With some herons, they're the reason the habitat is lovely. Nesting colonies of herons are absolutely foul, nasty places, and the combined offal of a couple thousand herons often kills the forest where they nest. Also some of them have siblicidal offspring (they kill their own siblings), so the forest floor in heron colonies is also often littered with dead and dying babies. In suburban areas said babies also often wander out into surrounding neighborhoods and wind up dead in people's pools, yards, or in the mouths of their pets. I did fieldwork in a heron colony while I was an undergrad. It was actually awesome work, but physically about one of the nastiest places I've ever been.

Good lord I had no idea. :stare:

I now realize that my main problem in life is that I am not covered in sugar gliders.

But that also means you aren't covered in sugar glider pee. It's pretty much always on a constant drip for them (I have two of the bastards).

Sugar gliders are cute but keep in mind that they are also entirely undomesticated, wild animals. It's not like owning a rabbit or guinea pig.

They require a lot of patience. They WILL try to bite the poo poo out of your fingers at first until they've bonded and accepted you as part of their colony, especially if the breeder didn't do a good job at getting them used to handling (mine had a lovely first owner). Thankfully they're not that strong, but it stings.

They also have very specific dietary requirements. Like MikeJF said, they're not guinea pigs. You can't just toss some pellets at them and call it a day.

All that said, they're amazing if you're willing to put in the work and do things properly.

They need a lot of stimulation and are foragers. I hide all of their treats in little treasure chests and stash them in a bin full of ping pong balls and easter eggs :3:
