Hi all,

If all goes well me and my girlfriend will have our first Sugar Glider pair this winter. On that note does anyone have any top tips or advice for keeping sugar gliders during our "lovely" British winter time?

That's the tricky bit!  A lot of people tend to keep reptiles too, so a reptile room is ideal as they're generally warm.  Otherwise I put an oil radiator next to the cage, a pouch on the same side as the radiator and one on the other side and one in the middle and they have a warm side, a cool side and an inbetween  Smiley.  I also tend to increase their food, keeping warm uses energy and if they run out of energy that is when the real problems begin!
