How Much Will My Sugar Glider Cost Me?

The first thing you MUST avoid when you are ready to purchase your sugar glider is getting it through the internet. You absolutely CANNOT know what you are getting over the internet and what is more is that you cannot be sure if the provider is USDA licensed ( many internet providers are not). In most state it is required that you will be able to prove that you've got your joey from a USDA approved supplier.
Once you've got a certified supplier you can also rest better assured that you are paying the right price. However, this doesn't mean that it will be cheap, but hey you want a sugar glider right?
Sugar gliders come at different prices. There isn't a set price for all, but put it simply a joey can cost your anywhere between $200 and $500 for a healthy-certified glider purchased between the best adoption time of 12-15 weeks.
Before you acquire your exotic pet, you will need to purchase a cage which is NOT a bird's cage. The cage needs to be tall, not a squat cage. This type of cages will cost you around $200-300. You can shop around and see if you can find one for less, but you might find out that you will also find some that sell for more.
Your sugar glider should cost you from $400 to $800 for the pet and the cage and you can add another $50 for extra wheels, bounding pouch and other toys. This means that you should shop around. However, don't look for cheap to get a lower quality, look for cheaper for the same quality. Beware of gliders for sale and cages that are not sturdy enough and that you would need to be replaced after 6 months of purchase.
When it comes to sugar glider, there is an investment that you need to make. However, you don't have to empty your pockets to get the best tips you need to know to be the best joey parent.
I have created a guide for new sugar glider owners and you can get the intro for free just by visiting the Ultimate Sugar Glider Care Guide.
