: Hey i was wondering if anyone knew out there if this would be a problem......I just got my sugar glider about 4 weeks ago she is bonding with me very well so far im thinking about this time next year she and me will have bonded pretty well. The thing is next year this time i might be leaving to summer camp for 6 weeks. I was wondering if she would forget me in this time witchi know sounds dumb but i dunno?! or if we will lose everything. I am planing on getten her used to the rest of my family that way when im gone she wont be so loney DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY TIPS HINTS OR CAN ANSWER MY QUESTIONS PLEASE E-MAIL ME AT PLAYENDAGAME@AOL.COM......THANK U ALL SO MUCH

I honestly don't think it would be that bad if you still went to camp.. I mean its not like youre never coming back and as long as your family will look after her and make sure they KNOW HOW AND WILL DO IT.. that includes some major family trust issues.. I myself wouldnt leave mine with my mother but Id leave her with my fiancee or my friend. Use your judgement wisely.. It could very well stress your glider out, or it could minorly stress her out.. but if your family knows her well enough.. it probly shouldnt be to bad. In the next year youll need to get them interested in her as well as her interestedin them though. Make her a family pet instead of just bonded to you.. If shes only bonded to you then you may very well want to go ahead and give her a better home to someoen that can spend mroe time with her.. I take mine everywhere.. and if it were impossible .. I'd refuse to go. Simple as that.
There are some cases where I'd let ehr stay with someoen however, It would only be a week max!!! i dont know if i coudl go that long without her anyways.. Hehehe.. i think i get more stressed with out her than she does w/o me!!
