New Dad looking at taking in a rescue.. - 08/29/17 06:59 PM
Hello everyone! I'm brand new here and this is my first post. I'm single and I make a good living working for a reputable oil company and thought that sugar gliders would be an ideal fit for me. I researched them for months and finally about 6 weeks ago I welcomed Gizmo and Bandit into my home. They are absolutely a joy to have around and I spend most of my time playing with them when I get home. I purchased them from a reputable breeder who had done the introductions already before taking them to the airport so they were already used to each other before i ever layed eyes on them. Now to the point.. My best friend had mentioned that I have 2 gliders to someone he knows that also has a sugar glider and now he's asking if I would buy his gliderm. He had purchased her off of Craigslist so I have no idea how old she is or how she was treated prior to him. I do know that he impulse bought her and keeps her in a small bird cage alone and, according to what I've heard, doesnt spend time with her (hence why I call her a rescue). I would love to take her in and give her a way better quality of life but my only hangup is if she doesnt get along with my 2 neutered males then I'd have her seperated anyway. I have an 18"x18"x24" cage I can keep her in for a while but I would prefer to keep them all together so she has friends and a lot larger area to play in. I currently have a 36"x24"63" cage that I think would fit 3 suggies just fine. Would you please give me your .02? Maybe I'm just over-thinking this but I want to make an informed decision. Thanks!
