Sugar Glider Sugar Bear Buying 4

You must absolutely make sure that the seller of your sugar glider sugar bear is a holder of a valid USDA License. This is to ensure health and well being of your sugar glider sugar bear as this is federally regulated. Make sure you meet the breeder, have a look at their USDA license and never be tempted to buy over the internet. Hold the breeder’s adult sugar glider sugar bears yourself, as they don’t generally allow holding the babies. These adult sugar glider sugar bears should tell you how your pet will be in the future, so they should be absolutely friendly and easy to handle. If they are not, or if they are restrained in any way, avoid that breeder. You will need your breeder’s advice lots of times, so the breeder should be passionate and professional.

 

After buying your sugar glider sugar bear, your breeder should provide you with prompt support and educational programs for you and also have a great customer service for emergencies and other questions. As an owner, you should make sure your sugar glider sugar bear has a written health guarantee which your breeder gives you. In addition, he should give you a 2-3 day replacement period in the rare case that your pet dies. The best breeders give you an extended paid replacement period as well.

 

Good breeders neuter the male sugar glider sugar bears free of cost before selling. You bond best with your sugar glider sugar bear when it is 8-12 weeks out of the pouch, and therefore you should purchase it then. Your sugar glider sugar bears breed very slowly, which means they are seldom ready for pick up on the spot. You will generally have to pay upfront. The illegal market for sugar glider sugar bears tries to slander the really reputable and great breeders out there by posting in some message boards and chatrooms, and so you should not trust these sources of information to make your decision of the breeder.
