Veterinary care is important for sugar gliders, though it may be surprising since they do not need vaccines, flea/tick prevention, or suffer from many common pet ailments. Health checks (which many recommend be done on a yearly basis), fecal tests, neuterings, and emergencies are reasons why gliders see the doctor. |

It is important to keep a close eye on your gliders as an abnormality in behavior could mean the presence of infirmity. Gliders mask illness very well (a survival tactic); when something is present, it is usually in a more serious stage when noticed. |

Sugar gliders also do a good job of keeping themselves clean. They groom themselves (much like cats) and do not need regular brushing or bathing like some animals. In fact, it is not a good idea to bathe sugar gliders. Spot cleaning with a warm, damp, cloth can be done if necessary. Dry baths are another alternative. |
