hi guys... this is my first post in the Sugar Glider thread... so please bare with me if i asked lots of noob questions...
well... my wife just bought a sugar glider yesterday from a seller... a male one...
according to the seller the D.O.B. is 24th April... so it is 2.5 months now... i hope the joeys is not too young...
i've been reading some guidelines in the first page of this thread... its a lot of info to swallow at one time...
my questions are...
1) where can i buy the cage like in the pic in the first thread... i tried to search in the pet store thread but couldnt find it...
the seller did provide the cage but it is a small one and the space seems not enough for the sugar glider...
also... where can i buy the accessories for it?
2) we plan to get another sugar glider as the pair for our sugar glider... ive read dat there are a few considerations to take note...
such as male adult didnt get along well with other male adult and also might harm other younger female...
so... 2.5 months is it consider adult? if not... what is the age dat is consider adult?
if we are going to get another sugar glider... wat are the sifus recommendation... is it male or female?
3) the seller did mention dat we are not suppose to give food/fruits from the fridge to the sugar glider... is it true? coz i read in other website it is ok to give food/fruits from the fridge to the sugar glider...
4) the seller also mention dat to get bonding... put some honey on our fingertip and let the sugar glider lick it... then i read in other website... it said honey is not recommended... which is true? can sifus here help me on this?
5) do we need to clean the sugar glider? the seller provide shampoo as well... actually the shampoo is to soften the rabbit/hamster fur... can we use it on the sugar glider?
Below is the details of our sugar glider... (can u update the post in the first page...

Name: Momo (male)
D.O.B.: 28th April 2010
D.O.A.: 10th July 2010
