A [Bitter]sweet Pet?

Just what is America's latest exotic pet craze?

I recently found out on my recent trip to Florida that it's the sugar glider.

I had to look it up too.

Talk about a bad pet choice.

Sorry, Chinchillas...you've gone the way of acid washed jeans and Trapper Keepers, having been replaced by smelly and chirpy marsupials.

As far as I can tell, this tiny animal has all the drawbacks of owning a pet rabbit, bird, chameleon, and snake all in one.
They should sell it with a bottle of cyanide.
Either that or this lady is a Chinchilla breeder burned by the market when sugar gliders hit the stage.

Catie's friend had a sugar glider and it made their house smell like somebody died.

You have to clean out their cages every two days?!?

I think nature creates certain animals just to see if man will give a futile attempt to domesticate them.
