where do they potty?
Contrary to what some people believe, Sugar Gliders cannot “technically” be potty-trained. HOWEVER, the good news is that they are extremely clean and VERY predictable little animals.
For example, even as little babies, they instinctually will never want to poop or pee where they sleep. This means that they will almost never go to the bathroom when they are in your pockets (unless of course they can't get out, and have an “accident” :-)
As they grow older, they will often spend 8-12 hours a day going everywhere with you - and about every 3-4 hours they will usually have to go to the bathroom. Essentially, they're not all that different from humans - in that when we wake up from a long nap - the first thing we usually do is go to the bathroom...
Likewise, when they wake up and come out of your pocket every 3-4 hours to “check things out”, simply hold them over a tissue or sink, and let them “do their thing” (normally 2-3 little hard drops of poop and a few drops of pee). Once they're done, you're usually all set for the next 3-4 hours.
