I thought this could be beneficial to new owners, and owners looking to expand so I thought this could help. Since they are supposed to be in at least pairs if not more I thought lets gauge how much we spend in a whole for them, so lets g otwith the approx cost for two, this way if someone has 4 cut it in half, so then we can see how much they really cost us and please be honest |

I have 12 gliders but will not go into cost of glider or cages, wheels etc. to start up with.
Food monthly runs about 200 This includes alot of fu-fu organics
2 vets check per year = 50 Absolutely a must
Toys & bedding 50 I make my stuff so this figure is low
Mealies, nuts, yogies 25 all but mealies could go but I do it
maintainig e kits, trimtracks 25 Absolutely a must |

Mealworms and crickets: $15-20
Meat: $15-20
Fresh fruit and veggies: $10-15
Frozen fruit and veggies: $10-15
Eggs: $3
Yogurt: $4
Vet fund: $25-50
So, low end = $84, high end $127; average $105 |

Dream on. If you are feeding them properly you will spend at least 100 bucks a month. They need fruits and vegetables and meat. You will not get that for 10 dollars a month. |

i spent 100 on my glider my cage was free but i'm bout to try to buy a new on i make his toys i find this cheaper but every now and then i might buy some toys but if i was to not buy everything i saw that i wanted to make or get him just for food a month i'd say just 10 dollars  |

for my starting costs for all of my gliders I think I have spent over 1200$ (and that was the costs of just the gliders and there cage) good thing I was a hedgehog hobby breeder at the time! or else I would of never been able to buy my babies!!! when I turned 15 though I gave up my hedgie hobby and got a real job lol.
I would say I spend about 50$ a month on mine, I havnt been ordering anything off of the internet though and that sure dose add to the costs, when I see something cute I HAVE to buy it!!. I only shop around for the nesessary stuff now or I would be COMPLETELY broke!! |
anjuli503 Posted - Jul 17 2008 : 04:00:14 PM
since this is monthly, i assume all begining costs are out the door.
so we are excluding price for the gliders-which could range from feee- $1000's
what you have saved up for emergencies
cage and toys-unlimited!
vet bills-you never know until you go through it! but first time visit is $40 here.
costs to buy staple stuff for the diet which could be good for a few months- which could range form 20-100's depending on diet, and how much you buy
i spent in the 25-50 range monthly,on 3 gliders excluding all the costs which dont happen every month. I shop well, made my own stuff when i could, and i did get some home grown veggies. |
G3iMacMan Posted - Jul 13 2008 : 07:59:10 PM
Sugar glider x3 = $200
Cages x2 = $300
Vet Visit = $100
Food = $75 a month???
Toys = ... Lets just say that I like to spoil them.
All total for startup fees... I spend about 900 and it's not even been a month yet... But I love them I do. |
Tate and Jodi Posted - Jul 07 2008 : 06:27:19 PM
Tate was $400. YaLe was $100. monthly, if i stay out of the fleece area and the dollar store, i would say close to $100 for food. |
best_friendz2 Posted - Jul 07 2008 : 09:18:46 AM
In a month I spend $50-$75 |
sugar_arkansas Posted - Jun 24 2008 : 03:08:17 PM
I have ONLY ONE female glider.. and I spend about $ 75.00 a month for her. she has NEVER been to the Vet either.. |
jrockkim Posted - Jun 24 2008 : 12:48:11 PM
I got one for free and one for $75 so I put 75. :) |
BrianPhase90 Posted - Jun 01 2008 : 05:11:16 PM
I would say 15 a month on chicken, eggs, shrimp etc...
5 a month on yogurt. 20 a month on fresh fruit and 10 a month on fresh veggies.. and 5 a month on yogies...
55 a month... |
acquila Posted - May 28 2008 : 03:05:40 PM
I only spend about 20-25 dollars a month on my two suggies, thats because I grow most of the veggis, and i have friends who grow most of the fruit, and I make the pouches, newspaper is free. most of the food, is already in our house, I'm only 16 so i still live with my mom. |
set Posted - May 04 2008 : 10:30:46 AM
I have 3 sugies and spend about 50 each month.
I buy protien (mostly chicken and eggs) when it is on sale.
I use a variety of fruits and veggies (mostly fresh, but some frozen for variety)
Every 3-4 months I need about $75-100 in treats and supplements so I would suggest that I spend about $50 per pair per month.

monthly 100-125 depends on where i buy the food and stuff |
Belinda Posted - Feb 11 2008 : 05:08:07 PM
im sure i spend at least 125 per month but im guessing that is a low estimate. |
mrsshoe Posted - Feb 11 2008 : 04:57:57 PM
Well yesterday I did a stock up and i spent... 25 on mealies, 100 at petco, and then fruit and veg and chicken and shrimp and that was another 70.00 so almost 200 dollars. I do that about once a month. I dont think that is too bad.

I voted wrong as well, was thinking cost to purchase the glider lol woops, I have spent so far not even getting my joey yet over 300.00 lol and I am still not done I am having way too much fun I think..>^..^< |
salamander Posted - Jan 22 2008 : 01:50:02 PM
Woops didnt know what you wanted. I put for the amount they were purchased for not for a month of supplies. I thought that the choices were kind of low for the initial purchase. I hardly spend any money on them monthly. Maybe $10 a month on food. Newspaper is free. Come up with toys from around the house or at thrift stores maybe average $1 a month. And spend extra money on electric bills in winter so they can have 70 degree temp. Ok that might add up some. |
salamander2006 Posted - Nov 15 2007 : 02:15:01 PM
oh sorry i did for my pair i am waiting to get them i paid $200 for a pair and came with cade and toys |
ladysiren8 Posted - Nov 14 2007 : 03:12:00 PM
sorry its for a month |
suggiebear Posted - Nov 13 2007 : 08:27:08 PM
I paid $200 each for mine. I have 2. Monthly expense is around $50-$75. I use frozen veggies and fruits along with fresh. |
mrsshoe Posted - Nov 13 2007 : 07:07:50 PM
I would need to know if that is how much a glider was.. which was 80 per glider times 5 so that is 400 dollars for the gliders and about 50 a week on food. so that is about 200 a month..

Ilovesuggies Posted - Nov 13 2007 : 03:55:11 PM
On my gliders alone i have 7 and it totaled 950.00
but i spend 50 to 100 a month on them. Thank goodness i quit smoking and can afford my little critters. |
Ahsaehr Posted - Nov 13 2007 : 03:41:56 PM
Is this for just the gliders or monthly? If it's just for the gliders then I have spent (cut in half) 330 dollars on two and... a half gliders
but if it's monthly expenses then I'd say about 100 per pair. |
