The Truth About Sugar Glider Mill Breeders

This section of our website will discuss the mill breeders and brokers that go around selling sugar gliders at home and garden shows, state fairs, malls, flea markets, pet stores, etc. Much of the information presented holds true for all of the breeders/brokers you see perpetuating sugar gliders as “perfect pocket pets” for anyone. We have to be careful not to bad-talk any specific companies engaging in these activities or specifically calling out a company as being a glider mill, as they are notorious for suing anyone who speaks the truth about them. The bottom line here is DO NOT purchase a sugar glider on impulse at a trade show, fair, mall, etc. Many of the same problems hold true for pet stores as well.  Do not purchase a sugar glider from a pet store.  Be informed and DO YOUR RESEARCH. If you believe that sugar gliders may be a good pet for you, we recommend you to purchase them from a responsible breeder (unless you are intentionally looking to do a rescue). If you have already purchased from a glider mill or pet store, it may not be too late to turn things around. You can start now with making informed decisions and taking proper care of your new sugar glider(s).
