Experience
I have owned Sugar Gliders for many years now, and though I only breed them as a hobby I have done extensive research on their peculiarities.
As a hobby breeder I spend a large amount of time with each of the gliders I own.. We have some of the most affectionate Gliders I have personally ever seen due in part to the time and dedication our family puts into their care. I study them nightly & have come to learn so much about them.
I also aid in the private rescue of unwanted gliders in my state & have successfully rehabilitated many of them, enabling them to be placed into new homes.
Education/Credentials
I am a former Surgical Veterinarian Technician & have extensive exotic, wild & domestic animal experience in my background.
