Our suggies!
Jay got Bruce in the summer of 2008 as a joey. He's a very happy guy who is very tame from plenty of attention. He enjoys cuddling in pockets and running around Jay's shoulders. His favorite treats are Fruit Loops, meal worms, bread and tiny bits of cheese.
Bruce has been raised as a single glider and although he is very content, we are currently investigating finding him a friend of his very own.
This bonded pair came to us just this week. They have been fostered for nearly 7 years by a couple who has devoted themselves to guinea pig rescue. The couple found out we had a glider and we arranged to have the pair come live with us. Sydney and Taz have been taken care of very well, but their foster family wasn't able to spend a lot of time socializing with them. At the moment, they are a bit skittish around us humans. We are currently working with them daily to adjust them to us and eventually we hope to let them meet Bruce as well. Sydney is a little less fearful of us, but Taz is a very vocal and crabby guy right now. We hope to change that over the next month or so. Taz is also quite a bit overweight. We think he liked his glideraid and treats just a bit too much the past few years.
Our household also consists of one full time teenager, 5 other part time kids ages 7-16, a basset hound named Buddy and a cat named Molly. I'm sure each of them will occasionally show up in this blog as well!
Over time, I hope this blog will not only share information about our gliders, but information that will be helpful to other owners. There is a lot of conflicting information about the care of sugar gliders on the internet and I'd like to share some of the "good" information I've found, as well as warnings about some stuff out there that can be potentially harmful to these pets.
