Sugar Glider Sugar Bear Babies 4
Sugar glider sugar bears get their name from the way they chase away their predators – by standing on their hind legs and making a loud crabbing noise like a locust. They resemble a miniature grizzly bear in the process. They use the same thing to scare away new owners as well or when the feel threatened and is a natural defense in the wild. You should remember that baby sugar glider sugar bears cannot harm you and this is only an act of intimidation.
To bond with your pet, you should deal firmly with them when they are in their act without feeling intimidated. For bonding, the first step is a right cage, ideally 18”X18”X24” for young sugar glider sugar bears. This size is shown to be ideal, enabling easy pick up of your pet. During the bonding phase, it is better to use an electric heat rock with a nesting cloth and not a hanging fleece pouch. Since the heating rock feels warm, sugar glider sugar bears like to sleep beneath it, and thus you should install it near the cage door to facilitate easy pick up. Sugar glider sugar bears bond through smell, and therefore you should rub the nesting cloth over your family and other pets.
To pick up a sleeping sugar glider sugar bear, just scoop it up along with the cloth so it feels secure, and then transfer it to your hands or a bonding pouch. If for some reason you ever have to use a hanging fleece pouch, then attach it to the cage through clips that are easy to remove, since you would like to quickly remove it before the baby awakens while picking it up. When you get your pet out of the cage, do not reach for it directly, as it will feel threatened by this and can bite your hand. Instead, just hold your pet through the pouch, fold it right back in inside out so that your sugar glider sugar bear is now in your hands.
