Read Part I

Seems a little quiet here in NY!! Im in the Rochester area and rescued my first glider about a month ago! I've heard that Story Book farm in Victor is good with suggies. I went to Fairport for my first visit,but the original Doctor who had experience left due to illness...I wasn't too impressed with the lady there...

I'm going back to school to become a vet. Tech, so it would be awesome to find a vet who sees suggies so I can get some medical experience with them too!

Hope to hear from some locals soon!

It a little far for you but Dr Don Factor at West End vet in Newburgh NY is AMAZING with the gliders. I've been taking my gliders to him for years! and he also teaches the vet students about exotics.

Does anyone know a vet towards Long Island?

what part of long island. I know that a drive from one side to the other is a LOONNNGG trip

I found the veterinary medical center of long island.. its in West Islip, NY

They seem to be an AWESOME choice. they are 24 hours but have a regular vet and they specialize in avian and exotics..

Long Island Veterinary clinic in Islip website

here's another

advanced avian and exotics veterinary
its in White Plains, Bedford Hills, and NYC

thanks for the info....our vet just moved out of state

I am a New Yorker... Saratoga Springs! New mom to 2 suggies!!

I'm live in Herkimer County ( blah)

From Nassau County, NY.

WELCOME to GliderCENTRAL!!! Please take the time to visit our forums, where you will find tons of wonderful information and get to know us here!
Good Luck with finding your babies!!!

Hi my name is Danielle. I live in Batavia, NY.

I'm from Long Beach, NY and looking for my first sugar glider(s) preferably female.

Hi Long Beach......Amityville here....welcome to glider central, you will find a great source of information here as well as an amazing community.....after researching these amazing creatures, if you think they are still right for you, then you can start to check out the classified or rescue links above.....however, be prepared to answer tons of questions before bringing glider into your life

Not sure why I never posted here... so I'm doing it now!

I'm from Albany, NY and have lived here almost all my life. I've also been looking for a good sugar glider knowledgeable vet in my area but haven't had any luck yet (found one that would look at them, but really doesn't know much, and even admitted it). Anybody out my way know of one?

I'm in Troy. Also looking for a glider vet in my area.

HI all I'm in Solvay, NY. I have not had any luck finding a vet that will accept sugar gliders. Any suggestions?

Another closey. 0.o Have you tried these guys yet?
http://www.mattydaleah.com/home/
They told me that a basic check-up for 1 sug is $32 and it's appointment only. I haven't been there yet so I dunno how they are...

i'm near Niagara Falls & we have 2 excellent vets here within a 30 min drive so i am very lucky..its pretty sparce where u guys are so gl finding some1 good,,,try asking glidergirl1513 from here...shes in Rochester.. maybe she knows some1 out your way

Hey I'm in Rochester, NY at the moment and will be moving near Binghamton in September! Still looking for my first couple sugar gliders.

I seem to have found a breeder named Dawn who lives in Buffalo, NY. If not Buffalo, it's Rochester. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone in the area has purchased from her or if you can tell me if she is a reputable breeder. Thanks!

Mike-I have spent a lot of time talking to Dawn as she is interested in two of my girls.....she seems very caring and knowledgeable about her gliders.....and it sounds like her guys are spoiled rotten......She is also a member here which is one of the first things I look for in anyone interested in obtaining a glider from me.....

Awesome. That's good to hear. Thanks Elizabeth and/or Bill!

Hi all. I'm in the Ithaca area, and just got my first glider a couple weeks ago, with a second one coming in a week and a half.

Hi Mark! Welcome! I'm in Rochester, then to Endicott soon. I hope everything is going well with your gliders. You've found a great reference for everything sugar gliders.

Hi Mike! It looks like we registered on the same day. Yes, I've already learned a lot from reading through posts here, and got some good advice already on the bonding process. I hope your move goes well.

I grew up in East Meadow (Nassau County, L.I., NY)

Pat

Mike...it's Elizabeth.....Bill hardly ever comes on here and as per the rules....he has to say when it is him.,......lol....Pat.....I worked at the Nassau County Med Center for over 9 years and loved my little apt in East meadow.....

Hi all...

I was just surfing around. Imagine my surprise to see Mike recently moved to my town! Near enough, anyway. I'm outside Endicott, but my hubby's store is in town.

Welcome to the area.

Anyone else from the Southern Tier?

