berry drops found at the pet store make great treats. Your vet can tell you how much sugar your little guy can have on a regular basis. Never make sweets his entire diet. Other ways to pamper your sugar glider includes holding him gently and rubbing his belly, scratching his back, messaging his ears and petting him on his head. The more he likes it, the more he will stay in your hands. If he gets fidgety, let him go and wait for him to come back to you for more. Talk with your veterinarian Marietta, GA for more tips.
