Artsy Animal Lover When the man flicked the glider and just ripped it out of the pouch, it made me mad. I’ve never hurt my gliders intentionally or hit them, and whenever I put them in pouches I don’t rip them out like that, if I want them to come out I’ll scrunch the pouch up and gently pull them forward, if they don’t want to come out, I’ll let them be for a second or put a treat to tempt them out.
I'm super proud of you and the balls it took to do that. I think you were very mature about it, and I appreciate seeing someone spread knowledge and concern so respectfully.
You are wonderful, thank you so much. I will keep doing this for as long as I need to. I won't stand for them being treated like this. In my experience, being calm, collected and respectful gets the message across the best.
He mentions getting them from Australia. If he is, he is illegally smuggling them out of the country. We don't import or export exotics, and it is illegal to do so. They are also illegal to keep in most states. I love how all these exotic animal mill people have the same stories
Turtle Hallway yeah i find it crazy that people can own aus animals outside of aus when we cant 😂😂 like in WA we can only have WA native reptiles as pets because we have so many rare and unique species that only live in WA 😂😂
I don't think he meant that HE himself gets them from Australia and/or Singapore. I think he was referring to those places as places they originate from in general. Like in the wild. He didn't want to say that he bred them. And he didn't want to say where he actually gets them. He's clearly not someone organized, intelligent, or educated enough about them, to be running some illegal, import/exportation ring. He knew she was filming and he knew that she knew what she was talking about. He was really trying to play nice with her, and hold his tongue, so she wouldn't report him, or cause anyone to look further into his shady money making operation. He's not going to incriminate himself in any way on camera, in relation to how he is obtaining these animals. He's clearly not a criminal mastermind. Calm down! It's not that deep.. You're giving him way too much credit! 😄
Exactly. The only Australian sugar gliders in the USA are at zoos. The sugar gliders in the USA exotic pet trade all go back to paupa new guinea and a breeder in Indonesia
They're only illegal in a couple states bro. Alaska, California and Hawaii. Legal with exceptions in Georgia, New Mexico and New York. Always amazes me what people spew on the net without even doing a simple Google.
Here is the flyer: www.cataleah.com/sugargliders Hey guys. I actually confronted this glider mill breeding business again a few months ago. I filmed it again but what happened was much different from what happened in this video. They recognized me and things went downhill from there. Would you guys want to see it? I've been skeptical on whether or not I should upload it but I think I should. These people know they are doing something wrong.
that was one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen he clearly knows nothing about sugar gliders and tosses them around like there nothing I've never had sugar gliders and i know more than him!
I wanted TO JUMP THROUGH THE SCREEN AND PUNCH THAT GUY WHEN HE HANDLED THAT SUGGIE TERRIBLY. I know absolutely nothing about sugar gliders, but I'm smart enough to know that they should NOT be handled like that. You are awesome for going out and spreading good info to the world 😊
This kind of activism warms my heart. It takes a strong person to be calm and collective when trying to educate people on controversial topics such as animal care. Being a vegan and animal rights activist myself, I absolutely admire your maturity. I wish I could be like that haha
I myself did a years worth of research before getting my gliders and was lucky enough to know a breeder, and this is the first youtube channel that has been the best at explaining glider care. Thank you for fighting the good fight :)
The fact that this dude just ripped the sugar glider off of him and shoved her in the bag, rather than getting him to crawl on his hand and in the bag, made me sad. He kept saying, I think she's pregnant because she is bitting so much, but she was using it as self defense!!!!!
I'm so glad there are people like you that get proper information out!! I came very close to adopting a sugar glider because I was significantly misinformed about their level of care and their needs. I was doing my own research to better prepare myself and wow - am I glad I did! I'm not at a point in my life where I can properly provide for one. I hate to say it but I would have been a miserable home for a glider. I hope your flyers prevent any bad homes for gliders! I can't imagine how many people buy them on an impulse because of how cute they are.
You stayed so calm talking to that guy if it was me I would have got immediately so angry. Well done for educating people and standing up for animal rights!!!
