Sugar Gliders!

Yes my boys have been through a few homes as well. It seems to be a common case for gliders for some reason. My mom has a mistrust of them because when I was introducing her to one of them the glider got too brave and hopped out his pouch. We began to shout in surprise because we knew our cat was also in the living room. Fearing for his safety my mom was the first one to get a good hold on the scampering sucker and the glider gave her a big bite for her efforts and she bled pretty good from it. I tried explaining he was just very scared from being in a new place and people are suddenly shouting and grabbing, it was just self defense out of fright. She still insists they are demon monkeys and the crabbing whenever she enters the room certainly doesn't help.

She has since slightly changed her mind when I had her take care of them one weekend and she saw how nice Toki could be when he came to greet her every night during feeding time. I knew I could count on Toki-bear to turn things around!

I love the name Toki sooooo cute
Alot of gliders are rehomed because people don't do enough research before getting them or they expect them to instantly love them like a dog or cat would.

Thank you!
Many of my friends think I should have named them by the rapper names I gave to them, Tupac Shugeur and Shug Knight hahaha! I tend to prefer Toki and Skwisgaar though as funny as the rapper names are.

Its a shame people don't do the research or give the gliders the time because if given the proper time a glider's love can be just as rewarding, if not more, than a cat's or dog's love.
Because a dog may run to you when you call its name....but it will never FLY to you
