Male are generally more cuddly than female. While female are more active and likes to play and explore.
They do produce quite a smell if not clean frequently and they don't have the longest life span (2-3 year ) is the max
Recently I've been looking into sugar glider. Seems like they are more work than rats especially in the beginning bonding stage but once they bond with you they will stick to you like glue. Have the rough lifespan of dogs and cats and can co exist well with other animal (again you need to work on the bonding) seems interesting def worth looking into

Yep, I'm adopting 2 males. They're little cuddlers already and only 2.5 months old. We're moving soon and my future landlord okay'd it. So if I can't get my current ones to say yes, the shelter is going to watch them for me (the manager is really attached to them and demanded pictures and email updates lol). I'm so excited but having a bitch of a time finding a big enough cage for both of them
Sugar gliders are really cute, but apparently a ton of work and REALLY expensive to buy. They have a few up at the Kangaroo Zoo in Kelowna and the guy who owns them was explaining they're really high maintenance. They're so soft though...
Btw does anyone know where I can find a decent cage big enough for 2 growing rats? Looking to purchase used most likely.
