Poll Question: I was thinking about making an order for another batch of plush sugar glider toys. There is a large minimum order requirement and I figure if I can get at least 100 units spoken for, I'll go ahead and make the order. This post is a poll. If you are interested in a couple, please note that by voting for the amount you want and also post a reply with the same so I know who you are. If we get near or past 100 units, I'll make the order and we'll wait a number of weeks for them to be manufactured... The first unit will be $15 but any additional on the order will be $10. I'd offer a "donate one to a rescue" option, but I really cant fathom what a stuffed suggie would do for anyone in that situation. If this is successful, I will use profits from this run to develop a new model for next year to start a collection. Perhaps a female with a stuffable belly pouch and then the following year might be twin joeys to insert into the pouch, then a spread-eagle gliding glider, and on and on... I am open to ideas reagrding this project, so post away. Terry Choices: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Terry - I cant see the pictures. They are showing up as little boxes with X's in them. This is a great idea and of course, I want one!!!

They are very cute and I would love to have one... maybe even order one for a friend too.... very cute!

Hand up here !

count me in for 2.....!

the voting should now work

woohoo thanks Eric!

Since I cant see the pictures - are there 5 different choices of gliders? Or are they the same one at different angles? Sorry - Its always me, isnt it!!!

It's one glider with photos taken at every angle if that helps.

Cheers Ko

Thanks to Eric and his help, I can now see the toy glider!!! Very cute!

Again - thank you, Eric! I really appreciate you doing that for me. Now dont go telling my deepest darkest secrets!!! LOL!

Count me in!

I want one!!

Gosh, if everybody reading this vouched for one, I'd already have them ordered... At this rate it looks like there is not enough interest.

I wonder if more people would be interested if we modified this design a bit? I was thinking of adding a large pouch on the belly or a testical sac?

Anyone?

I will vouch for at least 2!

I want 2!!!

Ummmm, I still can't see any pics....

hummm i see the pics, so im not sure why you cant see them nina, what browser are you running?

Hey Kaz, Put me down for three. They are so cute. Nuthutdd1 (Lynette)

Those are cute, would you work with a rescue home like Hope for Gliders. Those would be wonderful to send to members when they join or sponsor a glider or for fundraising so we can help more sugar gliders. How much would you charge for 100 or so? You can email us at hopeforgliders@yahoo.com anytime.

No offense, but the Adopt a Suggie program already does this. I will explain what we do since you didn't understand what a stuffed glider will do for a rescue.

Our program is similar to the adopt a child in a third world country programs you see a lot or adopt an animal from the rainforest. When you make an initial adoption, we give you a certificate with the name of a rescue that you are adopting to help. This is a sugar glider that is in a rescue home and due to severe mental or physical distress cannot be rehomed and therefore the rescue facility is paying the full cost (95% of the time an extremely expensive cost) for this rescue glider. Everytime you initially adopt an animal as well as renew th at adoption and give money again the full proceeds every month go towards that rescue. We give money into an account at their vet so the rescue can get neutered or we give them ingredients they need for their diet... we give them toys or cages if need be.

That is what is so great about this idea which was originally ours.

I am aware of the adopt a suggie program and certainly didn't mean to step on toes. We haven't signed up for it, but it was discussed at one time. Just like the adopt a child programs, many animal groups have sponsor a animal programs and do simular things. Some offer simular incentives to get people to help. Our sponsor a glider program also benifits the gliders here long term and short term. All rescues deserve help.

Angie,

No offense taken. I am not worried about any stepping of toes. What is best for the gliders is of most importance. I don't want to get this off topic too far, but I just wanted to state why what AaS does can help rescues.

We are still awaiting your list of rescues if you are still interested in AaS.

Now, back on topic.

so when am I getting mine? hehehehehehehe! :o)

I want one. How big are they?

Well I still cant see them...I did however find a schoolastic one at the DAV this past weekend.

Are you still planning on doing this???? If so I'll take two.
