Sugar Glider Sugar Bear Glider Rescues 5

 

Sugar glider sugar bears are increasing in popularity day by day and this has caused an old scam to resurface on the internet. The so called rescues are aimed at good meaning animal lovers and claims that they are trying to find a home for sugar glider sugar bears that have been abandoned by their pet owners. This is far from the truth, as you can easily find out by simply calling an animal shelter and verifying the veracity of these outrageous claims. The truth is, most animal shelters have never seen a sugar glider sugar bear; forget about the overflow of abandoned sugar glider sugar bears as claimed by these scams. The breeding of these animals is federally regulated through USDA and you should not break any regulations while searching for your pet.

 

There are three primary ways in which these scams work – claim they are private owners and want to find a home for their new baby sugar glider sugar bears, pretend to be a small breeder beyond the scope of USDA or pose as an operant of a sugar glider sugar bear rescue that finds homes for abandoned sugar glider sugar bears through animal lovers like yourself. Make no mistake, these scams have a great story to tell and can emotionally appeal to you, while also having a dedicated information source like a website, but you should take care never to fall for these. It is never a good idea to buy a pet off the internet, as you can never know if the pet has any problems and you cannot really get that first impression of interaction between you and your pet. In case of sugar glider sugar bears, many sellers on the internet sell you those animals that have never been bonded to humans or that cannot breed due to their age.

 

A good way to help sugar glider sugar bears would be to enlist on the adoption list at your animal shelter or having your Vet join Association of Sugar glider sugar bear Veterinarians, which is free to join for Vets and provides free adoption for abandoned sugar glider sugar bears.
