Just gave an interview about a (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets issue. I told the news proper care. If you are local feel free to watch me on Tampa/St. Petersburg, FL news channel 10 (or CBS) at 11pm EST. I am sure that we find it afterward online. Hopefully it helps make a difference!

For the record I am not saying that everything we do is right. However it is better than what (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets is doing. I did mention other exceptable ways but I don't know what editing will do.

Editing can be brutal... but hopefully they put a positive spin on your words.
Post that link as soon as it is available!

Do you know if they interviewed anyone from (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets as well? That would make it interesting. I'm definitely going to tune in and watch.

Way to go Erin! The news interview was great. They said P-P refused an interview and the only positive thing they mentioned was that they have an A rating with the Better Business Bureau (which they only joined this year according to their web page). You made great points about the care needed. They also mentioned that vets report lots of sick gliders coming in after the mall sales weekends. Again, you did a great job of getting the message out that gliders are not super easy pets to care for. Thanks Erin.

OK, i went to CBS news & found nothing. i next went to CBS news channel 10 Florida, & they have a pet section, but nothing on gliders. could you call the station, & find out how to see it on the computer? I'm so glad to hear the interview aired well.

Thank you all SO much for your support. I just couldn't not do anything. It was killing me. I hope that I represented the glider community well.

I read the article and just watched the video. GREAT JOB, ERIN! Wow- you really got many people convinced that sugar gliders are NOT the "pet rock" of this decade! The fact that he quoted "many area vets" to back you up is excellent! I wonder how Pocket Pets got their A+ BBB rating? Last I checked, their rating was very low!
