NOTE: This did not happen to me, just sharing my experience.<P>I'll make a long story short. I am a Receptionist at an Animal Hospital, and I received a call the other day. I picked up the phone, and to my suprise the caller was from Florida. She had found our number on the internet as a Hospital that saw []http://www.sugarglider.net/ubb/images/icons/blush.gif[/] 's. Her daughter? had taken her []http://www.sugarglider.net/ubb/images/icons/blush.gif[/] to school that day, while it was there, it bit the little "troublemaker" boy. He complained about his hand hurting, like any child would I'm sure. Now the school wanted to do a rabies test on the []http://www.sugarglider.net/ubb/images/icons/blush.gif[/] . For those of you who do not know...they just don't poke the []http://www.sugarglider.net/ubb/images/icons/blush.gif[/] and return it to the owners. They actually take off it's head, send it in to a labratory, etc., to determine if it has rabies. If so, the person can get the neccessary shots...if not...the []http://www.sugarglider.net/ubb/images/icons/blush.gif[/] is dead. I did the best with the information that I had, and sent her addresses of vets in Florida. I have not heard from her again...maybe never will. Don't know if the school followed through with the test (which they have the right to do). Anyways...BE CAREFUL! If your []http://www.sugarglider.net/ubb/images/icons/blush.gif[/] bites somebody, bad things can happen.

I will take this warning to heart, since on Teusday I am presenting some of my gliders to a high school biology class as a favor to a friend. If anyone asks to hold them I'll just tell them why I won't risk it!

Is it true that gliders don't get rabbis? Therefore they do not need rabbi shots?

i'm so glad u've posted about this. Gliders should never be held by strangers, b/c u do not know how the person, or the glider will react. Furthermore, a classroom environment is too stressful for a glider.

I am sorry for what happened but I brought something to my attention. I have my own business and work at flea markets on the weekends and we travel alot. I makes me think twice about anyone petting or holding her in case she does bite someone.I think maybe I'll just keep her to myself.
