Hi, my name is Whitney and I am the organizer of this campaign… Here’ s a little about myself…. I am 17 years old yes I know young but dedicated. I have two sugar gliders Echo and Beau and I love them dearly and just in case you don’t know what a suggie is here’s a brief description:
The sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps) is a small arboreal marsupial that is found Australia, as well as in Tasmania, New Guinea, and the neighboring islands of Indonesia. The Sugar Glider is a member of the same order that includes kangaroos, opossums, wombats and Tasmanian devils.
I am here trying to stop Perfect Pocket Pets, Why?
Because Perfect Pocket Pets sells their sugar gliders to those who are uneducated to their care and needs. Sugar gliders needs are very serious.
1. They must be in pairs at the minimum. They are colonial animals and if kept alone can begin to self-mutilate due to boredom and loneliness.
2. There diet is extremely important…there are a few well known diets such as BML and HPW diets…these diets have been made by professionals who have study the sugar gliders natural diet in the wild… It contains the proteins, Veggies, and fruits that they need. They also have a specific calcium phosphorus ratio.
3. They need an extremely large cage. I mean there not called Sugar gliders for nothing. They love to glide and need the room to do so, they also live high in trees so there pouch needs to be high up in the cage.
Perfect Pocket Pets tells people that gliders can live off of a slice of apple and pellets. They also say that one glider is fine and that they only need a 2×2×2 ft cage which is way too small. My two Have 5 ft cage to themselves….Perfect Pocket Pets lie to get sales and the sugar gliders are the ones that are suffering due to it.
