I received an e-mail from Cascade stating the cost is $195 to nueter and they use the laser method.

Hello all, I'm from River Falls Wisconsin(just on the other side of the river from woodbury). Just curious to know if anyone knows of any breeders in my neck of the woods. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Well, I am about 50 min from you. Not sure on anyone on the Wisconsin side. But I have a small colony of gliders and two of my girls have joeys IP.

Nice to meet ya by the way!

yea I went to como and it was about $200. If you are looking for a good vet como animal hospital is good but spendy. I am also trying to find my 3 suggies a new home due to new living arangments that were highly unexpected I am asking $50 for the three and all supplies pm me if interested

Hi Im 30 min North of St.Paul and have 2 cute suggies.

I am from Winona and currently live in Duluth and am the proud owner of two gliders, Anansi and Loki...

im in sw minneapolis. going to pick up 3 suggies on sunday. and for anyone that wants to know, there is a place called eagle pet store in shakopee that says they have gliders about every month and a half. they had flying squirrels when i went there. the place was filthy so, so make sure the suggies are healthy.

I'm from St.Paul.

WELCOME!!

Always looking for some new Minnesotan glider lovers out there!

This is a great place to meet people and share in the glideritis.

Would love to hear about your babies and pics are fun as well!!!

Just checking back in here since I have officially moved to Oakdale, MN--even though I'll always be a "Valley Girl" at heart. Just wondering how many of the Minnesota members listed in this thread are still active?

Yep, still active!

Gotta love Minnesota winters - especially this year!

Hey I'm from Oakdale as well! And I'm new to gliders, does anyone know if Twin Cities Reptiles still sells them?

Hey everyone!!

My name is Anna..I am from the St. Cloud area...about an hour and a half north of the cities. Smack dab in the middle of the state..yay!!

I currently am Gliderless but hope to get one as soon as I get an apartment or even shortly after. Mostly just pricing one out at this point.

cinc0009, great to know of someone else living in this tiny strip of land we call Oakdale! I believe Twin Cities Reptiles does still sell them, but doesn't always have them in the store.

Yeah, I went there the other day. They had one female for $250, standard gray. No Thanks! For that price, I'd rather ship them in from Priscilla, plus the diet they had her on looked like parrot food with a few grapes.

Hi, all! I'm still exploring the forums here, will probably never see everything. I am in SW Suburbs (Chaska). I have had my babies for about 2.5 weeks now...I have an appointment with Cedar Pet Clinic tomorrow (already been to the Emergency Animal Clinic in St. Paul)...so, hopefully everything checks out with my little ones!

Hi I live in Edina, Minnesota and im going to get a boy and a girl in May!(cant wait)anyone have any tips on getting babies to stop bitting and crabbing?

Just follow any bonding tips you find! My girl is still VERY crabby & still bites sometimes...but I'm working on it with Tent Time...etc...

OK, so I just realized I never added myself to this list! I am in Lake city, 15 miles south of Redwing!

Hey all I'm in Lakeville, not so far from the cities. I'm looking for 1 preferably male sugar glider, lol yes it seems to be "tough luck!" for us Minnesotans, anyways, if anyone has any babies, or otherwise youngsters available please do let me know!

Hey! Just thought I'd add myself to the Minnesota list
I'm in St. Paul and doing my research before buying my suggies.

~Heidi~

Hi Heidi!

I am south of you near Redwing, I am actually in Lake city. If I can help you in a any way let me know! There are some really cool Mn people on this forum, Suggie delight, and Usha to name a few. This site is so awesome, you'll learn so much here! Good Luck on your venture!

Hello.
My name is Lindsey and I live in Walker on Leech Lake.

I didn't think there were so many people from Minnesota here.
=)

Hello, Lindsey! Sure is a warm one out today, huh?

I'm wondering how many Minnesota people are still active on here and if there'd be enough to have a MN get together some day...

I would so be down for a MN get together! My hubby Nate and I live in Arden Hills, which is just north of the cities by Roseville, Shoreview, New Brighton and Columbia Heights (we're practically neighbors, Justine!). Our vet is Dr. Keith Hedges at Brighton Veterinary Clinic in, you guessed it, New Brighton. It was $80 apiece to neuter Pirate Steve and Lil' Ninja and the vet tech who assisted actually had seven of his own, most of which were neutered there as well. We got them from this breeder: http://www.terrispettingzoo.com/zoo/index.php and I have to say, all of the animals they have are sooo freakishly friendly. Even our lil crab butt Lil' Ninja came around within two months. Now he's just cranky if you startle him.

Hey, how many Minnesotans are planning on going to the Midwest get-together in Michigan? I was considering going, if only to get some awesome toys and pouches for my guys.

Is your clinic listed in the vet data base? I wonder if that's any closer to me than my clinic...either way, that's a much cheaper price for neutering!! How long ago were they neutered? Do you know what method they used? Does that price include everything like the take-home meds?? Sorry, I just really need to get my Lan neutered ASAP & Tas done before mid-July!

And do you mean the SGGA? That's the end of July, right? I wish I could go...but I've got a family vacation to Colorado that week...

I do mean the SGGA; I was too lazy to look up the exact initials. Then I realized that it wasn't limited to the midwest at all and there were two separate events, one of which had already occurred. But yeah, the big SGGA is what I mean.

I couldn't find my vet on the database here, but it's Dr. Keith Hedges at Brighton Veterinary Hospital located at: 2615 Mississippi Street, New Brighton, MN 55112. The phone number is: (651) 636-1063. He specializes in bird and exotic care and our breeder recommended him to us. I don't think he used the most advanced techniques (I had a panic attack every time I thought about the guys having surgery, so hubby Nate arranged everything) because, despite Nate's assurances to me (grrrrrr), Dr.Hedges did wind up removing the poms and didn't advise pain meds as a necessary precaution, although I'm sure he would have given some if Nate had asked. Next suggies we have neutered, I will be working up my courage so that I can be more involved in the process and hook him up with a vet that can consult with him on more recent methods for glider vet care. He's pretty open to that sort of thing, but if he doesn't go for it, I will probably just take them to one of the other area vets.

The guys were neutered recently, in the first week of May, and did just fine. The first night, they just slept and the second, they wanted to play with each other but were cranky with us. Luckily they forgave us pretty quickly and Pirate wound up curled up asleep in my shirt and Ninja curled up on Nate's neck by about midnight. Now they are just as sweet as ever with us, but less territorial with each other. Hope that helps.

Yeah, thanks! I'll probably just stick with my vet, since he's seen Lan so many times already (recheck on the tail amputation)...did you have to seperate the boys afterwards so they wouldn't groom each other or anything?

I didn't want to separate them because I was worried that it might stress them and actually, staying together seemed to keep them pretty content. It really only was the first and second nights that there was anything different in their demeanor at all. Now it's as if nothing ever happened. They're resilient little boogers and I can only think that it helped them to have each other after the surgery.

Figure I'll chime in here so you guys don't feel like you're the only "Minnesotans" here! I live in Oakdale with the gliders and haven't even been patrolling the boards here for the past few months (just started a new overnight job and wanted to adjust without the care of the fur/quill kids suffering). But here I am once again after a fun time with the gliders out of their cage. Tonight, I got to watch two gliders trying to shimmy up a rope from opposite directions and get confused when they met in the middle, a silly little glider that decided to curl up for a quick bit of R and R in an empty drinking glass and have the tippy top of my head reclaimed as the best place in the world to look around from. It never gets old, does it?
