Basic Needs Of Pet Ferrets And Sugar Gliders


Ferrets have become quite the popular pet to keep. These are furry and sociable pets that make ideal animal companions if properly handled and socialized while they are young. Ferrets are smart, quick learners and they have personalities much like dogs and cats. And like cats, they are low-maintenance pets that could be taught how to do their business in litter boxes. Ferrets like climbing and roaming so open spaces or cages with multiple levels would work best. You will also want to provide a soft spot where your ferret can sleep, such as a hammock or extra cushioning.


Sugar Gliders

Sugar gliders are nocturnal creatures. They are quite social so keep them in groups. And if a sugar glider is not exposed to enough interaction with others of their kind or their human companions, they could develop undesired habits or depression. Sugar gliders need a wire cage that has vertical space. Make sure it has multiple levels and also branches so that your pets can glide around and roam. Much like hedgehogs, sugar gliders consume insects, but as opposed to their name, avoid offering sweet treat items or too much fruit.
