: I have some good news everyone! I am visiting my aunt in New York, like 20
: minutes from my house and we went shopping and I told her I wanted to go into
: the petstore for 10 minutes to get something for Rooey, so I did. I walked in,
: and I see these cages with little sleeping pouches in them and I go, "No, it
: cant be!" But of course it was, and there was 2 female gliders and a male. So,
: I asked if they can be held and he let me! They were tame, hand raised sugar
: gliders. He feeds them fruit and veggies and special food w/ calcium and
: vitamins too. The only prob was that he didnt believe me that the male was a
: male. I had to point out the bald spot AND show him a book before he believed
: me. Its so nice to see a pet store who knows what they are doing! And they
: were even bonded to him. He was selling them for $175 ea, so that wasnt so far
: fetched. Well, ttyl!

How can this be a good story?
From everything I have learned (so far) I really didn't see anything good about that story. I'm not trying to start anything, but you said it was good to see a pet store that knew what they were doing, but yet they didn't even know what the sexes were? They are bonded to him and he is selling them? Isn't that a bit cruel to the gliders?
Sorry if I'm way off here, but I'm still learning, so if anyone has any opinions on this it would be great!
Thanks!