Rejoicing in the day,
-Mary

Nope, but I do play a volleyball tournament in the Southern Tier every year. And I have family in the area.

Western New York - Got my first 2 in Virginia Beach.

- Buju & Edison "Eddie" (3 1/2yrs old mating pair)
- Foxy lil Lulu (2yrs old) is expecting*
- Scoop & Davey* ( 3yr old Brothers )Davey is daddy^
- Secret ( Buju & Eddie's first joey )
- Lazy Bones Jone & ______ (Buju's 2 OOP boys)

I did my homework prior to adopting Gliders, I'm far from perfect but I know of vets/food venders in WNY area along with Care and bonding.

hi everyone in new york i'm in the elmira/corning area town called big flats we have had our suger glider for almost three weeks now (little roo)

Hi!
Syracuse here!! I got my girls in August. Love em' to death!!
Michelle

Hi!
I am trying the vet in Mattydale next week. I can let you know how it goes!
Michelle

Buffalo area. Up to 5 suggies now! Wow, they grow up so quickly. Just got 3 of my 4 males fixed. vet was cheap and nooo complications. Love my little guys to death. Took off work since early October to spend as much time as possible with them!!

I'm hoping to move to Elmira next year.

Rochester Ny here. Moved here about a year ago from Arizona (lived there for 2 years) and moved to Arizona from Long island born and raised there.

Rescued my first suggies in Arizona and brought them with me and now have many more :-)
There are a few vets in my area that treat gliders. Cats and critters is one of the main ones but is WAYYY over priced. They charge upwards of 300.00+ per male for neuter. vet visits (just walking in the door) costs 50.00.

Cornell University treats gliders and their neuter is about 105 per glider and there are a few closer to me.

One day I took 2-3 hours and took a phone book and wrote a list of all vets in the area and called them all to see who treats gliders and how much the neuter is at each vet.

It's so cool to find so many of you right in my backyard. :-)

Really? They quoted me $150 for a neuter. Do you know of any other ones in the area? Other than Story Book Farm - I can't stand them there.

Hi all! I'm in Brooklyn, NY. I'm actually hoping to find another suggie lover to babysit my boys while we're away. Does anyone live in the NYC area? I'd love to chat! Thanks!

hey everyone! I'm in Binghamton Just adopted my first suggie a few days ago and looking for any good resources/vets around the area.. or even getting to know people!

Hi Sharona. I'm in the Ithaca area, and just got my first two gliders several months ago. If you have trouble finding vets in Binghamton and don't mind an hour's drive, the Companion Animal Hospital here at Cornell University handles gliders, as part of their exotic pets department. Mine received their initial exams and neutering, and I was quite happy with their service. The exam and neutering was a flat rate of $100.

Have fun with your new suggie!

Hey Stevie - Gliders are illegal in Brooklyn - you might not want to advertise where you are from.

Wow, had no idea there were so many from NY on here. I'm from solvay/syracuse area myself but am in buffalo half of the year.

hi and welcome you will love it here also i'm in the making of a glider gathering in aug i found a place to hold it finally can i add you to the list

Good evening fellow New Yorkers. I'm a newbie here. I currently live in Greenville, NY, a small town about 30 miles south of Albany on Route 32, just north of the Catskill Mountains. I moved here two years ago from a suburb of Albany County when I married for the second time around.

I am so glad to have found this message board. It's so good to get info and read stories from real people in real time.

At this time, I don't have a glider but hopefully by late spring or early summer the time will be right, and I will seriously consider adopting a rescued glider. I'll check back on this board often to see if anybody within a reasonable distance (up to 200 miles or so) has a glider in need.

Hey I am in Bergen County, NJ. I'd love to meet up with some of you. I have been hoping to get gliders for a while now and I attended the NorthEast and Beyond gathering last year but it was hard for me to tell if I had a mild allergic reaction to the gliders. I have a lot of animal allergies so I'd like to test myself a few more times before I commit to being a glider momma. If I could meet up with some of you that would be awesome! Please PM me if you are in northern NJ or NYC or Rockland county, NY.

Hello all I'm in the bronx ;) I saw there was a vet in white plains that's cool. I'm going to school to be a vet tech so hopefully whereever I go to work, ill see if we can introduce exotics

Hello stevie! I live in the bronx

[censored], i just looked it up and both species i wanted sugar gliders and ferrets are illegal in the 5 boroughs. it sucks but in all reality it makes sense. i dont know where ill be in the future, maybe ill move upstate

Hello New Yorkers, im from Australia, but im looking at visiting New York City in January or February 2010.

