    I can never understand people who do not research an animal before deciding to get a pet.

    I got 2 for my birthday when I was 12 and my parents made me do 6 months of research on them so I would know how to care for them

    I look at it like this: I don't want my fur babies to just survive, I want them to thrive.

    Instead of accusing animal abuse when owning a single sugar glider you should give examples of the effects of a glider when it is kept solitary. This would help skeptical people take your advise.

    I have 4 sugar gliders, and they are honeslty the best pets and so much fun.

    Here’s what people don’t understand: you don’t HAVE to have a pet. You should only have one if u can take good care of it.

    If an animal is domesticated it's not a bad pet the owners are selfish for not giving them the care they need. Now I did my research for a long time that when it came time to take on the responsibility it was actually quite easy. Its easier when you know what to expect and how to react.

    I love when my babies bark. It’s the cutest little sound ever. Even at 4 am. 😂

    About the “two or none” situation one time I got a guinea pig. Later I learned that they need to be in pairs, I found out that I couldn’t keep two and then I later rehomed it I don’t regret it because I gave it a new home where she got a companion

    Thank you for taking this seriously and addressing all of this, I’ve always felt that taking care of exotic animals is not always hugs and smiles, it takes a lot of work and research beforehand and you have to take it seriously since these animals are in your hands. But with the true right care and prior knowledge not only are you going to have a “cool” pet but a best friend (friends plural for sugar gliders)

    There are no bad pets, Just incompetent owners.

    I would honestly love to just see you sit down actually talk about your routine with your sugar gliders along with what you feed them and why on a day to day basis along with how many times you feed them.

    I love this video so far. Especially since I'm planning on getting one when I'm older. It's been really informative and I can't wait to try living with these guys!

    Glad you made this video, I felt commited to having sugar gliders and I still am but it's always good to be able to find someone to explain why you should take your time, so I'm gonna take my time and wait until I can be totally prepared for it!

    Sugar gliders may not be everyone’s ideal pet, but you shouldn’t call them bad pets

    AWESOME video to spread awareness.... this video literally just brought 2 lonely Sugar Gliders together.... as new owners of a rescue we bought a second one within 5 minutes of seeing this video. We LOVE our sugar babies and look forward to the next 10-15 years as roommates. We spare no expense when it comes to our animals which are FAMILY5o us.... I would have NEVER purchased a pet like this... however rescuing 2 has been one of the best decisions i've ever made. Learning as we go... videos like yours are AMAZING... you are improving quality of life for those WITHOUT a voice. Thanks soooo much for your honesty and taking the time to share your knowledge.