I don't even own sugar gliders or ever intend to and this simply just pisses me off. I live in Texas too so if you ever need someone with you who isn't afraid to be an outspoken bitch let me know XD
This pisses me off so much. I live in Australia in Melbourne and am lucky if I see wild sugar gliders. Herein Australia you need a wildlife licence to keep sugar gliders and can only buy hem from licenced breeders. The paper work you need to fill out keeps track of how many you have and if your are breeding them and if your licence expires, they will be confiscated unless you renew your licence. I can't believe he can buy them and then sell them like that while giving out all that false information.
This is so great that you are doing this. To help sugar gliders stay happy, safe and healthy. I've encountered so many mills of different types and they treat the animals so horribly. Great job with what u are doing.😊
THE WAY HE HANDLED THEM WAS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!!! HE ZIPPED ITS TAIL IN THE ZIPPER, FORCEFULLY RIPPED IT OUT OF THE POUCH, AND SMACKED IT ON THE HEAD!!! Watching this broke my heart. Thanks for confronting them! :)
Those poor gliders! I've got two myself but they not very common here in Germany and we only get Hobby breeders! I've made sure my linage of both gliders are different and they not related in any way because I'm going to breed with them... but mine have a huge cage and sooooo much love! OMG I'm still in shock from the way he treated that one little glider! I'm glad Germany is very strickt in that department! Small Hobby breeders ok but sugar mills are non existent here
It's super sad 😭 these breeders tell their sellers all this information to tell people who want to buy them. He clearly doesnt care about anything but a paycheck. Good thing ur passing out fliers!
theXxgajxX He is just trying to make a quick buck. Thankfully I'm not going to let it happen that easily. people need to know the truth before getting an animal.
The way he treated that poor sugar glider was DISGUSTING! I do not own any myself but I care for EVERY animal- especially the ones who are commonly kept as pets as they are most susceptible to improper care and abuse. You go girl, what you did takes a lot of guts!
People like this disgust me. 8:55 he threw it around like a stuffed animal. 9:00 he didn't even pay attention to what he was doing and zipped the poor things tail. Even I could handle it better than him and I dont know a single thing about sugar gliders. What a complete idiot.
May I just say that you are one of the most awesome youtubers on youtube. I love that you are doing this! I'm from the Netherlands so my english isn't the best
This is amazing your so great and your friend too for being able to talk about sugar gliders to the breeder and spreading awareness without getting scared and leaving
hey well done its good to see how 2 people with the right mind set can make a positive change. you done this perfectly no aggression handed out good info didn't bother or disturb anyone and you handle the questioning with the seller great, you asked good questions knowing the facts and let them look the fools perfect!
The way he handles the Sugar Gliders literally gave me a heart attack. The fact he was complaining that they keep biting him is because these poor things are scared. I am literally a recent subscriber and I am glad you confront them about this. As well being really calm talking to them. I am glad you educated the public about them as well.
Uggh, my heart hurts so much watching this. Such sweet little creatures being man handled like that. .grrrr. ty for spreading awareness and giving these helpless animals a voice!
I've never watched your channel, but you go girl! Seeing you have the courage to do this made me subscribe! I can't believe they kept them outside in Texas. I have a ferret, and we ALWAYS make sure to have our events indoors, and have cold water on hand to cool them off. Unbelievable that people put our temperature standards on animals. It's hot to us, but hell to them! Great job.
These are lives that this man is dealing with. Gliders feel pain and have emotions and he doesn't care. He's there to make a quick buck and be done. I'm so sickened by this, I don't have gliders but I care about animals. You're so great for doing this!
