Sugar Glider Sugar Bear Glider Rescues 2

 

One common scam on the internet related to sugar glider sugar bears is glider rescues, which has gotten a makeover now due to the increasing popularity of these pets. These scams claim that there are so many sugar glider sugar bears abandoned by their owners in animal shelters and as an animal lover, you should take care of them, and they sell them to you at a lesser price. One easy way to bring out this scam is simply to call up your nearest animal shelter and verify these outrageous claims. It is true that most animal shelters just never get any sugar glider sugar bears and abandoning sugar glider sugar bears is extremely rare.

 

Sugar glider sugar bear breeding is federally regulated under USDA and you should keep away from such fake sellers who want to avoid this regulation. There are three main ways in which these conmen trick unsuspecting potential pet owners into buying sugar glider sugar bears from them – by pretending to be pet owners who want to find the right home for the babies of their pets, by posing as small time breeders who apparently do not fall under USDA jurisdiction or by operating as glider rescues who dupe you into believing that you are only adopting unwanted sugar glider sugar bears.

 

These illegal operations are huge and may have a great story with a professional and dedicated website, but you should be careful. It is always better never to buy a pet off the internet as you can never examine it first hand. Generally the sugar glider sugar bears that these illegal traders sell are those that are never bonded to humans or that are too old to breed and make a profit for these sellers. If you are really serious about helping sugar glider sugar bears, list yourself at an animal shelter and though it is extremely rare, you might get a call sometime.

 

In addition, you can also have your Vet join the Association of Sugar glider sugar bear Veterinarians that is a legitimate organization and free to join for Vets that provides adoption for unwanted animals.
