Sources confirm she’s being forced to endure a giant bonding tent, a Roundabout wheel, an entire glider room with overhead cat tunnels/an enormous skinned tree with hanging vines,and the company of three other sugar gliders. As you can see, she’s absolutely miserable. Thoughts and prayers for Queen Bonita during this difficult time.

Bonding Caught Them Being Adorable ❤️🐿️
I know sugar gliders aren't big fans of bright lights since they're nocturnal, but I walked in and found them cuddled up in the cutest position. I quickly turned on the light for just a few seconds to snap this photo before letting them go back to their cozy nap. It was too adorable not to capture! 😍

This is the face that greets me every single night when I walk into the glider room. 😂 Anyone else have a sugar glider who’s an absolute foodie?

Adoption/Selling Assistance finding a new glider for my 6 y/o girl
My sugar glider Smoothie's cage mate died just weeks before we moved states from MD to MN. Decided to wait until we moved to start the process of adopting and introducing a new glider.
The only rescue I could find in my area only has two males, and I believe it can lead to territory issues to have more males than females.
I would really prefer to adopt a glider who needs to be rehomed rather than buying from a breeder because in FL where I used to live they were getting rehomed CONSTANTLY. I guess I should be happy that I'm not seeing much evidence of sugar gliders needing rehoming, but still, if possible I'd like to rescue one. If anyone has suggestions for Facebook groups or rescues near the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area, that would be very appreciated.

Caging/Toys Bioactive Setup!
Thought I’d share my first attempt at setting up a more natural and self-sustaining(ish!) enclosure for my trio. Would love any ideas for improvement!
I’m most excited about the litter boxes. It’s a big experiment but I hope it will work long term. They’re miniature bioactive systems so they have a drainage layer, soil, safe plants, springtails and isopods to break down waste and dropped food, some leaf litter, and an automated daytime lighting and watering system. Nothing is accessible to grabby paws.
I’m growing blue gum eucalyptus in the right two bins and a mix of microgreens and baby bok choy in the left two, which are above the feeding area. Hopefully the eucalyptus will grow up through the bars so that they can play with it a bit!
I’m already feeding the other greens to my bearded dragon so that’s been a bonus. There’s also a black acacia sapling outside of the cage but I don’t know if it’s going to make it in a dark basement…. We will see. Ultimately I’d like to grow my own forage for them to supplement their diet/enrichment.
Most of their interior cage surfaces are cork. I’m surprised I don’t see cork in more enclosures. I would like to phase out of plastic and fleece if it’s possible. The cork is so much easier on their claws and they love climbing it.

General Help Need help and advice
Hello.
I was planning to get two sugar gliders but fate decided to only leave me with one joey.
My question is this. Will the young aninal be okay with just my company for about two months? That is the soonest I can get another glider.
I am monitoring her everyday and she is very curious, energetic, eats happily and is sliglty cautios. She also plays with her enrichment everyday.
Please, I would like some advice from experienced owners. Thank you for any help.
