Serastes, I heard back from my friend in Baraboo just now. She called around for a glider-knowledgable vet in the Dells area and she was referred to the UW Veterinary Hospital and Clinic in Madison and their toll free number is 1-800-386-8684. Sorry there isn't one in your area!

Hi Virginia !
Welcome to GC. :o)

Hey Pix
You working on a get together yet???

Hi Virginia,

I am in Oregon, just south of Madison.

Yea, we need to have a get together.

Pix, thanks for the number and info, and thanks to everyone else as well for looking into it for me!

We've been here for over a month now, and WI's growing on me- it's such a gorgeous place to be! Really is a beautiful state, with such friendly people...

My husband moved here from Maryland a few years ago and he says the same thing, Serastes! He really loves it here and the people are much more friendly.

Glad you like it here in WI, Serastes! I was born and raised here in WI, and I love it here.


Jen

Oh, goodie! More "newer-than-me-bies"! good to have you!

Just wanted to stop by and say hi to fellow Wisconsinites!! =)

I live in Twin Lakes, WI - a little town right on the border of Illinois. - Good to see that there are a few other people in my area!

I should have my new babies within the next couple of weeks!! - I've just been doing more and more research - and planning everything so everything is ready for when they come to their new home =) I'm so excited!

I think a get-together sounds like a neat idea! - I see that no one has posted in a while...did a get-together already happen?

Hello everyone I am new to the site, but not WI. Born and raised here. I currently reside in Freedom WI,(between Appleton and Green Bay) I just got my first suggie two weeks ago, and Loki is doing AWESOME. He is my bestest bud. I am in for the get together. I would love to meet up with other sugar glider slaves and well chit chat.

PS Feather the cage is AWESOME too. Thank you Thank you

Hi my name is Cindy. I live in Hartland Wi. I never have owned a Sugar Glider but my hubby has. I just baught him two girls and they will be here on the 26th. Im so excited.

Hi Cindy!

Welcome to GC

Congrats on your new babies!!

If you go under the "Special Events" tab...you will see that we are having a Wisconsin Sugar Glider get together this weekend!!
I know it's a little soon - but that way you could meet other suggie people (including me) and learn informational stuff as well!!

It's in Kaukauna, WI...you'll have to go under BeckiT's signature to the website and sign up if you'd like to go!!

I know i really want to go. But i have to work so I think i have my hubby convinced that he should go and would prob have fun. Meet some people that share his passion of gliders. I just know he is really excited that our new babies (his for his b-day and our anniversary) are showing up on Sunday.

Jen from kenosha WI

born and raised here in good ol' wisconsin! i have to say the town i grew up in was rio... its twenty minutes from columbus. nate and i currently reside in poynette which is twenty minutes north of the east side of madison. forgive my poor punctuation, im posting from my phone.

Hi,

I live right at the IL/WI boarder just south of Pleasant Prairie and I wondered if any of you had any breeders you could recommend. There aren't any listed on this board's breeder list that are anywhere close to me. We would just be looking for a standard joey nothing fancy. But do want to make sure we buy ours from a good place that treats them well. Thanks for your help!

I'm from Milwaukee... Greenfield, to be exact.. (Though for anyone who knows Greenfield, that's far from exact.)

I'm also looking for some local (IL as well) breeders if anyone knows of some.

I know two pet stores that breed, though I don't know their lineage or trust theirs exactly.


Side note... anyone ever seen a glider with a shorter tail? It didn't look injured and was even slightly black tipped, this was at one of the pet stores I went to. (Was curious to see what they were breeding/charging. Would much rather adopt from someone's small family/home.)

But yeah.. Hello again. I'm Amber/Kozinu. My username is usually Kozinu but I'm using my first little suggie's name instead!

It is great to see all of the glider slaves here in Wisconsin. Does anyone know if there are any events featuring gliders that are held locally? It would be great to meet some other glider lovers.

There will be a get together up in Kaukauna soon... and then many of us are going to the SGGA this year as well.

Watch the Special events forum. BeckiT will be hosting the Wisconsin Spring Social some time in April up in Kaukauna Wisconsin.

I host the Wisconsin Deer Hunters Widows Sugar Glider Get Away the opening day of deer hunting in Oregon, WI, just south of Madison.

Not to be clueless, but what is the SGGA?

Awesome, I am only about 20 mins. from Oregon. Unfortunately, on opening day of deer season, I will be in the woods, so unable to attend that day. Are there any other events held locally? I will be sure to watch that forum too. Thanks, Kaukauna is kind of a hike from here, but it would be worth it to meet some other glider people.

If you want you could meet me here or in Madison and go up to Kaukauna with me.

Awesome! A car ride buddy would be great. Have you ever been to this gathering before? I'm not sure what to expect.

Yes, this is the second year we are having it. Last year we had a gift exchange, where everyone brings a gift suggie related and then we drew numbers to see who chose first then that person picked out a gift and so on.

We also made toys and there were some people vending suggie products like cage sets, pouches and so on.

Everyone brings a dish to pass for lunch. We had fun, just sitting around talking. Some of us even brought our gliders.

That sounds great. I have officially marked my calendar. I have been making a ton of toys, maybe I can bring some for the exchange. Food too. It will be great to meet other people who don't look at me like I have grown a third eye when I mention sugar glider.

Another question that I had was if you know of a good local vet for the gliders? The closest one I have found is in Sun Prairie.

Hello fellow Wisconsinites!
I don't have a sugar glider YET! but just researching them.
I live about 40 miles east of Minneapolis/St. Paul MN...
I guess that makes me a minnesconsin!
