Welcome to My Little Sugar Glider.  My name is Danielle, and I have been owned sugar gliders since 1997. I am a USDA Breeder, located in Lake Havasu City, AZ.

My goal with this website is to educate you correctly about owning these remarkable little animals.   Even though I am familiar with a good deal of the basics of care and maintenance on these animals, I am still learning myself everyday and this is what helps to make me a better teacher.

Any joeys I have available can be found many ways.  There are many new searches including Joeys, Hets, Colors, Males, Females and Specials.  I sometimes have older joeys and retired adult breeders needing homes.  They will be listed under specials.

It is a bit expensive to purchase all the right supplements and foods they need, but they are worth it to me. I also only purchase gliders to breed from other well-respected breeders. They give me lineage (pedigrees) that go 4 to 5 generations back on each side so I can sell you animals that are not inbred. Gliders without lineage should never be placed into a breeding program. They could already be inbred themselves, and then could be bred again to an animal that is related. This is how we see double and triple inbred animals out there with numerous health issues. Breeding responsibly must be done to prevent genetic defects and deformities in our animals.

If you are looking for pet only, the price is discounted from the breeding prices, but males will need to be neutered and females come with a non-breeding contract.  Any female purchased at pet only price must have a male purchased with her that we can neuter.  At present time, there is no safe operation in which to spay a female sugar glider.  Spaying a female marsupial is risky business and most vets won’t attempt it as the female can bleed to death in moments if not done correctly. All rare colored males price will automatically include the neuter fee with my vet. He will be neutered at around his 12^th week and can leave here at least 7 days after the surgery, to make sure he has healed properly.  The neuter cost is included in the pet price of each male.  He should also have his approximate “safe to neuter date” listed as well in his description.  If you are looking to breed a pair, please have a minimum of 2 years experience as a sugar glider pet owner to be considered.

If you want one of my gliders for your breeding program, I will be asking to see a full lineage of at least 5 generations on both of your gliders parents. If you do not have this information or only partial lineage on your gliders, I cannot sell you a glider for a breeding.  I can sell you a pair that is safe to breed.

Gliders are also colony animals. Lone gliders are prone to stress which can lead to depression, sickness and possible self mutilation. For these reasons, I will not sell a glider as a single unless you already have one in need of a like aged companion.  They will need to be “age appropriate” to one another. Even an older, neutered male should not have a young Joey placed with them if they are older.

My adults are vet checked with an in home inspection once a year to make sure they are healthy and able to stay in a breeding program, and I participate in parasite screenings for my adults with a qualified DNA testing lab in Dallas, several times a year.  The website is Vetdna.com

I live 2.5 hours from Las Vegas, Nevada and about 3 hours from both Phoenix and Flagstaff, AZ. I can deliver to these cities for a gas fee, or we can arrange for shipping with the airlines at the buyer’s expense and weather permitting.

If you live in the states of California, Alaska, Hawaii or the 5 borrows of New York City, I will not be able to sell to you as sugar gliders are illegal in your community. Please find out what the local laws are in your area before bringing gliders into your home.

If you have any questions, please go to the contact section of this website and send me an email.  I check my email daily, so I will get back to you soon as I am able to read your message.

Also, if you live in the states of New Jersey or New Mexico, or Nebraska, your states require permits to own the animals.  I can take a deposit from you, but cannot send you the animals until you can show me a copy of the permit.  I can send you the links to your  State Fish and Game Departments for this.

I also carry HPW starter packs for your gliders  and a variety of pouches and cages in my store, which is now open.    https://mylittlesugarglider.com/store/

If you are interested in coming to my home to see the gliders, I do have a policy about this.  I work during the week, so my weekends are when I can do this.  I don’t have a lot of spare time, but if you want to do this, here is how it will work.  I will expect for you to read over this educational website.  I will also send you other files to read and my application.  Once the application is filled out, and we do our phone interview, and I have deposit on the gliders that you want, then we can make our appointment for you to come by, meet your joeys and their parents and speak with me.    This is a private home and I expect you to have a deposit down for the joeys that you are interested in before you can come to my house.

People need to realize that although the gliders may be bonded to me, you are a stranger.   Coming by and looking at the gliders is not the best way to pick them out like a puppy.  They are going to be afraid of  you and probably not act their best.  As the gliders age, I learn their normal personalities and can best guide you to the joeys that fit your needs the best.

In the past, I have had a lot of people want to “drop  by” who weren’t really interested in purchasing.  My home is a private home and the animals prefer it if I don’t have a lot of people come over to see them.  It can be stressful on them, and on some of my new parents who are having joeys for the first time.  They know there is a stranger in the room and they do not like it.  I have to limit the time I allow people in my glider room, and you need to be vested in wanting a pair before you can come.  It’s also in respect to my husband who also lives here.  Our time is very valuable, as we don’t get to spend a lot of it together without working.  If you really want to learn and wish to see the gliders that you have already placed a half down deposit on, then I can allow you to come by.

Generally, my sugar gliders are a very healthy crew.  They received a very good start with me by being weaned onto one of the best sugar glider diets out there, as well as being bred correctly.  Good breeders bred with a minimum of 5 generations on both sides of the parents, to make sure they are not related.  Just one like relative within the first 4 generations, can cause joeys to have defects of the major organs.  As long as you follow my advise for care, diet, and make sure your gliders get yearly wellness exams with an exotics vet, you reduce the risk of injury and keeping healthy, happy animals.

Thank you for visiting my website and enjoy.  Please, feel free to let me know what you think.  Your input counts.

As always, I do appreciate and know there are a lot of scammers in the world out there.  If you would like a long list of my references (including my vets and USDA Inspector), please feel free to ask for that at any time.

Yours in Marsupials,

Danielle G.
