When dealing with exotic animals, it is
always best to be prepared for any emergency that may come up and need
treated right away. However, always follow-up with a good and
knowledgeable vet. This could save your little glider's life. Here is a
list of items to start your "sugar glider emergency kit". All items
should be placed in a sealed and marked container. Please place your
