Reviews from people who have bought this book:

5 stars. if looking for information - great book!
Saw article on sugar gliders - wanted more info - this is a great book!

3 stars. Sugar Gliders Pet Book
This is a professionally done work with excellent writing, lots of pictures and illustrations, and a thorough index. However, it is dated, that is to say that this is a re-publishing of a work originally done well over a decade ago, and it does show in places. The amount of information on every aspect of sugar gliders is well worth the price, but it would be nice if the author or publisher updated the volume and included some guidelines and suggestions for websites and the information (some not valid) about sugar gliders (aka sugar bears) available on the web, including cautions about misinformation too.

4 stars. Fun, easy, informative read
I read this book in about two hours from cover to cover just the other day. This book left out some details about meal preparation that I've been taught from other sources (owners, websites, etc.) to do. I talked to a friend of mine to confirm the details about that meal stuff. Specifically about how if you don't plan to breed, using the protein supplements instead having crickets or egg all of the time is fine. br /That is the only thing preventing this book from receiving a 5 star rating from me. br /You can tell the author really cares for her animals and had a lot of fun writing the book. I would highly reccomend this book to anyone interested in getting a glider although this should not be your only source. Talk to someone who has owned them before who has no stake in selling you one so they'll give you the straight talk. br / br /EDIT: Just realized this book looks to have first been published in 1997 so that is why it does not go over the dry glider food, which is apparently a more recent advancement. Still highly reccomended because as I said before you should never have just one source.

5 stars. excellent resource
My children both wanted Sugar Gliders and based on Amazon book recommendations, I bought the book. Both children are reading it. It is easy to read, full of good information even if some is out of date, and will help us make the decision about whether a sugar glider is the right pet (s) for us.

5 stars. Great Book
this is a really great book to know more on suggs they go into detail about what is good for them and what is not. I would recommend this book if your thinking about owning a sugg or even if you already have them, the more information the better,
