Give Me Some Suggie Love ;)

Soooo this passed Monday [Dec. 4] I finally purchased my two sugar gliders! One is a male named Nugget and the female is named Lilly-Pad. They are O-so adorable,  but they are still getting used to me and my boyfriend. With these little fuzzbutts you have to have a lot of patients with them in order for them to trust you. There's so much you have to do, but you cannot force a bond between you and them. My little ones were not handled much with their previous owners. This will be Lilly-Pad's 3rd home and I think its Nugget's 3rd home as well. The first two days after I brought them home were horrible. Nugget would lunge at me and bite me.  When I looked into the cage he would jump at my face. I read in many articles that you are supposed to let them bite you because if you pull away they feel dominant over you! HAHAHA OK. They do this thing called "crabbing" when they are afraid or mad and that was all they did when my boyfriend and I went next to the cage. THANKFULLY they are doing much better now. They hardly crab now and they are beginning to trust us a little. They used to snatch their treats and run back into their tent, but now they gently take their treats and slowly go back into their tent. Just the other nights I heard one of them bark! It was the CUTEST thing. They bark for numerous different reasons: when they want their owners to go to them, when they want their cage mates to come out and play, when they are warning others of danger, etc. You can hear one bark if you go on YouTube and type in sugar glider barking. They sound like puppies!! Anyways, Nugget kind of got on my pit bulls bad side by lunging at Tine (my pit bull) when she was looking at them through the cage. My dogs wont hurt them and I wont let her hurt them, but its just going to take some time for them to get along. My pit bull is very forgiving :) I will add some pics of my furry children!
Enjoy !
