Sugar Glider Sugar Bear Buying 1

 

It is of utmost importance that you buy your sugar glider sugar bear from someone holding a valid USDA License, as their breeding is strictly regulated on a federal level to promote the health and welfare of sugar glider sugar bears. You must therefore avoid buying your sugar glider sugar bear off the internet as most are illegal breeders. You should then ask to hold up the adults, as most breeders won’t allow strangers to hold babies. These should be well trained and easy to handle, and reflect on the efficiency of the breeder. If you see animals on leashes or zipped up in pouches, avoid that breeder. Since you will need help from your breeder later on too, make sure they are professional and passionate about sugar glider sugar bears. The ongoing support should be of a high quality with educational programs and guidance.

 

Also, the customer service should be quick to respond to questions or possible emergencies. Your breeder should also give you a written health guarantee. In addition, he should give a 2-3 day free replacement period if your sugar glider sugar bear dies for any reason, and the best breeders give a longer paid replacement period. Male babies should come neutered. The ideal age of adoption is 8-12 weeks out of the pouch, when they are ready for bonding. It is rare to find sugar glider sugar bears on the spot for sale since they breed so slowly, so you might have to order them and pay upfront. The huge illegal underground business of sugar glider sugar bears flourishes and they want customers, so it has been a technique to slander all the reputable breeders around so that you buy from them. Therefore you cannot trust the information you find on some internet chatrooms or message boards. You will do well not to fall for this trap of theirs and follow the tips presented here.
