Good starter book
This is a nice basic book I can share with my granddaughters as we embark on our own sugar glider journey. BUT-I must amend something right away-they can definitely be stinky if you have a male and a female-especially if there is breeding activity! And if we didnโt have the luxury of 2 closed doors and some space between our rooms-theyโd wake us up frequently through the night with their playing and barking. I have a male and a female, and his need to mark his territory has been a daily battle for me to keep the odor under sufficient control, and everyoneโs experiences are different-but I now know from people Iโve met who breed that this is very common. Gliders personalities also differ just as much as cats and dogs do too, and most books fail to tell you that your glider experience may be as different as night and day to what you read. Itโs a pretty book, and itโs nice to have at least one reference book to put my hands on!

Great for a Basic Reference
Good basic information book for glider owners. Most information can be found online from different sources but this was helpful to have it all in one place. There was a really helpful table that has difference foods and their phosphorus vs calcium ratios which has to be monitored with gliders. If you found this helpful please click that you did below. Thank you :)

The Author is NOT an Expert, just a fan of the animals
I just bought and read this book, cover to cover, and it is good, but not great. The author loves sugar gliders and shares some useful information. However, people (like me) who are considering buying sugar gliders need to know what the real expert has to say. Dr. David M. Brust, DVM, president of the Association of Sugar Gliders Veterinarians; [...] has a whole series of free videos. Dr. Brust's videos are also available on You Tube. The main differences between this book and the recommendations of Dr. Brust are the diet, and the best housing for the animals. Dr. Brust wrote the book, Sugar Gliders: A Complete Veterinarian Care Guide. Unfortunately, his book was written for veterinarians who must learn how to treat these little animals after people read books by novices like the author of this book. I hope Dr. Brust will write a book for the general public, but for now, at least there are videos to learn from, and the transcripts of the videos can be printed from the ASGV website.

Awesome!!!
This book is so informative. Great buy for new glider owners :) If you are serious about learning everything possible the way I was I would still suggest researching further because everyone says different things. I found a lot of great links online... just google sugar glider information. This book is so great to have when I have friends come over. They ask me what a sugar glider is and I just hand them the book lol. Happy Gliding!!!!

Comprehensive book with correct information
Good book. Comprehensive and suggests the correct diets for sugar gliders. In comparison, many websites suggest unbalanced diets, which is frustrating when the dietary needs of sugar gliders have been well established.
