Looking at things differently lately, I thought that I would start this thread for those of us that know what we dont like...

Feel free to link or upload glider related photos that you absolutely hate. Here are a few I found. Some of you may recall some of these...

have to agree, i got my sugar gliders from tropical attitude pets before I knew anything about them but, i have to say I have given them a great home : ) i only want what is best for my little boys!

o my..most of these are very disturbing..I dont know how and why people can abuse animals especially little precious things like sugar gliders...

Seeing those sickly thin and miscolored gliders crammed in probably fighting over pellets makes me sick from my body to my soul!

Thank you for sharing this obvious showing of abused and neglected babies. Maybe this will remind people of the cruelty and misguided concepts of the mill breeders/brokers, that are lurking about.

why are they all so brown colored? am i missing something...

Poor health/nutrition= icky brown fur.

The top pic is the.... least.. ickyness or worst or something i dnt know how to phrase it! Do u know what i mean?

Grrrr...

I think she meant the one under it. Of the gliders. and i understand what you mean. But some of the glidrs in that picture are probably sick, or dont get the right diet. and there are a lot in that cage. i wonder how big it is. and i hate the one above it like most of u. i mean really?
"what do they eat?" A: Fresh fruits, veggies, and a pellet food. What is wrong with them!?!?!

Oops!! Yes, thats th one i meant! i didnt scroll up all the way!

That makes me feel sick, its not until you see these photos you realise the suffering these gliders are put thru, you here about it all the time but these photos makes the reality of it all hit you in the face

Oh that is news to me! Apparently they don't stink! Well then I must have a totally different animal. Because, though I love them dearly, they are stinky little girls.

And all you need to do is (and I am being sarcastic) feed them a corn based pelleted diet which has all the nutrition you need in a crunchy and hard to chew form-perfect for these little squirrels, give them human food as treats, keep them alone in a small bird cage with little socialization, give them an ordinary hamster wheel and maybe one or two more toys, give them a sock to sleep in on the ground overtop of a wonderfully expensive heat rock which of course will not scald their skin, and don't worry! They don't bite! I mean after they spend all of their energy trying to chew their diet and wearing down their teeth getting attractive tooth abscesses, they simply don't want to bite! And they don't smell because they are so blocked up and sickly that they probably won't even poop or pee! They are A PERFECT POCKET PET!

Jack arses!

Love the sarcasm...

i see..... that is very sad, i can't believe i didn't know that...
now i understand why these pictures are so grotesque

*third picture from the bottom* its stupid people like that is probably why states do not want them to be legal to have and are so worried about them damaging the environment. that guy has 4 sickly looking gliders on him outside during the day when all they want to do is sleep. they probably cant run away because they are to tired and sick to do so. and those pockets on his shirt/vest is probably where he keeps them when they are not out, poor little gliders. : (
why do people have to be so stupid and selfish.
