Are sugar gliders legal in the state of Michigan

and are they good to have as pets? are they tamed?

Yes, I'm pretty sure they are legal in Michigan. I live in Michigan, and many pet stores by me carry sugar gliders. Commercial petstores as well. Commercial pet stores, such as Petco and Petsmart, ocan only sell legal animals, obviously. If you are still uncertain, try contacting the Michigan legislature, or someone who works with the law, such as your local representative. I'm sure they would be happy to tell you if they are legal in our state.

"Sugar Gliders make excellent pets. They adapt very readily to captivity

and can develop very strong relationships with their human keepers. They

are small in size, are very intelligent and love to play. They are much

smarter than a hamster or rat and have a much longer life-span, most

living to be 10 or older if taken care of properly. Although nocturnal, I

found this to be a benefit, in that they want to play in the evening, which

is the only time I'm really home. Most gliders, if handled well and given

time, learn their owner(s) scent(s) and have absolutely no fear of them.

In fact, they love human attention. For me, the first attraction was that

they are just darn cute. The second was the strong bonds that they develop

with their owners." Source: www.faqs.com

"Every bonding experience is slightly different, because owners and sugar gliders have their own unique personalities, needs, and behaviors. Bonding is a PROCESS, not an event. Creating a bond between owner and sugar glider can take either a few days to accomplish, or it can take several months, depending upon: (1) how much time and effort you devote, and (2) the age and history of the sugar glider. So keep these tips in mind.
