Do not buy gliders from a breeder that suggests using harmful devices around
gliders. For example, heat rocks are dangerous and not at all appropriate for
sugar gliders, and yet this
website fully endorses heat rocks, even extolling their virtues.
If the breeder tells you caring for a glider is "easy" do not buy from that
breeder.
If a breeder sells several different species of exotics without having the
proper staff to take care of each and every animal according to their needs, do
not buy from this breeder.
If the breeder will not let you inspect the facility, do not buy a glider
from that breeder.
If the glider is being sold singly for less than $100, do not buy it from
that breeder. A healthy glider from a loving home should be sold for no
less than $100.
If the breeder suggests a pelleted diet as the main form of nutrition, do not
buy the glider from that breeder.(Click here for an
example. )
If a website refers to gliders as a "product", "livestock" or that they sell
for the "pet trade", do NOT buy from that breeder. (Click here for an
example. )
If a breeder houses glider pairs in cruel housing conditions, do not buy from
that breeder.
There are wonderful glider colonizer's out there who prefer to think of
adding a glider to your family as an adoption process, rather than a sale.
