A while back I noticed a post for 2 female sugar gliders for sale for $300 and was quite interested. Just as I was prepared to purchase the girls need came about for me to buy a new washing machine instead.
I got a text from the owner again Tuesday asking was I still interested, which I was. Long story short, we agreed upon a price of $150 and we met and I fetched the wee possums home. They are too damned cute (and cute is a word I don't often use).
I'm getting them accustomed to my smell which is as I understand an important step in the bonding process. Their previous people were more "prepared diet" people... you know, the pellets from the pet store. I'm more "home grown" diet whenever possible for me and all my critters.
Their housing, aka "cage" is a lot smaller than I anticipated so I'll be making grander accommodations ASAP.
Also their names are "Thelma & Louise" which isn't quite my style. I prefer historical names which refer to the land the critters originally came from or my ancestral land of Ireland & Wales whenever possible.
Gliders are wee possums from Australia so anyone out there have names of legendary ladies from the land down under?
