Am I right in assuming that you can own a Sugar Glider in the state of Georgia as long as you can show proof that you bought it from someone who is inspected and regulated by the USDA?
I know the pet stores here where I am are regulated and inspected, but is this the case elsewhere?
Yes, just like in pennsylvania they ask you to get a permit to own them. So as long as they know you they can blame if something happens you can havce one. I like this is boggus!
Pennsylvania is no longer giving out new permits though. You don't need a permit in GA..just documentation you purchased from a USDA licensed breeder. Some vets won't see them w/o documentation either. There are some members from GA that do have vets on here and others that drive out of state.
