To the eye of an average person, there isn’t much difference between male and female sugar glider sugar bears. You can distinguish between unneutered males and females through a bald spot that are the scent glands, on the chest and head of the male that quickly gets filled when the male is neutered. Unneutered males also have a strong odor especially when they reach puberty. Both male and female sugar glider sugar bears defecate and urinate from the same place and unneutered males have a large scrotum in front of this area, through which they can be differentiated with the females. Just like kangaroos, sugar glider sugar bears are also marsupials that carry their young ones in the pouch around the female. This pouch is present in females around the area you would expect to find a belly button. Females cycle every 29 days but since there are no external manifestations, this should hardly bother you. For most pets and especially for sugar glider sugar bears, it is finally not whether you buy a male or female that really matters but the kind of bonding and training that you have undergone with your pet that finally determines the relationship between you as a pet owner and your sugar glider sugar bear.
Owners generally hold extreme views about sugar glider sugar bears, and the reason is the difference in owner behavior, not pets. If you take the time out to bond well with your pet while training it and also dealing with love with your pet, you are sure to find out how wonderful these pets really are. You will find a lot of misinformation on the internet about these animals, especially in chat rooms, so you should be careful to filter that out. In fact, most of the problems with sugar glider sugar bears today are diet and husbandry related in which pet owners unknowingly do the wrong things by listening to advice on the internet.
Make sure you only buy from a quality USDA breeder and listen to his advice on matters instead of relying on the internet.
