Traveling with sugar bears
How are they with TRAVELING? Can I leave them home alone for several days at a time?
Because they become loving members of the family SO quickly, many people actually prefer to travel with their Gliders. Compared to almost any other household pet like a cat or dog - Sugar Gliders tend to be excellent companions when traveling. This is largely due to their small size - and the fact that their travel cage and supplies don't take up a lot of space. Like traveling with any animal, you just want to be responsible and call ahead to make sure that your destination (ie. hotel, etc..) allows pets. :-)
If you are going to be away from home for a few days - and can't take your little one(s) with you - the best thing to do is just take your cage over to a friend's house. Being very social animals, they will enjoy having other people around - and since they are relatively simple to care for, (and don't “stink” like hamsters or gerbils), most “babysitters” won't mind having them in their house for a few days. :-)
