Meet My Sugar Glider Colony!

I would like to take the time to introduce you to my furry family, my Sugar Glider colony! I currently have four Sugar Gliders: Stella Luna, Bindi and Sheila all came from my friend, Mary Nord who is a breeder in my area. You can visit her website for more information.

Stella Luna is my two years young, White-Face female. When I first got my Stella she wasn't very friendly. She would crab endlessly, lunge and bite at me nonstop. I carried her around in her bonding pouch each day and offered her treats. I was patient and showed her love-soon she came around to be one of the sweetest gliders I have ever seen!

Bindi is my two years young, Standard Gray female. This Sugar Glider does not have a bad bone in her entire body. Since the day I first brought her home, she has NEVER bitten. She is a curious glider and prefers to be running around as opposed to being cuddled up with. She is a very social sweetheart but seems to be quite shy with people.

Sheila is my two years young, Standard Gray female. She prefers to remain a 'wild child' as we've taken to calling her. She lets people pet her but doesn't like to be held. She's not very tame or bonded but we are working with her each day so that her temperment improves a bit. She is the mother of all of the precious little babies we see here. She is mated to Bandit and they form my only breeding pair at the moment.

Bandit is my two years young, Black Beauty intact male. He was extremely protective of 'his cage' and 'his girls' when we first brought him home. However, he has formed a very special bond with me. He was surrendered to me from a family close by. He is not a rescue, he was properly cared for-they just could no longer keep him. He is mated to Sheila and they have had four perfectly healthy joeys so far! :)

These four beautiful creatures make up my Sugar Glider colony. Each unique, distinctive personality is what makes my colony truly one of a kind!
