how cold can they get?
Since Sugar Gliders are native to rainforests, they naturally enjoy a warm environment - and the general rule of thumb is: “if you're cold - they're cold”.
Sugar Gliders are EXTREMELY intelligent little animals, and will always seek out some sort of “heat source” if they get cold.
For example, since most homes keep their thermostats set in the mid-to-low 70's, we always include a “heat rock” as a part of the cage setup that comes WITH every baby we sell (see free report on "keeping healthy" for more info). This heat rock acts like a “furnace” in their house, and you just leave it plugged in all the time. Since they're not rodents, they won't typically chew on the chord, and if they ever happen to get cold while in their cage, they'll just “snuggle-up” close to it.
Now, whenever they're outside of their cage, a fully-bonded Sugar Glider will almost ALWAYS be “hanging out” somewhere on your body. Since their natural body temperature is 89 degrees Fahrenheit - and ours is 98 degrees Fahrenheit - we are basically just one big “heater” to them.
Therefore, if they ever get cold they will just climb inside your shirt or pocket and use YOUR body heat to stay warm. They are just EXTREMELY intelligent little animals, and they make excellent year-round companions in almost any climate.
