They are mean as fire. lol. Some are nice and will actually fly between 2 people or cuddle up in your pocket, but when I got these, they had been neglected and didn't like people much. All they ever had was each other. They are kind of like lovebirds, in the sense that when they are partnered, if one of them dies, the other will die. These 2 guys were brothers and were very close. They eat bugs, worms, and sweet fruits like strawberries.
These guys got in a fight over something one day, and Sukari (means sweet) killed Chico. It was his ultimate fate, that he soon followed, since they don't like to live life without their partners. After Chico was killed, Sukari opened up to us a bit and didn't mind us so much, but still I guess there's no replacement for his partner, and he eventually quit eating and climbing, and died of what looked like a typical case of depression. :(
They also smelled really bad, since they weren't descented. I miss them, but wouldn't ever like to get them again. lol
They are called Sugar Gliders, if you are interested in them. |
