Plan for the Full Cost of Care
Prices for sugar gliders can vary, but the animal itself is only one part of the expense. Since sugar gliders are colony animals and should not be housed alone, new owners need to plan for multiple gliders, safe housing, safe toys, diet ingredients, replacement cage items, and veterinary care.
To calculate the cost of sugar glider ownership, make a list that includes the diet, replacement toys, replacement cage items, and emergency veterinary expenses.