These people who treat these animals like that piss me off. I'm really proud of you. If I had the chance to do this I would. If I was there I would yell at him for flicking, flinging them around, being out there in the heat, and keeping them in small cages. I would be so angry. Im really big on animal abuse and this would tip me over the edge. Thank you for being the kind of person you are. We need for people like you In this world. Xoxoxo
Sadly most people don't think what they are doing is wrong and just looking to make money and don't really view them as having feelings or wrong to improperly care for them which is so so sad. I'm glad to see other people willing to take a stand and to try to educate people who make impulse buys on pets like these. The exotic animal trade has gotten ridiculous in the past twenty years and there should be more regulations on selling them then you just having to be over 18. When I impulsively bought my iguana I was given every incorrect care info possible from Petco. Luckily I was a complete novice and knew enough to get me by and thoroughly researched him the very next day but if I hadn't he would've suffered slowly due to my ignorance and the pet stores. I always tell people to really thoroughly research ANY pet they want to get, even a dog or cat, before buying it and to never just buy a pet because it's cute
Oh my goodness that man was so uneducated; his reaction when you mentioned the heat and strokes! 😨 I know virtually nothing about SG's but the one shown in the video looked like it had an unhealthy coat. The cages they were selling aren't suitable for any rodent to my knowledge, let alone a gliding animal! I can't believe their substandard diet; Vienna sausages?! This is the most inferior care I've seen from stands that transport SG's to fairs. I wonder why people choose SG's specifically to sell? I've never seen any other small animal sold as impulsive "buys". I'm interested in getting some in future but as I don't have the time or money right now I will hold off. Thanks for sharing this, it was rather entertaining and I hope to see more SG vids from you! (I'd set myself on fire to raise awareness for sugar gliders too 😂)
Thanks JD!!! Yeah, he ended up leaving really early. They normally stay until dark. I am not sure if he showed up the next day or not, but my flyers were there regardless!
I do love that your educating people! That man is extremely uneducated about gliders. Their diet worries me the most. Only thing is, when you put your flyers out, please do not use tape. But please keep educating.
i have NEVER seen ANY seller (even another 'carnival' or 'flea market' seller) handle them THAT roughly holy frick. that made me so uncomfortable to watch :( i'm really glad you stood up and helped to inform people of their proper care!
Omg there is no way I would be able to keep my cool watching him handle that poor sweet but afraid sugar glider. Proud of you girl, your doing a great thing. Keep being you!!!!
Het cat, I just wanted to say that that was awesome!!! I hate it when people neglect or abuse animals. I think it's very cool that you are all about educating people!!! Keep up the good work!!!
I’m getting some gliders tomorrow, but this will be my first time owning them and even I know more than him! If he raised them from being joeys, and he bonded with them then they wouldn’t bite all the time. He doesn’t even know how to hold them properly. They’re small and fragile so you shouldn’t grab from above, it can hurt them. You’re supposed to “scoop” from underneath. It’s crazy how cruel people can be. I can’t wait to get my babies though!
MY HEART! It breaks my heart about how he was handling the poor sugar glider! I just want to get that poor guy and care for her/him! He never stopped to think why the sugar glider was bitting him
Good work given the unspoken a voice, im glad you could see through that guys bullsh** ... people like that make me so angry and shouldn't be allowed to just sell them like they are replaceable and meanless creatures and well done on trying to educate some more people on them.. the world needs more people like you x
Awesome what you are doing. I seen you at the last show in DFW area. Was real busy so did not get to say Hi. Maybe this weekend though if you come to Arlington. I got to say my favorite part of this video is the shirt Mickey is wearing. LOL... I Love "The Cure"
Wow. I can’t believe that the one girl said you have to keep your house cold and he denied it! I’m a new subscriber and have been binge watching your videos and just came across this one. Thanks for doing this.😊
Oh my gosh girl! You are so pretty I love your channel. I once watched your reptile room tour video and had no clue that you were the same person when I recently clicked on one of your sugar gliders videos . A quick search through your other videos and I was like omg yeah I thought I recognized her. And low key I hope you and anyone else doesn’t tKe this the wrong way but if I was lesbo/ bi and if u were too you would totally be my dream person. I hope you find someone who appreciates the true beauty of you. 💖
I literally almost started crying after seeing the way he handled them! It is not ok! Anyone who can do that to a poor helpless animal is cruel! I hate people like this! It disgusts me! You are so brave for doing all of that, I would never be able to. Thank you for spreading awareness so that people don't treat their animals like he does.
