Hey all, I'm a new sugar glider fan , and I'm thinking about getting one, but I have a few questions to ask before I decide. I'd love some feedback:
1. Do sugar gliders need to have a "home base." Meaning, do they need to come home to their specific cage each night, or could they go back and forth between 2 cages every now and then. (I ask because I live at home at the moment, but I also sleep at my girlfriends house sometimes. Could I have a second cage there or do they need to come back to home base every night?)
2. How often can you take them with you? I know they're very sociable, but could you take them out with you in they're pouch every day, or almost every day, or is that too much? I have a pretty active lifestyle and I don't spend that much time at home (during the day), so I'm just wondering if they can come adventuring with me, or if they'd get overloaded?
3. A friend of mine and I are thinking of each buying one. I'm sure they'll bond with each other (we spend a lot of time together) but could that end up being detrimental, if they don't get to see each other all the time?
4. How are they around dogs? My family has 2 dogs, and they're very mellow and calm for the most part. I would have no problem keeping them apart if I needed to, but I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with dogs and sugar glider interactions.
That's all I have for now, but I'm sure I'll come up with more.
Thanks!
