I got it from Bill O'Reilly, "Send us your pithy comments, and don't be a poppinjay"

Sugar Gliders are marsupials (mammals that carry their babies in a pouch) from Australia and New Guinea (sp?) They are a lot like flying squirrels. They have a flap of skin going from the wrist to their ankle, making them able to glide upto 400 ft from the top of a tree.

Do you let them fly around outside?

And how big are they?
 
  • #11
the size of a great dane... they can seriosuly maul you but you have to be carefull other wise they will jab youre eyes out with their barbs...

I think they can fit in youre hands quite cofortably...

My male is about the size of a medium rat, he's about 32 grams I think, my female is a bit smaller. I definetly don't let them glide outside. It would be very difficult to catch them. You can get harnesses for them but I refuse to put one of those on my gliders.

To tell you the truth, and don't take it personally, I think gliders are kind of spooy. They big eyes and bony hands are spooky.

Do you know what was wrong with her? I mean why did you take her to the vet? If you need to talk, feel free to pm me.

i got this poem when i got my vet bill for her...it really touched me and sent me into tears....

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Sorry to hear about your glider Alex. Never owned a Sugar Glider, but I know how hard it is to lose a pet, especially one that has bonded with you. You have my condolences at your loss.
