Subject: can you..

Question
can you have a sugar glider and a guinea pig instead of 2 sugar gliders together?

Answer
Dear Taylor:

It's really not a good idea to keep rodents and sugar gliders together in the same cage.  They have different dietary and habitat needs.  Sugar gliders are very social animals and should be kept in pairs with their own kind.  Sugar gliders can also be aggressive, even toward each other.  I think it would be a mistake to keep one with a guinea pig.

Best of luck.

Laurie
