Normally at a first glance, it is difficult for an average person to distinguish between male and female sugar glider sugar bears. However, unneutered males have bald spots, which are scent glands on their head and chest, but these quickly get filled during neutering. Unneutered males also have a strong odor used to mark their territory especially during puberty. Males and females can be distinguished through the presence of a large scrotum in males in front of the cloaca, which is the place through which both males and females urinate and defecate.
Sugar glider sugar bears are marsupials, which mean that the mother carries the young one around in a pouch, just like in kangaroos. Therefore the females have a pouch to carry their young, which is present just where you would expect the belly button. Female sugar glider sugar bears cycle every 29 days, but because there are no external manifestations, there is nothing you would notice.
With pets in general and sugar glider sugar bears in specific, it is not about whether you buy a male or female, but about the bonding, love and training that you undertake with your pet that actually makes the difference. You will find pet owners having extreme views about sugar glider sugar bears due to this very reason it is not the sugar glider sugar bears but the owners who differ in their approach. You are bound to find out just how wonderful these little creatures are if you can take the time out to bond well with them and maintain a loving relationship with your pet. A lot of information you read online just isn’t true, and in fact most of the problems that pet owners encounter with their sugar glider sugar bears are related to improper diet and husbandry practices that they unintentionally undertook after looking at advice posted in chat rooms and other unauthentic websites.
You should buy your pet from a qualified USDA breeder, who will also help you out in raising your pet the best way.
