Thanks guys. At the last venue we were at with them, I printed out 300 flyers and at the end of it, was printing info on my business cards for people!!! That weekend, I had like 50 new members join my forum so people are paying attention. Oh, and we were sitting next to the people who make the city ordinances and they are going to visit whether or not they allow gliders to be sold at that venue or others like it ever again!

That reminds me that I need to follow up with them on that one!!! They heard story after story of how people were lied to. They were also standing there listening (and babysitting our animals....LOL) when someone told us how they'd purchased from (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets at our fair in August and got tired of the glider so they turned it loose outside!!! THAT happens all the time because when you LIE to people about how to care for an animal and what it requires, they become frustrated. Oh, and they saw my glider cage as opposed to (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets's and they were DISGUSTED and mine is just my travel cage and it's still three times the size of their cage. Not too mention, as small as their cage is, it's effectively cut in half by a shelf that runs around three sides of it with a ladder to the bottom. When I got a rescue in with that cage, I immediately cut the shelves and ladder out of it just to make it suitable for a travel cage!!!

I don't have to tell ANY lies. All I have to do is provide information that contradicts what they are telling people.

And as far as them telling their customers that those of us visiting the forums are "addicted" or "Pathological"...Paleeze. We're not the ones calling ourselves "experts" while calling others "self proclaimed experts"....I'd simply like to know just WHO proclaimed THEM to be experts? Is there an "expert proclaimer" out there that I'm not aware of? If there is, I too would like to be proclaimed an expert!!!!

Silly me, I wasn't aware there was even such a thing. Funny how they say THEY are the experts and the thousands of us are misinformed....ROFL you have to just kind of laugh at em' at times, dontcha? How desperate they are to convince people of their lies by creating this false little "family circle"...Hmmmm what do they have to hide or why would they worry about their customers going elsewhere for information???? Any self respecting organization wants you to be armed with all of the information you can get your hands on so that you can form your own opinions.

Seems to me, (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets thinks their customers are IDIOTS who can't form their own opinions. Seems to me that if everything (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets preaches as the "gospel" is true then people would see that and go running right back into their little 'family circle', wouldn't ya think?

If they're coming here to a show next month, I might be able to hand out flyers. I can check our calendar and see if there's a conflict.

I wouldn't be inside the same building, but I could set up a vendor spot outside and have the suggies there just as my pets and hand out a flyer to anyone interested. If it rains, I wouldn't be able to do it, though.

yeah and the best part about their "family circle" is the minute you start a fuss they kick you out of it even though that was part of the purchase price. I wanted to access it to show my vet and well lucky for me I still had all the info because they send it to you via email. I mean if they didn't have anything to hide why do you have to purchase a glider from them to access the family circle? In a lot of aways its a good thing though because then there would be even more sick animals if they followed what it says!

Also, if they are experts and I know more than they do in what 2 months of glider ownership what does that make me a princess expert? Because if they are experts well then well thats just pathetic and thats all I can say about that. I guess that leaves Queen Expert for you suggiemom!!!

It sickens me the way this company markets sugar gliders like they are sea monkeys or those little helicopters sold at mall kiosks. Those helicopters turned out to be a huge scam and many people in my area got screwed over when all of the sudden after Christmas the company was just gone, not just gone from the malls, but gone and they were left with faulty helicopters. Sugar gliders are not sea monkeys and they are not little toy helicopters, they should NOT be sold this way! Okay, enough about my opinions. I try to keep personal opinions to myself but sometimes it's really hard not to frown

Discouraging people from doing research on the internet would certainly prevent them from realizing that (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets fills them full of lies. Granted, there is a lot of misinformation or outdated information to be found on the internet. However, an active message board where an entire community of glider owners shares and discusses information, many who have years of personal experience and who have consulted exotic vets or australian wildlife rehabilitators, is bound to have the most current, up to date information. For example, I had an "exotics" vet tell me that sugar gldiers don't get UTIs but there is so much anecdotal evidence on this board to the contrary, backed up by the vets of other glider owners on this board. Sure, sometimes we get it wrong. Eight years ago, when I got my first gliders, the advice here was to feed them crickets instead of mealworms because mealworms were fattier and were more likely to bind up their intestines because of their harder, thicker shells. Today we know of the dangers of alfatoxin poisoning and the advice is to feed mealworms. This is a good example of a community that is constantly learning and sharing information.

No one here claims to know everything, everyone is learning through experience and sharing those experiences, which is how anyone learned anything about any animal.

By the way, has any here considered contacting Animal Planet? If they knew what this company was really all about I doubt they'd endorse them. Having Animal Planet endorsement is only going to increase the trust unsuspecting people have in (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets.

To all of the people who suggested contacting the local news stations when this company comes to their towns, great idea! Most news stations do "troubleshooter" type consumer alert investigations. This is a great way to alert the public, who might otherwise be suckered into buying a sugar glider from (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets at a home show or fair.

I just love you guys.

This community is SO GREAT!

If they every come near me, best believe I will have my camera in pocket recording EVERY sound and all sights I can manage to sneak. My vet is VERY cool and excellent w/sugar gliders. I have a feeling if I had hard evidence in the mix she'd be more than willing to help any way she could.


Also, is there any way we can have a (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets/CCW sticky thread or something? Maybe it would have copies of any and all "incriminating" posts/threads/etc. It could also list where they are currently or where they've last been seen. I know for a fact they have been here but haven't ever seen them at a show personally (they come to our boat/home/garden/etc. shows). However, if I had somewhere to check and saw that they were here or coming here, or even that they'd recently been somewhere near by, it might be easier to go out of my way to encounter them smile .

Good work guys - best of luck to all involved, keep us posted!!

I'm in Wilson. The show will be in Raleigh at the Fairgrounds.

I'll also look for them this weekend. There's a Ren Faire going on that I'd planned to go to Sunday.

Just a thought...but they do make some pretty bad a$$ cameras that you can zoom in from a pretty far distance. If they can't see ya, they can't have you thrown out can they?

Seems to me these people do prey on the uneducated in order to make money and they don't care about the suffering the suggies endure. I don't know how they can sleep at night. Truly makes me ill.

If they come to Houston, I'll go.

What is an Exotics Expo??? sounds SCARY!! frown frown



I am going to a show in a couple weeks at our expo center, and have been trying to find out if (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets or CCW will be there - no luck so far. Guess I'll just have to go armed and ready to go, just in case!

May 3-4 at the fairgrounds in the Exposition Center? The Dixie Gun and Knife Classic is also going on in the Graham Building. My guess is they'll be somewhere on the grounds that weekend if they're allowed. I honestly don't remember them being there in the past.
