Yeah, I think you are right... they DO keep tabs, why else would they have a section about "how these forums and message boards are bad and full of internet addicts who neglect their gliders and give false info"... I mean, come on!

Anyway, I can still get in as of now... but if they have anyone watching this forum, I am sure I won;t be able to for long. So if anyone wants specific info, PM me and I will see what I can access for as long as I can. Anything to help teh fuzzbutts in danger from these people!

Has anyone ever emailed PETA regarding this - or is that opening a can of worms. They are a crazy group and can infiltrate anything.

I don't advocate PETA in any way shape or form. Ever since I witnessED them euthanizing dogs with heart worms just because the treatment was "too expensive"...I've been colunteering for an animal welfare organization MUCH smaller than PETA and we successfuly treat heartworms every day...anywho, I doubt PETA will even care.


(PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets will only be stopped if we can convince someone, namely the USDA, to seriously investigate them. I just don't understand why that's turning out to be so hard!!

Because the USDA can't be in all places at all times... these people have mills EVERYWHERE, and if the USDA can't hit them ALL simultaneously... how will they ever know the problem? Does the USDA even do spot inspections, or are they making appointments, giving the mills time to clean up for an inspection? And perhaps the USDA is using guidleines that aren't really appropriate for gliders and assumes these packed cages are okay or something. Who knows??

When you watch the video over to the right is the embeded code, just copy and paste, it's that easy. They probably have permission to use the video but that never stops anyone from using your vids. The owner can send a complaint to the Utube staff but it takes a while before they respond. Many of my vids are being used without my permission but they are in a reputable site so I don't worry about it.

I would never get PETA involved! They will eventually come after you, the Glider owners, as well.

(PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets has duplicate "home" sites. They have the one with the large, clean cages and the tame, well-fed gliders. That's the one the USDA inspects and passes.

Then they have the "warehouse." It is reported to be a trailer, or series of trailers, stacked full of 1'x1'x1' cages. With no windows. This is where the babies are bred, and pulled from their mothers at 4 weeks.

There are many many other practices of (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets and the other mill breeders. Pocket knife neuters done on site, for example. Releasing gliders into the "wild" when they are sick or otherwise no longer useful. These are the tip of the iceberg here, guys.

There are MANY threads on here about (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets. Find the ones where the mill breeder representatives post their replies. Those are ... amusing?

And, GliderGuy is right. PETA is NOT a good organization for us to alert. They (violently) oppose animals being kept as pets, especially exotics. It is a matter of time before they would turn on us, the glider owners. If we invite them in, they'll have all they would need on us to use their terror tactics on our pets.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

If you have obtained a glider from Perfect Pocket Pets or any of the other mill breeders....

PLEASE contact The mill breeder Project.

*this* is how we will stop them! A complied and complete detail of all their tactics, complete with dates, times and *medical records*!

It is imperative that gliders purchased from the mills be taken to a vet RIGHT AWAY so we can have documentation of the abuses, the too young gliders, the giardia, the parasites, etc.

And BTW, my male is NOT neutered. That is something new they started about 3 months after I got him. I emailed them about it and they said they had changed their practices to keep "laypeople" from "over breeding"

They take every opportunity they can to bash and put down those people. Please be cautious reading there.

Your gliders are both rescues. There are many many reasons why rescued gliders should NEVER be bred. Please have Scout neutered ASAP so that he and Gracie won't have to have the burdens of breeding/joeys. Breeding rescues at all - even for your own personal pets - is VERY discouraged.

If I haven't said it already - welcome to GC, and thanks for bringing your story! Please make sure you tell it at The mill breeder site, also!

So even though their corporate office is in Florida, would their "warehouse" be in the corporate office???


I dont understand why the USDA does not investigate all their locations... I am sure they are aware that the large super clean cage with well fed gliders is not their only cage, right???

I mean if everyone here knows what they are doing and how they are doing it shouldnt the USDA???

I personally think if anyone is to be classified as a breeder they should do several investigations to make sure they approve all cages possible...

There is some misinformation here so I hope this helps.

Liz, USDA can only do what the law allows them to do. (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets is smart enough to not break the laws. USDA is supposed to make yearly unanounced inspections, but if an inspection is low priority, they can postpone or skip when they are behind.

Alden, where did you hear that? As far as I know (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets are not breeders at all. They are registered with USDA as a dealer, not a breeder. That basically means that they sell gliders that other people breed.

When they have a show scheduled, they place an order with a broker for X number of gliders. The broker searches the mills for enough gliders to fill (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets's order. Since most mills don't give a darn about the health or the age of the gliders, that is why sometimes you get healthy ones and some times you don't. It just depends on which mills the broker uses, and which glider gets grabbed when the breeders stick their hand in the cage.

Again, there is no (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets breeding warehouse. These gliders are shipped directly (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets at the show.

That's news to me, Anita.

Was it a different breeder here that had the warehouse? Perhaps I'm just getting my Mills confused? This is the first time anyone has ever come here and said that (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets is not a breeder, that I'm aware of.

I purchased my Harley from a guy who had purchased him from (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets so I am able to get onto their website as well. Let me know if you need me to do anything. Or you need access to the forum.

Alden, I've heard that one of the Texas breeders keep the gliders in tiny cages.

Kathy Klunder lives in a 2.5 million dollar house. And GRE is Kathy's company, not Virgils. Now does this sound like the type of person who would soil her hands with the details of breeding gliders when they can be easily and cheaply obtained from the mega breeders out west? Besides a company or person who breeds and sells directly to the public, like Mike McGrath, needs a breeders lisence, not a dealers lisence.

Julie, I would likd a copy of the scans. And if any of you have any details about (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets's new neuter program, I would like that also.

ON THAT NOTE....when I first got my boy, he was supposed to be at the 8 to 10 week stage...HE WAS NEUTERED. So I assume they neutered him in this whacked out fashion. You would think even if they did it the normal surgical way that he was too young at '8 to 10' weeks.

I ended up soon after bringing him home, emailing them to see if he was in fact neutered. They responded by saying yes, by Florida Law, they neuter all their boys. Oh and I also emailed them with concern for the diarrhea...they said to give him Kaopectade or Pepto and that he was just stressed.


I remembered, and then looked it up again, that this is the way that they castrate cattle and other large animals. I have never heard of it being seen as appropriate for a small animal.