Wondering if anyone in New york has taken their babies to this vet at the Jefferson Animal Hospital .A lady took her two new gliders into see a lady vet at this hospital .She was okay until the vet asked her if she would be bringing them back to get their teeth floated.And all tho she and her husband were new to the world of gliders they knew that this should not be done. So if anyone in this area can tell us about a great vet to recommend to them that would be great.

Hi,

I'm in Saugerties, NY, about 45 min. south of Albany and right next to Woodstock.

I got my first Sugar Glider, Momo, in June 2010 and my second baby is coming into Albany Airport from Florida tomorrow night!

I found a vet in Lake Katrine, NY that has someone there every other Thursday night that treats Sugar Gliders. I was told of another vet in West Hurley that might treat Sugar Gliders and there's a vet that's already been mentioned in Newburgh, NY that also treats Gliders.

Thanks for sharing!

~Willow

Hi Willow,
You are very close to us, we are in Catskill, but we live very close to the Saugerties border..
We have 8 gliders!!

Tom & Heidi

Hi, I'm new to the Sugar world.

I am in Albany, NY. The Dr. Kraus mentioned above, is located on Central Av. in Albany. She only works part time. Nights and Saturday. sounds good for the working family, but they charge $85.00 for the first 1/2 hour visit. If you have questions to bring it over that time, look out! Also, they were not able to answer me on how much it costs to neuter. Claims they don't do it, she hesitated, and continued with, "very often."

I use Dr. Ed Becker at The Animal Hospital in Guilderland. His website is very informative. www.theanimalhospial.com

Both Dr. Becker (Guilderland) and Dr. Lucas (Saratoga Springs) charge $52 - $54 per general visit. Both charge $180-$189. for neutering.

Both have an emergency backup hospital that will contact your vet in an emergency.

Hope this helps.

Hey!

I am originally from Saratoga Springs! Born and raised there!

I live in Fort Edward, NY now. Near Lake George!

Nice to know that there is someone nearby!

Hey Brian!

I am from Fort Edward, NY. I take my suggies to the Upstate Animal Medical Center in Saratoga Springs. Dr. Joy Lucas specializes in exotics. Especially Avian and Suggies!

You can google her info online. She is located on 415 Maple Ave, Saratoga Springs, NY.
I work in Albany!
It is about 35 minutes from exit 4 on the northway. PM me if you need info!

Dr. Lucas is good. I use, and thus far, I've been very happy with her.

batavia ny!!! near buffalo ny good to see a lot of people from upstate ny (western ny) fantasitc!

We're fairly new to this site and from Albany, NY ourselves. Great to see people fairly close to us. We actually just had the Sugar Bears/Pocket Pets people show up at our malls, they ended up getting a few people to purchase but since we were there we voiced our own opinions on what suggie care was all about. Turns out less people bought because they realized these are the easy pets Pocket Pets people say they are. Plus, these people selling them didn't even know what pelt color their "personal pets" were. Oie, breeding mills drive me nuts.

Just wanted to stop in for role-call! Were from the Hudson Valley! (close to the CT border)

Dani You are in my area!!! I am in Hudson Valley to! Where are you? I am between Newburgh & New Paltz...

You aren't to far from us either!!! We went to KrysKritters for a visit..

Heidi

I am in Holmes... right outside of Pawling. I went to college in Newburgh, so I'm very familiar with your area! I actually checked out your website before! You have some very nice stuff. We may have to come by for a visit soon!

Thank you, I love meeting new people! We are "under construction" right now... building an addition onto our home (I'm gonna get my own glider room! ) but we are almost finished... so we are a little all over the place.

You me and Heidi can have our own Mini get to gether this summer. LOL

LOL!!! We need a good baby sitter for all 9 fuzzbutts!!! lol
A get together sounds good!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha! that sounds great! I was looking through the calendar, and there are no "get-togethers" in the NY area! That's great that you will soon have your own glider room! Congrats!

there is usually a get together in bighamton ny it is a great plase ..we had so much un last year...i can not wait for this year get together.....

