I had planned on buying from a local breeder in south Texas; but, there are not any except for a pet store that I don't want to get them from. So my new plan is to get my gliders from someone in the Houston/College Station area. I will be picking up or dropping off my sister and will be able to detour and get my gliders on the way back. Now I am trying to find "The Breeder for me". So far I have only found "The Pet Glider".

I know that there are animals available in the classifieds; however, I might later want to breed a colony before I neuter and I don't want related, inbred, or possibly bad genes. No one worry I am going to start out with two girls and won't do the colony thing until I have a lot more experience, and money. lol... I would prefer a breeder where I can get lineage and know that they live in a home where they are handeled often. Oh and I will not be getting them until I get/drop off my sister during the winter holidays. So if anyone knows of reputable breeders in that area please let me know. Sorry about being so long winded...

go to thepetglider.com. She is located in houston texas and has amazing little gliders. she will let you visit and play with her babies and everything!!!

The Pet Glider...Priscilla Price is who I'd check into! I used her and she is just awesome!

Peggy with CritterLove is an EXCELLENT breeder. There is also a very large rescue in Houston that has gliders ready to go to their new homes - Mary & Charlie H. --
PM me for links if you like.

Does Mrs. Price sell standard grey gliders too? I saw that she specializes in colors and did not see many pictures of grey's. Maybe she just does not have updated/new arrivals? I have heard good things about her, I just want to make sure that I am doing all the proper research before hand.

Oh... where is critterlove located.

she has standard greys. I always look just for fun and the standard greys usually are the first to go. So just keep checking her site out... better yet if you email her or call her she will normally be able to tell how long it will be and if you want her to hold them she will.

Have you checked your local craigslists? There are always gliders that need to have a home in texas it seems.

Ahsaehr,

Yes I have looked at craigslist and there are not really sugar gliders in my area. Also, at this point I don't know if I would want to breed a colony for myself; but, if I did, I would want to know lineages so that I would not be breeding more bad genes. Thank you for your input. If later I decide whether or not I will breed my own colony I might use craigslist to add to them but not for a while.

Everyone else... Thank you for your input. I will probably go with Mrs. Price. I still will be doing more research and will create some sort of check list before hand to have you all review. (Just to make sure that I am as prepared as possible) Thanks everyone.....

Where in south TX are you? There's a handful of respected reputable breeders here in TX but only know of Pricilla & gliderboy4life that are in the Houston area.

Peggy - Critterlove is in Portland.
Smaller hobby breeders Melinda & Cora are in the North TX area.

I'm sure there are other's I'm missing but if you visit glider central, I'm sure you'll run across their ads and can learn more about them.

jacknsally,

Thank you for your help. I will probably go with The pet glider, just because I have heard so many people say positive things about her breeding program and how she takes care of her animals. Thank you for your assistance.
