Sugar Glider

[Libby]

I'm a little angry at the breeder I'm suppose to get the glider from. I don't think I will get a glider from him now. The female is only about 9-10 months old and I just found out she's pregnant. They were suppose to be waiting until she was a year old before breeding her. From reading about breeding sugar gliders it doesn't sound good. First off at 9-10 months Lilly, the mother, is still growing herself. Not to mention she runs a high risk of rejecting her babies, eating them, birth defects, and hind leg paralysis for the mother. Most say it's better to wait until the female is 12-18 months old.

this site is not making me think very highly of Lilly and Joey's owners. I do know they are first time breeders but nothing makes me angrier than people who start to breed any animal without reading up on the do's and don't of breeding that animal. It's one thing if it's an accident but another if it's done on purpose like these people have done. I feel so sorry for Lilly and the position she has be put in. To add to the fact that they expect me to pay $150. Full price for a sugar glider that, if it survives, could potentially have health problems down the road.

Does any of this make since to anyone? I just keep praying she's older than they think she is.
