sugar gliders

[kelly1277]

So I have wanted sugar gliders for years and they are now legal in Georgia as long as you have proof they are purchased from a USDA licensed breeder. So my next step would be finding a good breeder....Does anyone have any breeders they know or have purchased from? I am not planning on getting any till the beginning of next year so I have lots of time to find a breeder and do lots more research. Thanks in advance!

I do know of a breeder it is Tropical Sugar Gliders.  He hand raises them.  I got one from him and he was an excellent help on how to care for the baby.  DO NOT ADOPT FROM PERFECT POCKET PETS!!!!!!   They don't breed them themselves.  They adopt them from breeding mills.  Also, they don't sell the right sized cage.  I do have two from them but i rescued them.  A lady bought the two from them and thought they came hand tamed but they didn't so, she picked them up by their tales and was afraid to feed them.  they have been though alot of abuse.  Don't make the mistake by adopting from them.  Make sure you get one from a professional breeder.
