Is it easy to provide care for sugar gliders?
Sugar gliders are comparatively easier to care for than are several types of reptiles and exotic birds. And they are a lot more hardy and consequently a lot easier to care for than some tropical fish. However, they are not as simple to maintain as goldfish, dogs and cats. Sugar gliders require extremely close attention to dietary intake. Their activity outside of the cage must be deligently monitored. And their behavior should be assessed for changes that may indicate dietary deficiencies and/or disease. There are several Sugar Glider books on the market that will explain how to clip nails, build a cage, and provide information on how to breed. The best rule of thumb: the more you know about sugar gliders, the more successful you will be at caring for them.
