It also is proposing to raise the exemption on "breeding females" from 3 or fewer to 4 or fewer. You can read more about it here... http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=APHIS-2011-0003-0001 620-704-9109 Judge not until you have walked in their shoes and lived their lives. What you see online is only part of the story. I could have missed the pain But I'd of had to miss the dance The soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears.

I have even heard of breeders that clean up because they know when inspections are. Jeremy, Lexie and Zoey Mimi & Pepper, Skeeter, Beaker & Alladin, Nell & Ling Group Leader - Mill Breeder Project

I have even heard of breeders that clean up because they know when inspections are. That didn'thappen here. Our WA inspector for USDA just did her pop-in inspection at my home this week. I had no clue she was coming by. I passed with no non-compliances. I would like to see those changes occur.

However, I believe that if a pet store now sells sugar gliders or other exotics, they currently need to be licensed. Shelly Don't sacrifice quality information for convenient information.

But these changes will help all animals in pet stores, including any gliders simply because it would (hopefully) make the pet store owners keep cleaner environments for all the animals. 620-704-9109 Judge not until you have walked in their shoes and lived their lives.
