Sugar gliders live an average of 9 years in the wild and 12-15 years in captivity. Needless to say, that if you buy such a beast you be willing to take him for more than a decade would. Of course there is always the option to resell or give your sugar glider away, if you would not be able to take care of it more, but that's the last thing on your mind as a responsible pet owner should dominate if you decide to a purchase.
What would be the reasons why sugar gliders would not be for you? 1) A sugar glider is the right pet for you if you spend a lot of time on the move. You can not have your exotic pet to travel with you, and you can not leave it for days at the time. Unless you have a reliable pet sitter, care for your exotic pet can every day during your absence, this type of pet would not be a good fit for you.
2) If you are too lazy to clean the litter box or take the dog for a walk, wearing the little sugar from Australia is not for you, because you know that you need to take her cage clean on a daily basis.
3) If you are too busy overall on a daily basis, as it is then the obligation of additional responsibilities such as caring for a little exotic pet that need your attention and care, might not be right for you at this time.
Take all the pros and cons into consideration when it comes an exotic pet like these beautiful little animals from the forests of Australia, need all the time, care and love that you can give them to the acquisition. In this way you will ensure that you will be the perfect owner for a sugar glider....
