Lilleethesugee, I am so sorry to hear about your troubles. Hope everything turns out ok for you. It is great that your are willing to take in rescues. What a wonderful person you are taking in resucues with your health condition( I'm a nurse BTW)
As you can see I'm an animal softie..5 dogs...I just can't say no...

I think the thing that hit me the hardest was that there are so many rescues because for whatever reason people can't or won't keep them.

I would love it if (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets quit selling too, those poor little sugar gliders should not be sold to whomever who might do g-d knows what to them..and could end up in a resucue rather than a forever home.

Please PM me with the info on where to send the receipt, info and such and I will do it.

Mindy

well lucky for Lillie we have a great vet and a great support system and lately she has turned into quite the pig. I just gave her the medicine from the vet and after offered her a mealie because I use them like treats and its the only way she wont freak over taking her meds. My daughter left the can of worms beside me and open and she went for a dive inhaling I don't even know how many made me wish I had my camera it was sooo cute!

HAHA I have a glider like that too! Dolly is a mealie fiend! She literally lunges out of her pouch, grasps my hands with hers, steals the mealie out of my fingers with her mouth and scurries back in the pouch. It's too funny. The other night during tent time I had the mealie containor open on the floor. She literally dove her big head into the containor grabbing as many as she could and in the meantime tipping it over!! She had all that brown dusty stuff on her face lol. Sooo cute!


Minmor719- I would be one of those people that still would have bought them! Because they are so cute and I knew ahead of time they would be a lot of work. But, I love them! Even after 2 tail amputations and three months of back to back feedings I wouldn't trade my girls for the world. But, I think a lot of those people that buy them wouldn't. That's why they turn up so frequently in the rescues and craigslist right after (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets has been around. I read countless posts on craigslist about people selling them because they didn't have the time for them. They bought them from (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets and automatically thought they would bond in less than 2 weeks, never stink, easy to manage, don't bite etc, etc. This definitely turns out to not be the case and sadly not everyone looks on the internet to get the right information.

Do they just travel everywhere? I hope they never end up in my area, because I would have to be physically removed. I would be writing from jail if they ever came around. I have never even heard of this place until I signed up here and now I see what awful people they actually are. How do they down and go to sleep at night? exclamation

We didn't buy from (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets but we did get sucked into the mill breeder fiasco. I know first hand how devastating it is to be lied to about a glider only to find out I was lied to. Gliders aren’t as simple as mills make them sound and people need to know that before buying one. Thank goodness for GC! And now that we have our own Joey, I do know how early Sugar was taken away from her parents.

I don’t know how they sleep at night either. It just makes me so sick!

Custom Cage Works sounds the same too . . . got virtually the same pack of lies - easy to care for, feed the hard pellets with the vitamin and calcium sprinkled over the top, etc. Oh, and if you don't want them to smell funky just don't ever give them protein! Gimme a break! I'm so very thankful I found GC. And my awesome suggies are thankful, too.

Unfortunately, CCW, Gliders R Us, etc are all different companies. However, (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets purchases their joeys from TX and apparently from either Mike or the guys at CCW. So technically they are the same pond scum, just a different pond.......

You guys bring up something I've been saying all along....people would STILL buy their joeys even if they God forbid, told people the truth about their care! People are roped in by the cuteness, and who wouldn't be? But I don't think people plop down $380 for an animal they have no intention of caring for...if (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets and others like them would actually give people the proper information on glider care, they'd still make a ton of money.

Alia...my vet said she couldn't give me the information on the gliders she's treated, but if I can get Angel to call her and give her permission to give it out, she'd be more than happy to. Also, I warned her that (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets had been in town this weekend so she's going to start documenting where the gliders are coming from and the diagnosis. She will ask the owners if she can use their case information to help us document cases and she's going to speak to the other vet in this area that cares for gliders.

I'm going to post on Hoobly and Craigslist tonight and notify anyone who purchased this weekend that I can reach, that if they find themselves unable to care for the joeys to contact me for help in placing them!!! You should do the same in your area every time you come into contact with them cuz I found out this weekend that when they left our fair in August, someone let the joey go outside because they hated it!!

Maybe they are afraid of telling the truth. If they told people how complex they were less people would impulse buy. More people would want to go home and study before buying them. Maybe then they would realize they were getting ripped off on price and wouldn't buy from them.

Oh and I love this part of almost every email too again Quoted from their own family circle email sent from them :

For example, we get FAR TOO MANY frantic emails and calls from new parents, saying things like: "Help, my baby is throwing up"...or "has severe diahrrea"..etc..etc.. In almost EVERY case when we dig into what's happening, these well-meaning moms/dads got some CRAZY information off some credible-LOOKING website that told them Gliders LOVE this kind of food - or that kind of food - and that it's fine to feed it to them at any age. The problem is that by the time they figure out they got BAD advice, their little baby's digestive system is all out of whack - and it could easily die in less than a day or two.

Bottom line... PLEASE stick to the diet we lay out for you in the audio CD FOR AT LEAST THE FIRST SIX WEEKS - and you're little darling(s) will get off to a GREAT start :-)

-------------------------------------------------
And why is it really that you get so many frantic emails? Well most likely because 1. your diet isn't really a complete diet with protein and all that (not diet bashing I am sure its ok for some just from my own experience and what 2 vets have told me) 2. all of your animals are sick when you sell them and 3. You tell them to give their little darlings pepto bismol!

This is just wrong on so many levels!

Giardia is a parasite and pepto is NOT going to get rid of it! No wonder they have so many ill and dying/dead joeys. How very very sad.

I know my vet did! He had a stinkin field day when I brought all the info. It took him about half a second to nearly be sick over that and a ton of other stuff that they gave me that was SO wrong! It's truly very very sad that they think its ok to do this to innocent defenseless critters.

Well I will be very happy when I receive that! Definitely giving that to the fair board man! I will probably hand deliver everything and spend half the day explaining with proof why they shouldn't be allowed.

Is there anyway to find where these people will strike next? I would love to know when they would be in the TN area! At one point in time(many moons ago), there was a booth at a local Flea Market that sold gliders. I don't recall a name but I do remember when we'd go to the Flea Market, normally after Church around 2-3pm, the gliders would be awake and in their cages or attached to the sellers by a tiny leash. At the time I didn't know how WRONG this was but now looking back on it I wish I had! I remember being fed the same lies that everyone else has heard about the gliders(easy to take care of, don't bite, don't this, or that), and I was probably about 14 or so at the time(22 now) and Thank God for my mother not allowing me to get them or I probably would have been as overwhelmed as most people on here.
I will say, 'thank goodness" for GC, because if I went on what I was told then,now, I would have def had a hard itme owning a glider. These people need to be stopped before Gliders end up like all these other exploited animals! It's truly an outrage.
-Sorry to vent but I feel so strongly about these magnificent creatures-

SugMom2B, you should check out the thread about What makes a Glider Mill? I think you'd be very interested to read about the TN flea market vendor......Yes, they have a big thing for leashes. One of my friends rescued a glider from them that had a leash IMBEDDED in her neck!!!


I had a nice long talk with my vet yesterday. I think anyone who has seen Pocket Pets at their fairs, etc., should notify their vet about the chances of Giardia, etc. and ask them to be on the look out for case studies that we can use against them. They'll have to get permission from the owners to use the case studies, but I am pretty sure that any owner who is trying to save their gliders life is going to allow that info to be used.
