There's no proof when you speak on the phone. Messages and emails leave proof. I personally won't deal with people who ONLY want to speak on the phone.
I think him advertising on Facebook is shady too. He doesn't have caresheets, just notes, and pictures to lure people into a sale. If he made a website *which can be free* I think it would make him seem more credible. He could then post caresheets for all the animals he sells and his policies for potential buyers to make a decision from. From what I can tell he doesn't ask future owners anything about what they know. I wouldn't buy from anyone who doesn't handle their breeding sugar gliders. If you can't give all your animals attention then maybe you should cut back. And how would you know if the gliders have good personalities? That's passed on to the joeys.
And nipped gliders are common. I see gliders missing an ear on thepetglider, or hear about joeys with limbs nipped, or with parts of their tail missing when they come OOP. The fact that he has so many is weird, like he gets them because they're discounted or something. But that's pure speculation. Maybe he produces them and doesn't sell them because he believes they'd make inferior pets.
I'm also curious as to where he gets his lineaged animals. I would think any good breeder wouldn't sell to him if they knew the diet his gliders were on. Pellets aren't that bad in my opinion, my gliders get Suncoast Wholesome Balance but they don't eat more than a few pellets per week if even that, but it sounds like they make up a good portion of his gliders' diets. And with corn being the second ingredient I can't imagine the Ca:Ph ratios in Happy Glider. Does anyone know what they are?
Assuming the only real complaints were made here or on his Facebook page, I don't see why he isn't still selling. Chat boards or places like Facebook aren't necessarily reliable, convincing, or truthful. He seems pretty under the radar too, advertising on Facebook or hoobly solely (or other advertising places). He doesn't brag about having 'the best' or anything like that either. Someone local should definitely check out his facility.
