For some reason my computer is not going to the bottom of the screen so I can't see everything everyone is saying. Where did the kangaroo come from? And we were thinking of getting a couple of sugar gliders. Would they be a good pet. We have 4 kids the sugar glider would be mine of corse I am not trusting it to my little kids but will it hurt them if wondering around the house?

mine has made a preaty good pet.BUT she is deffinatly a one person animal, she will tolerate others but you can tell who she loves. also there tails look like they can use them like an oposom(sp) but they cant if you pull on there tail it comes off and little kids seem to have a fasination with it so they want to play with it, not a very good idea. anotherthing is they are social animals so thye concider you to be in there family and they mark on you. it smells just discusting, and they o it all the time. our suger gliders cage is next to the flying sq. and she get very jelious and will shoot her senting stuff out ov the cage and them the carpet smells like that nasty. but other than that they make good pets

im not sure if the males do it, i have a girl but the males have like a little bald spot of the top of there heads and they rub it on you. the girls do that to but it isnt a scent gland(i think).

hahaha i forgot something, they live in holes in trees during the day.
well when i got tinkerbell (suger glider) i was like 8 or 9 so my mother kept her during tyhe day in a pouch in her shirt like this ( )II( ) and randomly throughout the day she would roll over/scratch/movearound etc... and you would see her shirt move and i can not tell you how many looks she got for it. people were fasinated with it. i dont think most people carry them with them but one thing that kills alot of them is they will spend a ton of time with them when they first get them and then as time goes on the keep them in the cage and let them be... well they are social animals and have taken you as there family so they grieve theselfs to death, they kind of self mudilate(sp) they dig at ther bellies until there is a hole and just keep going its very sad. i have a few friends that have had them and them left them alone and them die

the female sugar gliders seem to be more agressive than the males. they are more difficult to tame. most sugargliders sould only be handled by one person, they will recognse the person by scent, and may bite anyone that they dont know. untame gliders can also bite and should be tame when small.
the pouch where they are kept should be rubbed with the owners scent(like sweat from your neck or face)when they are being tamed or trained. that will help the glider to identify his owner.
just some info on sugar gliders(the one we have doesnt know me and tries to bite when i stick my hand in
)

They are from New Guinea. They are a secret though, so don't tell anyone.

Just a joke. It's just that they aren't very well known for some wierd reason. They are the best looking birds I've ever seen and talk/sing as well as the famous african greys (best talking parrots in the world).

Here are my normal looking pets with unusual behavior
The hound is named Petunia, the weimer/lab is named Lefty, and the scarlet is named Maya. They're all adopted critters and they're insane, but that's why we like them so much.

found this guy in Ocean City in the 'reject tank'. Bought him cause my mom hates these things with a passion let alone a baseball sized one. Grown pretty attached to it over the past 3 years. Always rearranges its cage however it feels like it. Named him fluffy after the cat in mouse trap and cause of his abnormal amount of leg hair.
...Not for the reef to say the least...

FOR THE PEOPLE WITH HEDGEHOGS: if you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay for your hedgehog, and how much extra was it to buy everything else you needed (like cage, food, woodchips)
