Tommy:
"Hi," my name is Christine. I happened to run across an old internet posting that you had written and I thought I'd drop you a line.
I have been very interested in sugargliders for about two years now. Ever since I saw one on tv for the first time, I have done everything from track down local pet stores that sell them to visiting various web sites that offer info. on them.
I am planning on purchasing one or two gliders within the next year and I want to make sure that I don't end up with ones that have bad behavoiral problems. It is for this reason that I feel that buying a hand raised glider would be best. I was very pleased to hear about how you raise your gliders. Do you sell any of your gliders? If so, I would be very interseted in getting any information that you might have in reference to buying one.
I am very excited about having gliders as a pets & I think that they would definitely fit well into my lifestyle.
P.S. What is your experience with having two gliders of the same sex living together. Are there any territorial issues?
Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks, Christine
