they are around 3 weeks out of the pouch..when i got them they were only about 10 days oop if that ...... and yes they are..they are the cutest little things you could ever have..i love my chinnies to death but these two little boys have captured my heart..maybe its because i have been taking care of them every 2 hours lol....i cant imagine having children..my poor glider babies make me exhausted lol

why are you having to hand feed them? I don't know anything about sugar gliders..sorry..

 

[chinchillalover0927]

because there mother died when they were 10 days old out of the pouch.sugar gliders are related to possums etc so they carry there young in pouches...basically when they came out and the mom died there eyes has barely started to open..they needed to be fed every hour as if mom was still nursing them..its almost the same situation of having to raise a baby chin thats mother passed at 10 days old...do you get it now?? i tried to explain the best i could lol

They are very cute!
I saw one at my vet, he was brought in because his nails were so long & they got stuck onto the blanket that the sugar glider sleeps/snuggles with.
I've always wondered how it's like to have one. Are they friendly like a cat or a dog? Or are they somewhat skittish like chinchillas? And how do you let them sit on your chest if their nails are long? They look more like claws to me.
Sorry lots of questions because I know nothing about sugar gliders.

 

[chinchillalover0927]

to me there nails dont bother me at all....and it all depends on the glider, and how they were raised and how they are bonded to you, my 2 babies are SO sweet the dad is also pretty easy going but the 2 females i have arent to friendly but i also got them full grown from a rescue
