Clothes?

As ridiculous as it sounds I have seen clothes for sugar gliders.  If I had to guess they are probably home-made by "sugie parents" or are recycled doll clothes.  I personally would not dress Tinki and Telly up because I would not want to hurt their little wing flaps.  But I will admit to having put Barbie hats on their heads with hilarious results.  Tinki and Telly also get use of some of my old Barbie and doll furniture during play-time which also produces hilarious results.



Here are some of the silly outfits/accessories that I have found on Google.

Play-Time

Along with playing with the toys inside their cage, Tinki and Telly get a healthy dose of play-time outside the cage as well.  When my sister and I take them out to let them play on the floor, we tell everyone else in the house so they know to be careful around us.  My sister and I keep a good eye on them and keep them close because it would be very easy for them to get lost due to their tiny size.  We let them run, walk, and hop around the carpeted floor, but we also actively play with them.  They love to chase our fingers as well as string.

Plastic string, like we use to play with Tinki and Telly.

All my sister and I need to do is dangle a little piece of string in front of Telly and he will chase it uninterrupted for minutes at a time.  Tinki is a little more cautious outside of the cage, but she also enjoys playing with the string.  After seeing them play with string, I am curious to know if they would be as excited to chase a laser light across the floor.

It's Never to Early for Christmas Gifts!

As the title implies this post is about some great Christmas ideas for the sugar glider and/or sugie lovers in your lives!  These products all come from Pocket Pets because I trust them with making sugar glider-safe products.



This hat is absolutely adorable and I want to get one for my sister!

These bears are super cute and brand new to the Pocket Pets website.  They come in a pack of two, which is perfect because I can give one to Tinki and one to Telly!

The bears even come in four different colors.

Pocket Pets offers a great supply of sugar glider safe toys that sugies will love to climb, swing, and play on.  This particular package of toys is the largest package that they offer and it also comes with a "Cal-C-Yum" vitamin toy so sugies can snack and play at the same time!

Lastly, I think that I want to get Tinki and Telly some "Yum-E-Treats" from Pocket Pets.  Yum-E-Treats snack mix is a mixture of dehydrated fruits and other sweets that are completely sugar glider safe.  What makes Yum-E-Treats different from similar foods that you could buy at a supermarket is that the ingredients in Yum-E-Treats are 100% Certified Organic; and do not contain Sulfur and other chemical preservatives which can be harmful to Gliders.  So far my sister and I have only given Tinki and Telly fresh fruit and plain yogurt as treats, but I think that they will appreciate (and devour) this mixture.