Great job indeed! I also wanted to confront pocket pets after I learned about them after rescuing my first one. I instantly searched for a reputable breeder for a buddy for her. Then I researched (pocket pets will tell you NOT to read other sources other than theirs?! There was no support online or by phone as they said there would be always be someone available for any concerns.... Wrong!! When I finally connected by phone (I’m persistent) the person barely spoke English. Bad outfit. If there comes a time that this were to happen in my area may I use your flyer? It’s very well done with the graphics and info. The large sugar glider is eye catching. Great job on the flyer as well and what an amazing way you handled yourself! I personally would have told him off after flicking the glider in the head!! But your way is much more productive. You showed great strength that I don’t know I could do the same. So, with your flyer in hand and not just stating information by my own opinions. I’ll gladly share your info and help shut down or bring to light the truth about Gliders. Thanks for sharing!
I was so shocked at the way he handled them and flicked them and swung them around like they were objects and not living things! it was disgusting and I have no idea how his mind registers it and thinks that it's OK. he clearly had absolutely no idea about how to care for sugar gliders yet he sells them at the flea market!! so happy you put out those fliers because hopefully more people can be educated so there will be less people like him in the future. Great job!
That “sugar glider man” comes around Tampa Florida too and he’s slick for such an old man, and evades justice. He feeds them pellets and keeps them in tiny cages. I suspect he also operates on craigslist. I think what you do to educate people is very important. Thank you.
How he treats the gliders is absolutely apalling. I don't know how I could've been as mature as you were in that situation lol its sad really sad to see animals in that condition and I am happy that you confronted him! I love all of your animals :)
honestly i wouldnt take that man on his word as far as I could throw him if i was there in that moment. he sounds like hes guessing all his answers. and clearly they're wrong and he's misinforming everyone he talks to.
Awesome video and this makes me super happy, but I have to be that person that says this...Your friend is...quite nice...visually...and vocally...lmao dying inside
Omg your such an amazing person for doing this!!! I need to do this, btw I love that septum jewelry you got in. Don't know what it's called lol but looks cool
Super cool that you care and stand up for animal rights. That was a really terrible repetitive for Pocket Pets. I got my sugar baby through them. They not only sell the appropriate stater cage that is not a bird cage, they set you up with several educating emails regarding proper food, bonding ect... They seemed very knowledgeable and have invested into a long line of healthy and safe food, treats, cages and toys. Please don’t misunderstand me I’m totally against animal mills. And I will do some digging before getting another baby from them. But that guy was just ignorant. The people I spoke with were very educated in regards to everything about sugar gliders. P.S Sugar Gliders are originally from Australia. So they are not comfortable in any weather lower than 75 degrees. They like to be warm
I know absolutely nothing about sugar gliders but even I could tell that we had no knowledge and as an animal lover that makes really sad.If these hese sweet fluffy beans are going to be pets then they deserve to be loved and cared for properly
I am so glad to see that after your mission, he packed up! I wish he didn't take those poor babies with him though, because he will be mistreating them the whole time he has them! How long was the market going on after he left?
We got our gliders at a flea market, they gave us a tiny cage, I wouldn't make a mouse live in the cage they gave. And they were adamant on only selling me one glider. I had to send a buddy in to buy the second one. Thankfully we planned ahead and had an exotic nutrition congo cage. We kept the 2 small cages one is for quarantine, the other is for rejected or abandoned Joey's. We don't sell our gliders. We now have a 14'x14'x10' glider room with 10 gliders.
Awesome video. I had a beautiful pair of these babys but sadly I had to rehome them due to others in the house complaining about the way they smell. Wich is rediculous in my openenion but I hve to say I miss them a great deal and I would love to rescue another pair in the future once I have needed space for them! And sausage for gluders!? That's insane and should be considered crule! And the way he treated that poor baby girl was sickening!
