Familiar examples include salmonellosis, ringworm, rabies and plague. In the last decade, public attention has focused on the potential transmission of diseases such as salmonellosis from reptiles to their owners. Less attention and risk are associated with small animals compared to imported reptiles. However, sometimes pet owners wonder if they can catch a disease from a pet such as a hamster or rat. A host of potential pathogens including bacteria, internal parasites and fungi can be transmitted between animals and people, although no parasitic protozoan diseases are likely to be acquired by pet owners from small animals.

Sugar Gliders have a thin membrane that stretches from their wrists to their ankles. This allows them to glide from branch to branch like the American Flying Squirrel. They use their tails as a rudder while they travel and gather insects in flight. Their gliding distances have been documented up to 150 feet! Sugar Gliders make wonderful pets for the young and the young at heart! They adapt well to humans and develop strong relational bonds with their owners. They are communal animals that need and crave attention from you, the owner, or another Sugar Glider. How close your newly adopted pet bonds to you will depend on the time you spend together.

Sugar Glider FAQ (3/4) - Care & Maintenance rec.pets Subject Sugar Glider FAQ (3/4) care Maintenance Date Mon, Housing sugar gliders is relatively easy and, being clean animals, http://www.faqs.org/faqs/pets/sugar-gliders/part3/
Extractions: Help others by sharing your knowledge From: Timothy.L.Hussey.2@nd.edu (Tim Hussey) Newsgroups: rec.pets Subject: (3.1) What type of housing do Sugar Gliders require? Housing sugar gliders is relatively easy and, being clean animals, require relatively low maintenance. The cage, preferably, should be made of nothing smaller than 1" X .5" welded wire (so babies can't escape). A wire cage is practically a necessity, in order to give them plenty to climb around on. Many bird cages on the market today work great, but making your own may give you more space and be cheaper. The cage should be no smaller than 20" X 20" X 20". My cage is round 24" in diameter and 38" tall and easily accommodates my two gliders. Subject: (3.2) What do Sugar Gliders need to climb/play on? One requirement is the presence of live fruit tree branches. These serve two purposes first, they provide a natural environment for gliders to climb and keep their teeth healthy. Being arboreal, sugar gliders absolutely need branches to climb around on to be physical fit. Plus, it fun to watch them run around they are extremely coordinated and excellent climbers. Secondly, like other small animals, glider teeth never stop growing and they need something to gnaw on. However, unlike hamsters and bunnies, gliders won't touch anything artificial they want the real thing. The best thing to use are wild apple and sassafras branches. I have also been told that oak tree branches will also work. However, whatever you use DO NOT USE ANY BRANCH THAT HAS BEEN SPRAYED WITH PESTICIDES. In the wild, gliders chew the bark off trees looking for insects and sap, so the branches will keep them occupied while your not around.

Extractions: Iguanas and hedgehogs and skunks, oh, my! Those critters and other exotic species make up about 9 percent of the American pet population, an American Pet Product Manufacturers Association survey says. But do they really make good pets? Before taking on an unusual pet, be sure to read up on its environmental and care needs. When such pets develop veterinary or behavioral problems, says Tampa veterinarian Teresa Lightfoot, it usually has something to do with their care. ``It's important for caretakers to be very knowledgeable about the animals native environment and attempt to mimic that in captivity,'' says Lightfoot, who is board certified in avian species. She also sees a variety of exotic species at Florida Veterinary Specialists in Tampa. Some exotics become ``fad pets'' that are popular for 10 to 15 years. Recent examples include potbellied pigs, sugar gliders, prairie dogs and hedgehogs. Not all of the more popular exotics make good companions in captivity.
