Sugar gliders (sg) are not domestic pets like cats or dogs. They are exotic pets, they live in the wild but can be kept as pets. I first had my sg in 2013 and I& #39;m so amazed by Jin when i knew that he has them as pets. They& #39;re so adorable but not so "friendly" at first
Sugar gliders are instinctively wild animal. They protect themselves from predators in the wild by "crabbing" and biting. That is also their first reaction to stranger. It means they& #39;re scared or angry.
The girl using thick gloves here to prevent her hands getting bitten and make the sg comfortable. And do you hear the crabbing sound? It is loud and provoking. Because it is meant to scare the predators away.
This is the first phase all sg keeper must been through to "tame" their sg. It took patience, time, and constant effort to make your sg know you and being comfortable with you. It also depends on the sg& #39;s character.
Their teeth are very strong. If they got to bite your fingers, you could got bleed. It& #39;s one of their weapon, and Jimin acknowledged it djskjsjsks
What amazes me is, in front of camera, Jin often portrayed as one of the "scaredy cats" but behind the camera we really know nothing about him. I& #39;m sure he also had a hard time to handle his sg at first, but he finally managed to bond well with his sg.
Look at how they& #39;re comfortable with each other

A baby sg (called "joey") is a good choice if you want to start to adopt them. They& #39;re still easier to bond with humans rather than the adult ones. Jin did his research well. By his size, I guess odengie is only 2-2.5 months old in this comeback show clip
Oh and this is the important thing. Sugar gliders can& #39;t be kept alone! They can get stressed if they& #39;re lonely. That& #39;s why Jin has 2, odeng and eomuk.
Jin provided a nice cage for odeng and eomuk. Sugar glider loves to jump. Jin went for the cage& #39;s height rather than a wide cage. Again, this man did his research well.
Sugar gliders are nocturnal. They sleep all day and they need a warm and comfort place to hide/sleep during day time. Look at how cute their sleeping pouch
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="π₯°" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts"> and the cage is very clean! Jin also provides fresh water and apple slices
As they& #39;re nocturnals, they can be very noisy and very active at night. They love to jump and play with each other. And they bark too!
Now look at Jin& #39;s room. The cage and his bed are close. I can imagine the noise he had to deal with every night

Poor Jiminie

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="π" title="Smiling face with open mouth and tightly-closed eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with open mouth and tightly-closed eyes"> this proves that odeng and eomuk has bonded so well with Jin that they consider anything other than Jin is a threat
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="π€§" title="Sneezing face" aria-label="Emoji: Sneezing face">baby Jiminnie just wants to play with you guys

Jin has this cute bonding pouch
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="π" title="Two hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Two hearts"> it is a must have for all sugar gliders keepers. This is how Jin gets bond with them, he takes them anywhere so they get familiar with his scent. Can you imagine Seokjin& #39;s scent?? Lucky babies get to near him anywhere
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="π©" title="Weary face" aria-label="Emoji: Weary face">
Yes he takes them every where.. You see how comfortable eomuk with him and just keeps roaming his body. I would do that too if i were eomuk
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="π" title="Pensive face" aria-label="Emoji: Pensive face"> Jin is his safe place

Jiminnie gets his turn to play! https://twitter.com/jmnloop/status/1199118740958449665/video/1">https://twitter.com/jmnloop/s...
Jin does not forget to let his sugar gliders having fun!
Jin loves his gummy bears that& #39;s why he understands how odeng and eomuk loves dried mealworms as snacks
I feel a bit emotional seeing this again. Odeng and eomuk happily play with each other while their daddy recording them. Can you imagine the love Seokjin has for them? How much happiness they give to Jin?
"kal kal kal" is the way Jin& #39;s imitated his babies crabbing sound
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="π€£" title="Rolling on the floor laughing" aria-label="Emoji: Rolling on the floor laughing"> he knows them to the bits
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="π₯°" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts">
The blood runs in the family
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="π₯Ί" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face"> this proves that Jin& #39;s mom is also fond of animals and Jin did a great job to "introduce" his sg to his beloved persons. Jin also aware that for his pet& #39;s well being, he has to make people understand his pet& #39;s needs. What a great father!

And bathing a sugar glider is never easy
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="π
" title="Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat"> they& #39;ll leave you with scratches on your skin afterwards, and since they& #39;re small and strong they can easily escape from your grip. But i guess odeng is so get used to jin& #39;s mom bathing him that he enjoys it
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="π₯Ί" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">
Jin& #39;s dad also cannot resist the cuteness!
And this is gukmul. Gukmul is white leucistic sugar glider, so pretty! From what we heard, gukmul lives with jin& #39;s mom now (cmiiw!). Tbh i really don& #39;t know who& #39;s prettier in this pics! I bet you can& #39;t tell either

My heart would get melt too https://twitter.com/ktaebwi_613/status/1037278467132256257?s=19">https://twitter.com/ktaebwi_6...
Imagine his happiness seeing them after a long tiring day
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="π₯°" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts">
Sometimes they got angry when their beauty sleep got interupted
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="π" title="Smiling face with open mouth and tightly-closed eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with open mouth and tightly-closed eyes"> don& #39;t be sad Jinnie..
Jin was worried at first to show his sg. You can tell that he& #39;s so thoughtful, not just for his eomuk, odeng, or gukmul. But for other animals as well. He& #39;s the only man you could trust your life with
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="π€§" title="Sneezing face" aria-label="Emoji: Sneezing face">
You can see Jimin& #39;s and Jungkook& #39;s uwu exploding by looking at odeng. Jin& #39;s sugar gliders bring happiness to our bangtan
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="π₯Ί" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">
Same Jimin, same. And you& #39;re so cute too, you also could make armys dieee Jimin!

Tbh i get emotional making this thread cause I& #39;m a crybaby and i miss my sgs. I had to give them to other sg adopters so they can have a proper environment since i moved to a smaller house
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="π₯" title="Disappointed but relieved face" aria-label="Emoji: Disappointed but relieved face"> they breed fast and surely needs more spacious cage.
We knew that odeng and eomuk already passed away joining jjangu to the rainbow paradise. There are things we can control and we can& #39;t. Let& #39;s say thank you to them for giving pure love and happiness into Jin& #39;s life. It maybe a short journey but the love is eternal!
