Among domesticated Sugar Gliders, the most common presentations faced by practitioners can be traced back to poor diet and husbandry. Typically, this is the result of owners subscribing to inadequate homemade diets and outdated husbandry practices derived from internet websites or lay literature.
In the last decade, very little practical information has been available to practitioners regarding Sugar Glider husbandry and diet. This is despite the fact that a wide range of significant advances have been employed by numerous professional breeders for many years - with consistent success.
The most significant guidance practitioners can offer to Sugar Glider owners pertains to diet and husbandry issues. The goal of this section is to provide practitioners with practical strategies/techniques for raising healthy Sugar Gliders - which have proven over time to be both safe and effective.
New research studies regarding these animals are regularly being undertaken via grants from the Association of Sugar Glider Veterinarians™. As such, this text is continually updated. |
