Was at the mall and there was a crowd around one kiosk showing off 'Pocket Pets' Have you seen this? Little marsupials (like a kangaroo) that live for

about 12-15 years and can glide about 150 feet. Selling for $500 a piece.

My first thought was I don't want anything flying free in the house that can poop and pee anywhere at anytime.

Also known as 'sugar gliders.' (www.mbsun.com)

I've got a pocket pet in my pocket right now. -- nm - Max Aug 27, 13:19 3
- I'm not paying you $500 for that -- nm - oblique Aug 27, 13:22
- I don't believe you. -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 13:19
- you should probably leave it on for a bit. - groiny Aug 27, 13:19
it's a pretty bad idea to sell them like that. tons of people will get them that have no idea what they are in for. (they are cute though!) -- nm - Andie Aug 27, 13:16 2
- yeah, not sure what kind of pet they would make. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 13:17
- this, too. In most cases it's kind of cruel. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 13:16
I think sugar gliders are very cute, but they wouldn't last a day in my house. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 13:16 12
- FYI: They do not taste like sugar. -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 13:17 11
  - I don't think my cats would care what it tasted like, they would just bat it around and play with it until it died. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 13:18 10
    - it would be like having a bat for a pet. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 13:19 8
      - bats can fly. sugar gliders can't fly, they can only glide. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 13:20 7
        
        Exactly. - Spawn Aug 27, 13:21 3
        
        they are quite good at gliding directly into the mouth of cats -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 13:35 2
        
        This is like a Sylvester/Tweety segment. -- nm - HdnAgnda Aug 27, 13:38 1
        
        yes, but tweety wasn't a sugar glider. If tweety was a sugar glider, those segments would be much shorter. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 13:40
        
        can't glide very far in my hose. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 13:21 2
        
        Dude, that's f***ed up. -- nm - Richard Gere Aug 27, 13:28 1
        
        Lemmiwinks! -- nm - HdnAgnda Aug 27, 13:39
    - Oh... your cats. - Spawn Aug 27, 13:19
