Your sugar glider is a wonderful part of your family and she seems to want to get out of her enclosure every chance she gets. Why does she need to do this?

Your sugar glider needs to have plenty of time to roam around in an open space, something that her enclosure, no matter how nice, can’t really offer her. This helps her get the physical activity her body craves. She also needs time outside of her enclosure to socialize. Your sugar glider wants to spend as much time with you as she can and she will likely form a strong bond with you once she gets to know you. She needs to feel loved and to understand that she’s a part of your family, which can be shown to her through lots of interaction and attention. For additional information, please contact your local Fort Myers, FL veterinarian.
