I saw the absolute cutest little exotic animal this weekend.. it was a Sugar Glider and they look like little bush babies with big eyes.... they have membranes almost like wings and they can jump ( glide ) for many feet in the wild. In captivity they can jump about 5-6 feet.

The man selling them had them trained to jump from the top of the cage to his shirt and then open his shirt pocket and climb in! They were so cute! I want one.. but they are not cheap = $175 and they recommend having two (ouch!) so I'll probably stick with my black lab although I can't train him to jump into my pocket!

Has anyone else ever seen one of these cuties?