It’s biting cause it’s NOT comfortable! It’s too bloody hot outside for it. Not a good salesman thankfully. Doesn’t know squat about living conditions for these Sugar babies. Ugh
this is scary that people treat animals like this. this really upset me, and this guy should be shut down.
Artsy Animal Lover It is scary. I agree with you. I hope we can change it.
CatAleah we'll do everything we can.

I agree but there are worse
Forever may he not rip

cataleah, do you have any specific breeders or companies you would recommend. for me to get my sugar gliders from?
@@CatAleah Props to you for standing up for the sugar gliders in this way.

Thank you for being a voice for those that can't speak.
I will never stop!
K Williams What a great way to put it!!!
You handled that really well! I'm glad you were able to educate people about sugar gliders with your flyers. Great video.

And if he THOUGHT she was pregnant why handle her so roughly!? omg

The exotic animal trade has gotten ridiculous in the past twenty years and there should be more regulations on selling them then you just having to be over 18. When I impulsively bought my iguana I was given every incorrect care info possible from Petco. Luckily I was a complete novice and knew enough to get me by and thoroughly researched him the very next day but if I hadn't he would've suffered slowly due to my ignorance and the pet stores. I always tell people to really thoroughly research ANY pet they want to get, even a dog or cat, before buying it and to never just buy a pet because it's cute
I love watching any of your videos!!!!!❤️❤️
Horse Play thank you!!!
Oh my goodness that man was so uneducated; his reaction when you mentioned the heat and strokes! 😨 I know virtually nothing about SG's but the one shown in the video looked like it had an unhealthy coat. The cages they were selling aren't suitable for any rodent to my knowledge, let alone a gliding animal! I can't believe their substandard diet; Vienna sausages?! This is the most inferior care I've seen from stands that transport SG's to fairs. I wonder why people choose SG's specifically to sell? I've never seen any other small animal sold as impulsive "buys". I'm interested in getting some in future but as I don't have the time or money right now I will hold off. Thanks for sharing this, it was rather entertaining and I hope to see more SG vids from you! (I'd set myself on fire to raise awareness for sugar gliders too 😂)
Thank you for doing this and standing up for these animals and educating people!
Excellent work. Lots of useful information edited into the video. I noticed at the end you actually got those people to leave yay!
Thanks JD!!! Yeah, he ended up leaving really early. They normally stay until dark. I am not sure if he showed up the next day or not, but my flyers were there regardless!
Glad for you to help others learn the proper care of sugar gliders. Save those sugar gliders! THANKS CATALEAH!!!!!
I do love that your educating people! That man is extremely uneducated about gliders. Their diet worries me the most. Only thing is, when you put your flyers out, please do not use tape. But please keep educating.
the way he was handling her broke my heart, thank you for confronting him❤
i have NEVER seen ANY seller (even another 'carnival' or 'flea market' seller) handle them THAT roughly holy frick. that made me so uncomfortable to watch :( i'm really glad you stood up and helped to inform people of their proper care!
Omg there is no way I would be able to keep my cool watching him handle that poor sweet but afraid sugar glider. Proud of you girl, your doing a great thing. Keep being you!!!!
Het cat, I just wanted to say that that was awesome!!! I hate it when people neglect or abuse animals. I think it's very cool that you are all about educating people!!! Keep up the good work!!!
I hope he cant do this anymore and tye sugar gliders ok. You are very good person to educate people about the proper care.
I’m getting some gliders tomorrow, but this will be my first time owning them and even I know more than him! If he raised them from being joeys, and he bonded with them then they wouldn’t bite all the time. He doesn’t even know how to hold them properly. They’re small and fragile so you shouldn’t grab from above, it can hurt them. You’re supposed to “scoop” from underneath. It’s crazy how cruel people can be. I can’t wait to get my babies though!
Omg that was so awesome that you passed out all the flyers!! You go girl! 💗😭 warmed my heart!