I'm always in for a gathering in NY but I always forget to check here. Keep me updated and in the loop - has fuzzbutts, will travel!

im from queensbury looking to get my first suggie but having hard time finding somewhere nearby

Hi all of you~ especially NYers.
THANK GOD this winter is OVER!!!! We went down to the river today with the dog, and, yes, there IS still a river !!! Hooray!!! We moved here from FL you see. Crazy, I know! btw, how do you make the smilies actually show up in your mail? esp the one bigger list?
So, back to NY - We are in the upstate adirondack area and would LOVE LOVE love to get together with someone up here as I dont have any suggies yet... I am pretty much taking in alot here and working on a cage, food, supplies etc... first.
Ideally, I would like to rescue! That is just what I believe in. Most all my animals have been rescues since I did the lab breeding thing back in the mid 90s. (at that point I didnt realize there were SO many animals without a home!!)
Well, I just wanted to say hi and that I am up here.
Blessings,
Lindsay

Hi,
We are in catskill, about 30 miles south of albany!!! If you need anything let us know!!

Heidi & Tom

Hi Heidi~
I am in Glens Falls at the moment but hoping to move to Saratoga. My 11 yr old goes to school there and the 80 miles a day is getting a little old! The things I do for my babies =) I would love to come and see your babies. I have very little experience with suggies and am SO in love with all that I do know! They just seem so yummy! SO sweet. I have had many different kinds of animals throughout my years as well as the wildlife rehab. Nothing seems quite like this though. These little ones seem almost like having children (human =) again....

Hi Queensbury~
I am in Glens Falls at the moment looking for our first suggies too!! Did you get some? It would be cool to get together if and when you do...

Dutchess County, NY

Yes we can get together.. It is hecktic here now. I'm in school full time + work around 60 hrs week. Tom is sick & out of work, + he takes care of his father.
The fuzzbutts are our children!!!

Heidi[/quote]
We can do it later... I am crazy right now too and should not even be on here today!! Too much to do. Im just hooked on this site. My daughter is amazed at something she initially wanted and I said no to after just the briefest of research. Thank god I did. It was (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets!!

Hi all! I'm Darby and I live in upstate NY, near Albany.

Hey guys! Remember that State Roll Call is to introduce yourselves and say where you're from. Try to keep the extra stuff to PM! Thanks a bunch!

Hey everyone, just joined the forum as I am extremely interested in getting one of these awesome little creatures.

Hello everyone, have been here for a while.been busy reading!! figured it was time to say hello. as of right now we have three awesome gliders!!

Welcome Neighbor!!!!!!!

Hi everyone I'm from Slingerlands Ny (Albany NY area) I will be getting twins the end of May

I'm new here, and in Potsdam NY (st lawrence county). have been learning as much as i can for a year now on sugar gliders, hoping to find for adoption soon not having much luck so far though

I think there are two WF in NY that need a home. Check in the glider ads. I dont know what she is asking for them but its a boy and a girl and I think they are nice. She just has too much on her plate for all her gliders. There are a couple breeders in NY that I know of. Probably more but I just dont know them all. PM me if you want their names.

Oh, and welcome NIbblesmommy!! Glad to have another NY er on here!!

YEY!
I am from Fort Edward, NY. I work in Albany! Good luck with the new babies! I have 3 boys! They are soooooo much fun!

Hi Jenn! I am in Saratoga too!! Would love to get together sometime. Cant pm you so I hope you get this!!

So nice to see members close to where I live.

Hey everyone. Just a reminder that State Roll Call is ONLY for quick introductions and to let people know where you are from. For Glider Gatherings in your area, please make use of Special Events

Hello my fellow New Yorker!! My name is Jenn and I live in Ulster county in the Phoenicia/Kingston area. I have yet to have found anyone one with gliders in my close area. Please send me a PM if you are near by and would like to talk!! I have had 1 glider that passed away on account of a toxic cage and now have two new little ones that needed to be rehomed- I like to think of them as a rescue- being that they were on a pellet only diet.
Looking forward to hearing from you!!
Jenn

hi jenn, welcome! sorry to hear about your little one. you can kind of say we are neighbors. only about 30mins away. (i grew up in phoenicia!) you would be surprised at how many little guys are in the area!

Im in Poughkeepsie NY. My first gliders are coming in september. in the meantime i am getting ready and doing a ton of research here

welcome welcome good to know things and be prepared before you get the kids. we are not too far from you in catskill,ny

Midnight~
Saratoga Springs here. Love to have another NY er on here! Its a great place to gather info! Kudos to you for doing your homework 1st! It will help! I love the name Rayne!
