Hi everyone! I'm currently in the desert (United States Air Force) and I've been researching sugar gliders during my 12 hour shifts.. I've found several websites that offer information about their diet and how to keep them healthy. My question is about their scent...
Some people say they smell sweet, and some say they smell like wet dogs... What is the truth? Keep in mind that you don't have to over-glorify how wonderful the little ones are because, due to my job, I couldn't keep 2 of them happy and that would really tear me up inside....
I used to have 3 ferrets and I followed all of the directions and info (washing them only when needed, cleaning their cage etc) but they still had a musky smell to them (which is normal) but they produced so much waste that it would just smell up my entire room while I was at work. I ended up giving them to my good friend and all of the little buggers are extremely happy because they have their own playroom and his wife works at home so they always have a plaything around.
Sorry for the long post (not to mention the total derailing of the topic) but I'm bored...