MY HEART! It breaks my heart about how he was handling the poor sugar glider! I just want to get that poor guy and care for her/him! He never stopped to think why the sugar glider was bitting him
Good work given the unspoken a voice, im glad you could see through that guys bullsh** ... people like that make me so angry and shouldn't be allowed to just sell them like they are replaceable and meanless creatures and well done on trying to educate some more people on them.. the world needs more people like you x
I am glad that you did not go alone....always have someone else with you!!
Nichole Bird I made sure of that :) Thank you!
Awesome what you are doing. I seen you at the last show in DFW area. Was real busy so did not get to say Hi. Maybe this weekend though if you come to Arlington. I got to say my favorite part of this video is the shirt Mickey is wearing. LOL... I Love "The Cure"
Wow. I can’t believe that the one girl said you have to keep your house cold and he denied it! I’m a new subscriber and have been binge watching your videos and just came across this one. Thanks for doing this.😊
Oh my gosh girl! You are so pretty I love your channel. I once watched your reptile room tour video and had no clue that you were the same person when I recently clicked on one of your sugar gliders videos . A quick search through your other videos and I was like omg yeah I thought I recognized her.
And low key I hope you and anyone else doesn’t tKe this the wrong way but if I was lesbo/ bi and if u were too you would totally be my dream person. I hope you find someone who appreciates the true beauty of you. 💖
Heck you are my dream person and I’m straight lolz 😂 anyways im gonna hush now 🤐 😅
I literally almost started crying after seeing the way he handled them! It is not ok! Anyone who can do that to a poor helpless animal is cruel! I hate people like this! It disgusts me! You are so brave for doing all of that, I would never be able to. Thank you for spreading awareness so that people don't treat their animals like he does.
JordyGirl I will keep at it. Don't worry too hard. let's keep fighting this battle! we will help gliders slowly but surely
CatAleah thanks, I've never had a glider myself as I know that I don't have the space for the right sized cage, but I wish I did.
Like the video even before watch awesome work!
Great job indeed! I also wanted to confront pocket pets after I learned about them after rescuing my first one. I instantly searched for a reputable breeder for a buddy for her. Then I researched (pocket pets will tell you NOT to read other sources other than theirs?! There was no support online or by phone as they said there would be always be someone available for any concerns.... Wrong!! When I finally connected by phone (I’m persistent) the person barely spoke English. Bad outfit. If there comes a time that this were to happen in my area may I use your flyer? It’s very well done with the graphics and info. The large sugar glider is eye catching. Great job on the flyer as well and what an amazing way you handled yourself! I personally would have told him off after flicking the glider in the head!! But your way is much more productive. You showed great strength that I don’t know I could do the same. So, with your flyer in hand and not just stating information by my own opinions. I’ll gladly share your info and help shut down or bring to light the truth about Gliders. Thanks for sharing!
you are such an inspiration! you handled that so well!
I was so shocked at the way he handled them and flicked them and swung them around like they were objects and not living things! it was disgusting and I have no idea how his mind registers it and thinks that it's OK. he clearly had absolutely no idea about how to care for sugar gliders yet he sells them at the flea market!! so happy you put out those fliers because hopefully more people can be educated so there will be less people like him in the future. Great job!
Thank you! It was very upsetting, but I know I helped!
😍 Love this so much! awesome job, hopefully some people took in the knowledge you gave them and pass it onto others as well. ❤
Unicorndust thank you so much! I passed out a lot of flyers, I'm sure they will help!
this makes me so sad. i love how professional you handled this situation. i live in Texas too so i know how the heat is, those poor gliders 😔😔
Omg- I was almost crying- the way that, that man was handling when was NOT okay! OMG!
The way he treated them made me so angry. No one should abuse such beautiful animals. Thank you for doing this and have the courage to! :]
Girl your awesome!
Thank you! You can help in your own local flea market if they have them! Or try online activism.
Awesome vid! I have owned 2 Gliders myself and the way that man treated them was horrible! Good to know we still have good animal lovers like yourself
Ur a legend we need more people in this world like u good job
Good thing you did that! Next stop, Puppy and Lizard mills.
