Well they are probably trying to come up with the easiest way to get out of the BBB's investigations. I wonder if everyone in the (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets's thread has done that? Reported them to the BBB's in their respective areas. A FLOOD of those reports might trigger some kind of higher up law enforcement or investigation maybe? I dont know. Someone should probably go over to that group of (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets threads and mention it if they already didn't recommend every who has dealt with the (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets to do that!

OK, don't panic! That law has been around since the 90's. Florida was unique in the way it set up laws on wildlife because it was the first to mandate cage size and cage conditions, not just for gliders but for almost all animals held in captivity. The only problem is that Florida Wildlife doesn't have the manpower to enforce these laws in private homes. So they’re not going to come busting your door down with a ruler in their hand. The do keep a close watch on commercial animal keeper like Animal parks and Zoos. If you read the whole set of rules there are also different rules for animals that are being transported and for animals that are for sale.

Well if the law has been around since the 90's, there are many Licensed breeders here in Fl. So i think there is nothing to worry about, since i think not all of the cages meet that standard, and yet have been licensed anyway.

OK, Rule 68A is the rule that covers all pet cage sizes, not just gliders. It's quite long. It seems that they have made some changes somewhere in the law, but the part about gliders is the same as it has always been.
This IS the same law that has been on the books since the 90's. And they don't enforce it because it would take a huge staff. Remember it's not just suggies that we are talking about. The wildlife rule book mandates cage size for all animals held in captivity. Can you imagine trying to enforce that? What a nightmare.
Also, did you know that in Australia, the minimum cage size is 10 x 10? If our government was a lot tougher on cages, it would stop a lot of this impulse buying, thats for sure.

There is a site called Uncle Henry's where I found a person that will custom make cages. You could probably order from them and have them shipped. They seemed reasonably priced.... It's http://www.unclehenrys.comYou should be able to post an ad about what size cage you'd need and then wait for a contact!

Also, the site is based in Maine so shipping may be pricey.

I think this would be a great law if we lived in an area without such drastic variation on temperatures, but with cages 4' or larger, some ppl.might have to keep them outside. With summer temp. here reaching 100F, and during winter having a variation of 20 to 30 F between day and night, that would probably cause the gliders to get very ill, therefore this law would actually cause them more harm; it doesn't say the cage have to be in an environment with controlled temp. I can see the good intentions of it, but (specially for home gliders) there haven't been much thought about the viability of it.
