I dealt with this a couple of years ago after posting cute pics on the web then getting lots of emails saying oh that is so cute where do I get one. Thats why I made my web page. Why dont you print out my page and see if that is enough if not try adding to it.
: I was very dissapointed the other day. I was invited to a exotic animal zoo on Long Island to give a little talk about a few reptiles. I had my little sugarglider Church in my pocket. (The reptiles were in cages, and in no way could get to him)
: Church popped his head out of the pocket and all of the childrens eyes lit up. Questions started comeing at me left and right. "Where can I get one?", "How much are they?" ect.... Here is the dissapointing thing, after I gave an hour long speech about the time, late hours, years, feeding, vets, children ect... I was suprised to see that the parents still wanted to get them for there children. I did happen to talk most of them out of getting one, but there were a few people who just would not listen. There was only one many two people that I thought would make perfect glider parents. I was thinking about makeing a warning packet for people that ask me about them from now on. What do you guys think?
