Rocky and Bullwinkle

About a month ago Karl lost his marbles, I mean fell in love with 2 little sugar gliders and brought home the newest additions to the family. (Apparently my fault too since I did not stop him.) They are about 3 months old now and are bonding with us fairly well. They have not activated any prey urges in the cats or the dog which seems miraculous to me, but according to some websites they will bond with animals as well as people. Sadly they are illegal in some states. We are enjoying working with them each night to get them used to us and tamer. Rocky does not bite us as much anymore. She likes to taste her environment though. Bullwinkle is sweet and mellow. He will curl up and snooze anytime. He is the ultimate couch potato. Karl loves to carry them around in his shirt or pants pockets. Or the back or his polo shirt.





Rocky is really curious and will jump on all sorts of things to explore the house.












More fun pictures to come!

Sugar gliders are marsupials. They are Australian. They don't need to be feed insects. They are messy eaters, and fairly playful. They live 12-15 years. They are nocturnal.
