Hey there! My name is Carrie, I have looked into getting a Sugar Glider for a few years now and finally got the opportunity to become a Sugar Glider Mom, I more or less rescued my little girl, she had an owner who thought they were taking care of her but did no research at all, she is less than a year old. I brought her home on August 24, 2016. She is incredibly curious and does not seem afraid of much, she was allowing me to hand feed her the first day I got her and even climbed into my hand. I have started bonding with her, slowly increasing the time she is with me during the day, even if she is just sleeping.
After tons of research and poking around I found the ideal cage to meet her needs and also be able to not take over my bedroom, I also have decided to do the BML diet, along with fresh fruits and veggies, and of course mealies. I have done lickie treats with her, but try not to overdo it on the treats.
Still working on nailing down a name for her, so far the possibilities are Mimi, Maisy, Midgee, Mocha, or Maple. I was hoping her personality could give me a better idea on picking one specifically for her, however because she is still adapting to all the new smells, a new diet, etc. her true colors haven't started to show yet.
We are making great progress in bonding though, I am happy to say I can walk up to her cage without crabbing at me, and I can pet her and pick her up without crabbing at me as well, so those are all good things. Will up date more as her and I continue getting to know one another!
Thanks for reading!!
