Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
actually im tryn' to get rid of mine. i have 2 (both girls, rockey and marcey) and they make awesome pets. i just have too many animals and im fixin' to move. so if your interested talk to me some more. their free. They live up to 20 years!!!

i have one(her name is dakota). basically i just told my mom that i would pay for it. i bought a book about them and let her read it. they're not as much of a big deal to take care of as the books say. they live for a really long time so tell her that she wont be left with the responsibility after you move away and be true to your promise. they're really social animals and are fun to have. my sugar glider and my mom have become office buddies.(we have the cage in our office) but my dad and her just cant seem to become friends. lol. but anyway i think the most costly thing is buying fresh fruits and vegetables for them. dont try to convince your mom that you're ready for a pet by buying a gold fish because they die easily. maybe start with a hamster. thats what i did and she said that when the hamster died then i could get a sugar glider. and just to my luck the hamster lived 5yrs! which made my wait so much longer but it gave me extra time to save up for a cage and accessories. GOOD LUCK!

Maybe if you print out a copy of Information of the Sugar glider, your mom will understand better. heres a site: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
talk to your mom and tell her, you are 13 years old and you want this, and she should trust you to be able to handle this. also remember to tell her that you think you are old enough to handle this kind of resposiblity.
I hope I helped!
Good luck!

Well, I didn't know what you were talking about but when I looked them up I can definitely see why you want one!
The page I read says they are clean and inexpensive to care for. Have you mentioned this to her?
Have you tried to print the information you have researched so she could read on them herself?
But something to consider in this is do you live somewhere that allows pets?
Here is the site I checked out (and maybe you already have too), but I say the way you should try to approach this is to print all of this information and give it to your mom.
