Older, mature children under the strict supervision of their parents is acceptable. I have never told anyone that I will guarantee a bond between young children or babies with sugar gliders. Sugar gliders are not recommended for very young children. The efforts will be well worth it in the end, and I will be here to help you any way that I can throughout this process. No matter how much I work with joeys in my home, you will be a stranger to them, and you will need to work with them on your end daily to form your own trust bond with them. There is a lot to the initial bonding process with your sugar gliders. If you follow my advice on the right diet, you should avoid costly vet issues with health down the road.

I can teach you how to continue with this diet to make sure we can help them live to their full potential. We have come a long way from the original “cat-food” diets fed to these amazing creatures. I would say that the proof is in the pudding. With advent of the newer, higher protein diets such as Wombaroo, their life-spans have greatly increased to 10 to 12 years and even more. Back then, we would tell people gliders in our homes could have a lifespan of 5 to 8 years or more. Some are still talked about in books you may find published in the 1990’s, and some websites still reference them. When I first started with gliders in 1997, there were only a handful of diets available to us. I can direct you to the places in which you can purchase the True Australian Diet with peace of mind. At this time, there is no laws governing animal food as closely, so we must be very careful about what we feed our sugar gliders. I can also supply you with this diet as well in my store, to make sure you are receiving one of the best diets out there for sugar gliders.Īs with all things, there are several copy cat versions out there made in the USA that are filled with an FDA drug banned for human use due to its proven ability to cause cancer and other ailments. My facility has used this upgraded American version nearly 15 years. The needs of our pets and breeders will vary from the recused wild animals of Australia that will be released back into captivity. This diet has kept many gliders happy and healthy in the States for a very long time. Many years ago, an exotics veterinarian in this country tweaked it a bit from the original version by adding eggs, honey, bee pollen and water for the needs of our breeding and pet gliders in captivity. You are also receiving joeys that are weaned onto a tried and true diet in which the base is imported from Australia and has been in service with rescuers there for close to 40 years. I have also taken in some rescue gliders and worked to tame them, hopefully to find them new homes.
I am licensed by the USDA to breed and sell gliders. Of course the favorite color is the standard sugar glider. I have several different colors of sugar gliders available. Then, sadly, they have to get rid of their precious animal. I do believe many people buy gliders only to find out that they require a lot of attention and care. I am not the only site with good information. If you are looking to own a sugar glider for the first time, please research, research, research. If I do not have the answer for you, I will find someone that does. I have conducted extensive research on sugar gliders but I do not know everything. I want you to be the most informed customer out there. I was given a male and female sugar glider by my grandmother, and I have been obsessed with them ever since.įirst and foremost, my focus is to keep you informed of the proper care of sugar gliders. I am a USDA Licensed Breeder of sugar gliders who lives in a town called Red Oak, just south of Rhode Island. My name is Patricia Campbell, founder of the Sugar Glider Family Inc.
