Can I keep more than one in a cage ?

Social BehaviorsSugar gliders are very social creatures and love to be part of a group. They will usually get along with any other sugar gliders. Two or more females or males work well, but if you put mix the two genders this could very easily result in offspring. Use caution when first introducing new sugar gliders to each other. Watch them carefully just to make sure they get along before you leave them totally unsupervised. As a general rule, sugar gliders and other pets do not mix. They should definitely be kept away from large birds and housed in completely different rooms. This is because birds are their natural predators and will stress them out if kept around them. Watch out for dogs and cats as well - some of them may think they are play toys or food. Even if they seem to get along fine, make sure to still supervise them when they are together outside of the cage. Sugar gliders and other exotic pets such as flying squirrels should NOT be kept together. They will stress each other out and may kill each other. Young children should have supervision when playing with these pets, as sugar gliders need to be handled gently and require a lot of patience.
