I've heard they're a Glider Mill and are full of inbread Suggies that aren't taken care of.

That can be answered in one word. NO

They are a huge sugar glider mill who breed and sell suggies for nothing more than dollars in their pocket. You cant believe everything they put on their website...

As you hang around Glider Gossip, you will understand that most of the people who frequent here are very much into rescued and rehomed gliders. We are extremely anti-glider mill - no matter who they may be. And we can get pretty vicious when someone comes here promoting them.

I don't know from experience, but from MANY other posts that poclet pets=bad. As for sugar gliders r us in tennessee, im not sure. We had a guy that tour flea markets locally where I live in Florida, he got the gliders from the lady in tennessee and he went around selling him. We considered getting gliders from him, but further research made me think otherwise and we got our gliders from a local breeder. Anyways, I know the guy that represented gliders r us reccomends LEASHES, and they also sell the hard staple food we bought from him and ended up tossing(our gliders hated it). Also, just the fact he keeps them so active at day, 10am-5pm, isnt good for them. Steer clear of both.

We got our girls from Sugargliders R Us. She sold us the leashes with them and told us that the leashes were harmless. She even demonstrated with having a glider climb the leash and assured us that they wouldnt just dangle and die by hanging. I wasnt sure about that and only used the leashes once if at all.

What really angered me was that she lied to me to make a sale. I found her on the internet (she was the closest breader that I could find). I called her and told her that we were wanting 2 girls. She said she had two very sweet girls that were handled alot, which she raised. She promised to save them for us and we met her at the flee market where she sells. After getting home and having furter questions about their OOP date and raising I called her and she admitted that she didnt raise them but had some boy she knew raise them for her so she couldnt answer any specific questions.
