How will I know what a good sugar glider breeder looks like?
I am a sugar glider breeder and a lot of the new owners that come to me say I stand out from others because I am picky to whom I sell my sugar gliders too and I give a lot of information. I have a packet I have compiled for all new owners so I make sure they have the correct info regarding proper sugar glider care. I also send them home with a lot of sample stuff like vitamins,calcium and treats. I will not sell a single sugar glider joey to someone unless they already have a sugar glider. I always make sure my joeys I sell will be going to a home with another cage mate. When looking for a good breeder you want to make sure that they are willing to answer all your questions. Its also a good sign if they ask questions about you, which shows they have concern about what sort of home their glider will be. While I have a USDA license, there are many small scale breeders who do not have them, which is perfectly fine and not a reason to all together rule them out. You do not need a license unless you have more than 3 breeding females. Starting prices for standard sugar gliders can range fro $200-250 depending on where you live. I live in houston, tx where sugar gliders are more common so the prices can be as low as $100 for standard grays depending on the seller. First of all though, you will need 2 sugar gliders. Sugar gliders do not do well alone and thrive on company. Secondly, sugar gliders are typically not recommended for young people due to their nature and expense.