That “sugar glider man” comes around Tampa Florida too and he’s slick for such an old man, and evades justice. He feeds them pellets and keeps them in tiny cages. I suspect he also operates on craigslist. I think what you do to educate people is very important. Thank you.
So cool that you did this. I don't have any pets beside dogs and cats , but I research them in my free time.
(I’m so late) I have a chinchilla but watching your sugar glider videos are so interesting! Also, glad you stood up to him like that :)
Awesome video
Oh my gosh you're so cute! You're awesome girl, keep doing what you're doing!
The way he was handling and allowing people to handle that glider HURT MY SOUL
I love how you handled this when will more people learn truth given in peace makes bigger waves then truth yelled in anger.
The way he treats them just makes me cry
Aaaaaaaaaaaa you're such an amazing person! It was low key adorable when your friend said he was going to defend you if he tried to hurt you eeeeee
How he treats the gliders is absolutely apalling. I don't know how I could've been as mature as you were in that situation lol its sad really sad to see animals in that condition and I am happy that you confronted him! I love all of your animals :)
I love what you’re doing here.
Now this is how you fight for animal's with word's and flyers
i love how you love animals and how you will do anything for them ceep it up
Tucker's Reptiles thanks Tucker :) you do the same
CatAleah did you see what car they were driving to report them? poor animal s :(
honestly i wouldnt take that man on his word as far as I could throw him if i was there in that moment. he sounds like hes guessing all his answers. and clearly they're wrong and he's misinforming everyone he talks to.
Awesome video and this makes me super happy, but I have to be that person that says this...Your friend is...quite nice...visually...and vocally...lmao dying inside
Omg your such an amazing person for doing this!!! I need to do this, btw I love that septum jewelry you got in. Don't know what it's called lol but looks cool
Thank you for doing this!!! I couldn't watch any more after the guy flicked the glider 😢 I have 4. 2 of mine are rescues.
Always love your videos.
Love you cousin 💕
-Salem
I love you too!
Super cool that you care and stand up for animal rights. That was a really terrible repetitive for Pocket Pets. I got my sugar baby through them. They not only sell the appropriate stater cage that is not a bird cage, they set you up with several educating emails regarding proper food, bonding ect... They seemed very knowledgeable and have invested into a long line of healthy and safe food, treats, cages and toys.
Please don’t misunderstand me I’m totally against animal mills. And I will do some digging before getting another baby from them. But that guy was just ignorant. The people I spoke with were very educated in regards to everything about sugar gliders.
P.S Sugar Gliders are originally from Australia. So they are not comfortable in any weather lower than 75 degrees. They like to be warm
I know absolutely nothing about sugar gliders but even I could tell that we had no knowledge and as an animal lover that makes really sad.If these hese sweet fluffy beans are going to be pets then they deserve to be loved and cared for properly
I am so glad to see that after your mission, he packed up! I wish he didn't take those poor babies with him though, because he will be mistreating them the whole time he has them!
How long was the market going on after he left?
We got our gliders at a flea market, they gave us a tiny cage, I wouldn't make a mouse live in the cage they gave. And they were adamant on only selling me one glider. I had to send a buddy in to buy the second one. Thankfully we planned ahead and had an exotic nutrition congo cage. We kept the 2 small cages one is for quarantine, the other is for rejected or abandoned Joey's. We don't sell our gliders. We now have a 14'x14'x10' glider room with 10 gliders.
Awesome video. I had a beautiful pair of these babys but sadly I had to rehome them due to others in the house complaining about the way they smell. Wich is rediculous in my openenion but I hve to say I miss them a great deal and I would love to rescue another pair in the future once I have needed space for them! And sausage for gluders!? That's insane and should be considered crule! And the way he treated that poor baby girl was sickening!
It’s biting cause it’s NOT comfortable! It’s too bloody hot outside for it. Not a good salesman thankfully. Doesn’t know squat about living conditions for these Sugar babies. Ugh
Terraification ikr!! I really wanted to slap the man
