Georgi and Graci
Georgi and Graci came to live with us about 4 months ago from a rescue situation. A pair of sweet gliders, Georgi is very laid back and calm, a real "gentle-soul", whereas Graci is scrappy and fussy. It took awhile and alot of work to get her to stop biting. They have been a welcome, enjoyable addition to my glider family. This page is a dedication to Graci, who was diagnosed with kidney disease on 9/17/2001. Graci is a sad but prime example of how poor diets can be fatal to the Sugar Glider.

Graci at her sweetest
Want a sweet glider to pose for you? Give her her favorite treat, a mealie! Graci was a little over weight when we got her, but has since slimmed down quite a bit.

Georgi
Such a laid back boy! He's just a little camera shy, but a very sweet glider. |

More treats!
Mom is their best friend as long as crickets and mealies are around! |

Graci loves her lickey treats!
Good licky treats are low-fat, no-fat yogurts and sweet, fruity baby foods such as Hawaian Delite or Fruit Medley. These are faves in our house. Want to make a friend of your glider? Lickey treats are a wonderful way to start.

Georgi 'n Graci's home.
This cage is 6ft tall, 3 foot wide and 2 ft deep. We have added a Wodent Wheel to it at the bottom for more exercise. Note the net stretched across the cage lower to the bottom. This is a safeguard for gliders slipping and falling to the bottom. Safety nets have saved my gliders from nasty falls a few times. You get the idea of a good-sized glider cage. With sugar gliders, you can never get "too" big, bigger is always better for these critters. |
