I know that sugar gliders don't do well around other animals at all. However, I have a dog, but he's not allowed upstairs (where the sugar gliders' cage will be) except for sleeping, which is in a different room than the gliders anyway. Also, I have a guinea pig, chinchilla, and lizard. They're all caged except for individual play time, which won't be around the gliders. So I don't think any of them will be a problem. What I do think might be a problem is my cats. They're kept in my room overnight, and let out during the day. That's the same room that'll have the sugar gliders in it. Also, the cats don't bug the chinchilla or guinea pig at all. All they do is watch them, and they don't even get into a hunting position. The cage wires will be too close for them to stick their paws inside, but could this be a problem? I have a lot of pets, and love them so much. I'm really passionate about sugar gliders and would like to own some, but will they be OK around the cats? Thanks so much! Please comment!
