: Dear All:
: It is really no wonder that so many people don't know what is the best thing for their gliders. I did extensive research through books, internet, owners and breeders before purchasing mine and the amount of conflicting info out there is astounding. It is a wonder that anyone can figure out what to do. Even some of the national organizations have different members who contradict one another. I'm a grown woman with children and consider myself to be reasonably intelligent and very responsible and I have to admit, that I get confused and frustrated sometimes. I just keep trying to shuffle through all of the info out there and take to heart the things that most everyone agrees on and ignore the rest. I pray that I'm doing the right things. I'm certainly in no position to give anyone else advice so I don't post alot but I do read on a regular basis. Most of the info is very helpful and insightful and I hope if I should ever need any help that one of you knowledgable glider lovers will come to my assistance.

I too saw a sugar glider and fell in love with it. I talked with them about them and they told me to research them before I go out and buy one. I read and listen to different sides to each subject. I ask each side why they feel that way. I don't have a Sugar Glider yet and I have been researching for almost 1 year and a half. By reading I learned who to talk to, who to ask what questions. But I think this board is awful. I think too many people get very defensive for no reason. Maybe they have their own personal reasons. I hope like you do that if I ever need any help that someone would help me. I think that I may not get the help here because everyone is going to be afraid to say anything or they are too busy fighting and insulting other people. I have been to Glidernet and was able to get a lot of good links there. I think the link that had the page with the little flying sugar gliders on it was good, I don't remember the name of that page. It gave me a lot of things to think about. I also use Ruths Pages alot. She is a good place to go for information. I need to find a good message page where people don't get so angry. I seen a bunch of pages and there is a lot of conflicting things also. I guess I will wait and see what the guy at the zoo tells me when I see him next week. I have a little notebook with the conflicting stuff in it that i will ask him. I will keep talking to my friend if I have any questions.
