Yeah, they do.! They have no bowel or bladder control and males scent mark everything by peeing on it! I had some back in early 2000. It's better to have a pair or trio at least. I learnt the hard way that you have to be with a single glider all day. When I could no longer take him to work with me he started self mutilating and LOTS of vets visits were needed. I got 2 girls and he lived with them but it was too late and I had to have him pts as he had done far too much damage to himself.

I'm getting my second a few months later. But you can neuter males at like 11 weeks now. If you get them snipped before they hit hormones they don't do the crazy scent marking. My first will be a girl. But I plan on taking them everywhere with me. My job will always enable me to. I am an artist so I work part time and then I do painting commissions on the side.

You sue the little grommets in the scarves for breathing holes and screen for the bonding purses. It's pretty neatI even started ma

They most certainly do.Somehow thaty face makes the crazy care seem so worth it!I am so ready for it and doesnt phase me one bet. Even with all the negatives the pluses make it so worth it.The breeder says it does take quite a bit of work to get them to bond. Once I bond with the first it is necessary to get them a cage mate as soon as possible bec they will self mutilate like the above person mentioned. But I know with my schedule she will be able to come with me. They have stuf out thee now(Like bonding scarves and purses that makes it impossible for anyone to know.I dont everplan on working full time and if I do I work in office setting creating illustartions. So I will be able to take my guys with me always. If I can handle a chameleon I can handle a little sugie. It will require some loss of sleep until I can get her a buddy though. Its just a pretty penney toget these guys started. And expense of proper diet is a bit much.But I started making and selling sugar glider items to help with the hobby.

Unfortunately, while keeping pets is a great reward, your wallet will bite the dust. But the pros outnumber the cons!
