Sugar Glider Insurance Alternative

Sugar gliders can live 8 to 10 years; some have even lived into their late teens.  They are not always the low-maintenance pet that many people assume; they have some health conditions that may require them to see your vet. They will need all the care and attention, just like with any other pet that you have.  Before you bring a sugar glider home, make sure that you can provide a clean and comfortable housing area for your new pet. While sugar gliders will want some time to themselves, they're also social creatures that benefit from plenty of exercises, enrichment activities, and social interaction.

If you ever take your sugar glider out of their cage, it is best to make sure that you provide them a safe place to play. Your sugar glider and quickly and easily fit into some of the smallest places causing harm to themselves. While your Sugar glider depends on you for good health, you can depend on Pet Assure to cover the costs associated with providing high-quality veterinary care.

Common Medical Issues Seen in Sugar Gliders

Pet Assure provides financial protection against a wide range of Sugar Glider health conditions. Some of these include:

  • Eye issues: Sugar gliders have small bulging eyes. This can cause them to have trauma to their eyes leading to an infection. If you notice any discharge from your Sugar glider's eye, it would be best for your vet to see your sugar glider. They can prescribe medication to help clear the infection.
  • Dental infections: Sugar gliders can have teeth infections. They can get infected teeth as they get older. This can lead to you needing to have one of your sugar glider's teeth removed. 
  • Tumors: Sugar gliders are prone to developing tumors. Many times these tumors are cancerous and may even need surgery to remove them.
