When dealing with exotic animals, it is always best to
be prepared for any emergency that may come up and need treated right
away. However, always follow-up with a good and knowledgeable vet. This
could save your little glider's life. Here is a list of items to start
your "sugar glider emergency kit". All items should be placed in a
sealed and marked container. Please place your "sugar glider emergency
kit" in an easy to reach and find area.
