A lot of people that have bought sugar gliders home have no idea what to do next... What will be their next step? Do you know what will be yours?
Try to see through your sugar glider's eyes. Everything is new to you and you've never seen these people or place before. You are even a little bit scared. You've been taken away from your home and put in a situation that is completely unknown to you.
While you have this in mind, try to come up with the best thing to do. I always suggest putting your sugar glider into its new home for a day or so, just to get used and calm down. What's happening during that period is that your sugar glider is becoming familiar to the new place and new smells that it haven't seen/smelled before.
Feeding your sugar glider with some treats that they really enjoy eating (like grapes, nuts etc.) is a good idea, since they will associate good feeling not only with the food that you are feeding them but also with your face.
Decide who will be the leader for the cockatiel. Then let only that person carry sugar glider for the next couple of days. After those few days have passed it's okay to introduce suggie to the other family members. Just take it slow and don't force things. Once your sugar glider is feeling safe with you and your family members the bonding process has begun.
Sugar gliders just love people and you will see that they are amazing pets as soon as it gets used to the new surroundings. Even though sugar gliders will mostly stay around their main care taker, they will also love to spend some time with other people that they are used to.
Just remember that sugar gliders are very sociable creatures and if you neglect them for some time they might get depressed or even angry. So be sure to have some quality time with your sugar glider and don't waste any opportunity to work with them.
Soon the most interesting thing will happen, your sugar glider will start coming to you just to play or cuddle. Sugar gliders might react just like dogs when you come back and come alive as soon as they see your face. And even though they love to be handled, make sure you are very careful while you do so.
