Sugar Gliders/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can answer general questions about Sugar Gliders and their care. I am NOT a vet, so can give limited information about health issues. Since gliders are so new to the domesticated scene, no one can really be considered an "expert," but I can give advice as an experienced, knowledgeable "amateur."
Experience in the area
I have been a glider breeder for about eight years. I have nine gliders and their offspring. I have also done a lot of research about Sugar Gliders.
Education/Credentials
I have almost completed my studies at the Sugar Glider University.

2009-11-16 dogs and sugar gliders:
Spencer, Whether your dog and sugar glider get along depends on the personalities of both of them. In my case, the gliders crabbed and swiped at my lab, and he now wants nothing to do with them.

Shannon, Have there been any changes in your glider's environment? There must be something triggering his responses the past few days. Think about diet, things in the cage, smells, stress, unusual
