If you've been on the health and hygiene forum you've seen that my little Curious has been sick. I've began taking her to an exotic vet in Cream Ridge, NJ and she said in order to be healthy, females need to breed at least once a year. Is this true? I've never heard of this before and it is making me question my vet's familiarity with sugar gliders.

I don't think so, many, many, many females have never been bred at all and have lived long, happy, healthy lives.
My oldest female only bred twice and it actually exasperated a health issue we didn't know she had, so she was never bred again (she is 9 yrs old now, has not had joeys for 7 years).

If we never loved, then maybe we would never feel pain. Love anyway. It's worth it.

I have females that have never bred as well. They do not "need" to breed to be healthy happy gliders.

I could have missed the pain But I'd of had to miss the dance
