Sure, you may have a pet, and you may have heard of an exotic pet before and were scared it would cost too much!

Well, I'm thinking about getting one and thankfully there is a breeder on my road who just put up signs up for some Sugar Gliders!



That my Xeogamers is a Sugar Glider. And yes, he looks adorable, and comes at a pretty fair price. However, there is a drawback to owning one, so I'll list the pros and cons here.

PROS!

1) Cute, adorable, awesome, and a very neat pet. Will be your best friend forever.

2) Food is cheap. Just buy milworms at your local petstore and some nutrian diet cubes. Only food recommended for Sugar Glider pets.

3) Cleaning your pet is out of the question. This pet does not stink and constantly cleans himself.

4) They are very VERY playful. They love attention.

CONS

1) You need to buy more than one due to it being lonely. Unless of course you spend most of your daily lifestyle with him. which is possible. Buy a pouch, Sugar Gliders love pouches. And while wearing one he can sleep in that little pouch as you walk around the house. But other than that you might want to get two.

2) The first week or so. During this time the Sugar Glider does not know you and thus will bite constantly. It's nothing flesh wounding. But it does still hurt. You need time to warm up with him.

3) The cost. Cost of owning two in my area is about 80 bucks. Food costs roughly about 40 bucks a month, and depending on your area. Vet visits are about 100 bucks a year. Give or take.

Needless to say before you want to own one of these cute guy you need to do your research.



Watch this video before you think about buying one. But arent they ADORABLE!?

I am also thinking about building me a cage to own an exotic Fennic Fox, which are tame, but the cost of owning one ranges about 400 a month and are seriously high maintenance. But the good thing for me is that they are indeed very loving animals and with a license (Which I am going to get later this year) I will own one.

I mean come on. Owning a Fox is one of the coolest things to me. Check this out!



weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee lookathimgo

Only thing is that pet is worth $600 and in my area are illegial to own without a proper license.

Do those foxes always screech constantly like that?

Sugar glider = cutest thing!

I also think ferrets are cool, but they are very high maintenance as well.

The only exotic pet that I would really really really like would be a grey wolf. Dangerous, yes, but awesome.

... I will probably just end up getting a Malamute instead though, more tame.

you forgot the other con.

Sugar Gliders, foxes, and cats that can take down a chicken are illegal in the state of georgia. In order to raise them you seriously need a permit.

Georgia Wildlife Laws

Just so you know I'm not huge on supporting the illegal harvesting of wild life. If you have a permit for it you're fine other wise... Get a permit please.

I plan on getting a permit for a hedgehog though. They're so cute.
