SunCoast Sugar Gliders

If you already own or have decided to purchase an exotic pet, such as a sugar glider, it is important to realize that their health often depends on specific care requirements. Many disease conditions develop due to inappropriate husbandry. In other words, you must become familiar with all aspects of the animal's needs such as feeding, housing, and temperature, just to name a few.

With this in mind a series of upcoming articles will discuss important requirements necessary to achieve excellent sugar glider health. I hope this series will enable you to provide your pet with the best possible care. Topics to be covered include:

Nutrition
Medical Check Ups
Zoonotic Diseases
Specific Disease Conditions Seen in Captive Sugar Gliders
Housing and Habitat
Behavioral Issues
Breeding
Neutering
Temperature
Hand Rearing Joeys
Safety issues in the Home Environment
Pet Product Safety

If you wish to learn more about these topics, all you need to do is sign up for this periodic newsletter. It costs nothing. If I see fewer sugar gliders as patients because the sugar glider community is better educated, I will be pleased with this contribution. Most of my clients could avoid costly and avoidable veterinary expenses if they only took the time to learn how to better care for their pets.

All I can say is if you wish to keep exotic pets, please do it right. The animals depend on you alone to provide them with a long, happy and fulfilling life.

In Dedication to Animals,
