In response to a comment on my last post, I thought I'd write an entry on things to keep in mind before you buy sugar gliders and include some things we wish we had known before starting our colony. 

The first thing people always want to know after seeing our sugar gliders is where they can get some of their own. Sugar gliders can be hard to come by (and even harder to find from a reputable breeder). They're illegal or require permits or USDA licenses in some states (not in Kentucky), they have very slow breeding cycles, and they can only have up to 4 joeys at a time (usually just 1-2).

I want to introduce you to my little colony of sugar gliders that will be the topic of many of my blog posts.
