Sugar Gliders Süzülmek

For Sugar Glider Education

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.
It is highly recommended to neuter non-breeding (pet) males. Neutered males are less aggressive, and do not mark their territory as heavily (intact males can give off a strong odor). If you have a female glider, you won't have to worry about them having joeys.

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.
The teeth can be kept clean by having access to items like chew toys and cork bark. "Floating" or filing down the teeth is unnecessary as they do not grow.
