Is a Sugar Glider a good fit for Kattakkada?

A Sugar Glider does well in Kattakkada if the routine suits the place.

Temperament and household fit

Sugar Glider are generally Highly social, intelligent, affectionate, and wonderfully inquisitive. They are known to bond deeply with their human parents.

Match the small pet to the routine the household actually keeps, not to the one it intends to keep.
