Here is the top ten list of "reasons" why people surrender sugar gliders to sanctuary network:

1. My child lost interest or went away to college and stuck me with the animals

2. The breeder / pet shop lied to me about how easy it is to care for them and I just don't have the patience any more

3. The cage mate died and I don't have the heart to keep the single one and think your rescue will do a better job of finding a mate for my single

4. I just got a new job that requires a lot of travel so I can't take care of them

5. My (brother, mother, sister, etc.) is allergic to them so they have to go

6. We just had a baby and don't have time for these animals

7. I have to move and I don't want to bear the expense and hassle of taking them with me

8. I found this animal outside (or abandoned in front of a building in a cage) and took it in temporarily but don't want to take care of it any longer

9. It keeps biting me and doesn't like me

10. I am tired of it and want to get a different pet
