lebowski · #1 07/20/2007, 10:40 AM

I'm looking to purchase a sugar glider, and I just can't find one around here..

Anyone know of a breeder? Anyone here a breeder?

Please help!

Thanks

Hi,

I have a pair. The female may be pregnant. I have only had them a few months but they have great personalities. They were quite....um....friendly...with each other when I put them together. That has stopped completely. So I think she is probably pregnant. Send me a pm..... so I can contact you if I get babies. Will probably be 3 months though.

I used to have a flying squirrel. Great pet! I wonder what the differences in personality would be like.

The lee watson reptile swap which is now at dupage county fairgrounds.. someone may have more info but there is a breeder there that sells them.

Thanks

FYI Those thinks are cool but the cage you have to put them in gets to smellin real bad...quickly.

this is true.....and i believe you shouldn't put newspaper in with them cuz they eat it up and get poisoned by the ink....well...i think that's what happened to mine

I agree.. stinky little animals..

I had one when they were first available and were considered "extremely exotic" mine didn't live very long they hadn't figured out the right diet for them or anything yet...

Well, then, they are a lot different from flying squirrels in that regard. Flying Squirrels are very clean.
