Two of the most common mistakes that can be fatal to sugar gliders, according to veterinarian David Brust:
1️⃣ accidental dehydration
2️⃣ accidental toxicity poisoning from tap water.
In this reel, Dr. Brust shares more about choosing safe water sources for your glider and why that's so important.
As small as sugar gliders are, it's crucial to keep them hydrated. A few signs of dehydration:
➡️ low energy
➡️ low appetite
➡️ "wobbly" movement/lack of balance
➡️ loose skin (pull up on the skin between the glider's shoulder blades to see if it stays up or goes down slowly)
If you notice these — the last one, especially — it's a good idea to call your vet.
For day-to-day hydration needs, we carry a water bottle made specifically for sugar gliders. It's just the right size, BPA-free, inexpensive, and really cute.

Trying to potty train your Sugar Gliders? Well, there's good news and bad news.
Both are included in this reel. Even if gliders can't technically be toilet trained, they keep it cleaner than a lot of pets on the potty front.
"Accidents" do happen. (And we do stock glider diapers in the Pocket Pets online store for travel/etc.)

If your Sugar Glider develops a bald spot, don't feel like you have to start shopping for little hats. (Or do, because that's adorable.)
It's a normal part of development for intact/unneutered male Sugar Gliders. (More info included in this Reel.)
For those who adopted through Pocket Pets, your boys will have already been altered, so they shouldn't develop this spot.

Should I Feed My Sugar Gliders Meal Worms?
Experts find that mealworms and other insects aren't an ideal meal for Sugar Gliders, since they're primarily fat and provide little to no nutrition. Offering insects as a primary diet or even a regular treat can lead to obesity, dental issues and other maladies.
The better alternative? A consistent diet of Glide-R-Chow. It's made to give these animals what they need, nutritionally and otherwise.
Pocket Pets Glide-R-Chow, specifically, was made through extensive testing and input from veterinarians and nutritionists. It delivers a Sugar Glider's nutritional needs WITHOUT causing them to develop that musky, funky odor.
If you're not already feeding it to your Sugar Gliders, we hope you'll try it. Check the comments for an easy link to the online store.
