Sugar gliders are extremely popular small pets kept as exotic pets. These active and adorable animals can make lovable and unique pets, as long as you take into considerations all the aspects of having an exotic pet. Sugar gliders have special needs to be maintained that other animals don’t need. They can’t survive in cold weather and they require a great amount of enrichment to support their natural behaviors. On top of that, sugar gliders also get sick, just like all other animals do. In this article, I will discuss sugar glider health issues including viral infections, dehydration, dentition problems and more. Do Sugar Gliders Get Fleas? What are the types of Sugar Gliders? There are two types of Sugar Gliders, the Northern and the Southern. The Northern has gray colored fur and a white nose, and the Southern is brown without a white nose. Both species have black eyes. The colors for each of these animals may vary depending on where they came from in their habitat. The northern Sugar glider is larger than its southern counterpart, measuring about 10 inches with a full grown weight of about 10 ounces. Everyone knows the important role of picking a pet, and even more so it’s important to be informed about their health. Unfortunately for pets, this requires the pet owner to combine their love for animals with their ability to delve into pet-related informational sources. In other words, it takes work. It takes a lot of work, but it is what true pet owners do. So we can imagine the difficulty in taking care of your sugar gliders as well as keeping up to date with it’s health conditions! If you’ve ever owned a pet, you had to deal with fleas. At times, it’s possible that you’ve had to deal with fleas more than any other animal. I know dogs and cats have their own problems with pests, but they just don’t seem as bad as fleas can get!
Can Sugar Gliders Get Fleas
I know that you are curious to know the answer of this question. So do not waste your time and get right into it.
When you hear the word “sugar glider,” what do you think of? If your mind went to possums or flying squirrels, then I’m sorry to tell you: sugar gliders are not those things. Sugar gliders are marsupials, which means they have pouches and look similar to kangaroos and koalas. They aren’t the same as flying squirrels either; those cute little nocturnal creatures fly from tree to tree and use their large tails as parachutes when they fall out of trees (which happens often). Sugar gliders are small and adorable animals that move around at night looking for food because they don’t eat during the day like other wild animals do.
Sugar gliders can be quite friendly once they get used to humans but it takes time for them to feel comfortable around people—so don’t expect too much from him/her right away!
