What is everyones opinion on these videos? They seem odd, as though they are selling the idea of glider ownership versus most videos doing the opposite.

im only like 2 mins into it and im already mad. cant believe he just pulls the poor glider out of his pocket like that. how would he like being pulled out of bed suddenly while he is trying to sleep.
the biting part makes me laugh. he might as well say they will bite. when you first get a glider they are going to be scared and there is a good chance that it hasnt been tamed.
a sugar glider is nothing like a dog! a dog wants to play with you a glider in a way plays with you but not like a dog. and lots of animals can live to be 15 years old but that can involve vet visits because they are getting old and have more problems. and not counting the money we have spent on our 12 year old dalmatian for her seizure problem she had that had to be taken care of. its more costly to have gliders but if you take the cheap way using pellets it wont cost much since its cheap and they wont live as long. by the time you buy the gliders, cage, wheel,toys, food, and whatever else thats alot of money you have to spend before you get them.
and i hope that is not the cage he keeps glider in thats behind him.
maybe we should make up a fancy sounding sugar glider organization. thats why people are thinking they can trust this guy.
and why would a baby even be near a glider! maybe we should write a book about sugar gliders as well!
i just dont know about this guy. one second you think he is an ok guy then the next second he says something that make you want to just punch him.

one word= FAKE

Just do a search up top for "ASGV" and you'll get as much info as you need. I'm not giving them my energy.

It's down right evil. I checked the website and it's all these pictures showing smiling vets with gliders all over them. I just hate how everything in today's society uses lies and tricks to market. And the YouTube videos have half a million views!!! Is there anything that can be done? It's seems like they just delete the negative comments.

These videos make me extremely angry. Ill admit when we first thought about getting a glider, this is what we looked at, and did my research through these videos. Then when I got Toto, I found this website and found out EVERYTHING I had learned was wrong, and could potentially kill my gliders. Luckily I found this site and got them on a good diet, and well, learned that everything I thought was wrong =X
I wish there was something we could do. When I read his comments on you tube that say things like, "Oh, I'm going to go buy one now since theyre so easy to care for," my heart breaks a little bit. Because these people are either a) going to be in for a rude, expensive awakening if they learn more about it and do right by their gliders, b) kill them with a crappy diet and all that other nonsense from the video, or c) the glider will end up homeless.
It is evil. I agree

Hey, Is this guy on crack? I know who he is affiliated with but if he were a true vet and more concerned with animals well-being and less with lining his pockets with money, maybe he would realize the load of crap he is telling others who want to believe he is knowledgable and can help them with thier decisons and care about their gliders. Wish we could find a way to get his license pulled and let him spent the rest of his life mucking horse stalls! At least he would be where he and his "Sponsor" belong. I would love to post some corrective info but know ift would be taken off immediately and he would never truthfully answer legitimate questions from those who know he is lying. Enough, back to work.

It was a heated topic!

We created a whole video series on YouTube to show another side:

It's called "Debunking Sugar Glider Mill Breeder Lies" and it takes aim at the videos you are talking about. Please check it out:

You are very kind to do this.



You may have just saved a few dozen gliders' lives. Keep it up because that is a major contribution to the education effort we have embarked on.

thank you and keep spreading the word

I was in exactly the same situation. Thanks to this site for saving Edgar and Elanore!
