I recently bought 2 three year old sugar gliders a few days ago. I've never ones one before and I've always wanted one. Me and my boyfriend enjoy sitting on the ground by their cage in a room that is fairly dark because I've read that too much light can hurt their eyes.
When we first bought them they were very active and wanted to see their new home. Second day owning them (today) they seemed kind of scared of us when we just sat there and watched them. We didn't try to pick them up, we gave each of them a small piece of tomato and that's it. They stared at us for a little bit then one of them decided it wanted to explore around the room. They other one just stayed in the cage and stared at us. It eventually got more active after 30 minutes. My boyfriend slowly moved his hand over to the one that was roaming around the room and it slightly bit him.

Does anyone have advice or tips for me? I want to make sure they're happy and healthy. And how should interact with them so they don't get scared?
