I JUST WANTED TO COMMEND YOU ON EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE FOR THESE ANIMALS. THEY ARE TOO SPECIAL, AND DO REQUIRE ALOT OF TIME. I AM 23, AND HAVE TEN OF THEM. ALL IN FIVE CAGES, AND NO BABIES YET. MY MALES THAT ARE WITH ANY OF MY FEMALES ARE NEUTERED, BUT I HAVE TO BE HOME AT 9 ALSO, FOR THE SAME REASONS, THEY ARE UP AND HUNGRY, AND THEN THEY NEED TO HAVE TIME TO PLAY. IT TAKES ME ALL NIGHT TO TAKE CARE OF THEM, AND FEED THEM. THEY ARE WELL WORTH MY TIME, AND TAKES ME ALL DAY EVERY SATURDAY TO GET ALL THEIR CAGES CLEAN. I LOVE THEM ALL AND MOST OF THEM I ALSO GOT FROM RESCUE. ONE PAIR THAT I HAVE NOW WOULD BE DEAD IF I WOULD OF NOT COME ACROSS THEM BY FATE. THEY WERE DUMPED AT A PET STORE, I WENT THROUGH ALOT OF MONEY TO GET THE FEMALE BETER, BUT IF I KNEW WHO THAT PERSON WAS THAT CAME IN AND DUMPED THEM, I WOULD OF KICKED HER ----- FOR WHAT SHE HAS DONE TO THESE ANIMALS. I AGREE THAT PEOPLE HAVE NO CLUE ON WHAT THEY ARE DEALING WITH WHEN GETTING ONE. THAT IS WHY THERE ARE SO MANY UNWANTED SUGARGLIDERS.
I COMMEND YOU SO MUCH AND GLAD TO HEAR THAT YOU ARE STILL GOING, YOU ARE THEIR ONLY HOPE, AND I KNOW THAT YOU WILL DO WHAT IS BEST FOR THEM. I HAVE A BOYFRIEND FORTUNATELY THAT DOESNT MIND THEM. I KNOW THAT I CANT TAKE ANYMORE, BUT IT IS SO HARD WHEN YOU COME ACROSS ONE THAT NEEDS A HOME, AND IF YOU DONT TAKE IT, HOW DO YOU KNOW IF IT IS GOING TO BE TAKEN CARE OF PROPERLY?

MUCH THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR CARE.

AND LAST,
ME, NIKKI.
