How good are they as pets? Are they smelly??

Were you sad when your hamster passed on 3 years after caring for it? Fret not as a sugar glider’s average life span is 12 to 15 years, which is just as long as a dog. Do you know what else is similar to a dog? A sugar glider is as smart as a dog, meaning it can learn its name and even do a few tricks. The plus side about a sugar glider not being from the rodent family is that it isn’t as smelly as a rodent when fed properly. Ever had a mouse bite your furniture? Worry not as the sugar glider does not have the tendency to chew on things.
