Since I don't have any gliders yet, I'd have to buy. :)

I'd rather rescue and would rather talk other into rescuing.

adoption should be on the list. I'd suggest that for anyone who is interested in getting sugar gliders

We take in the ones that need a safe haven.

i want a colony of about eight. we bought four, and i have offered every add in the state that i have a good home for their gliders if they give them to me or sell them very cheep. gas alone would usually be close to a hundred bucks. i wanted joeys anyhow so i will breed for the other four, then neuter. there are not a lot of sugars in my area that need re-homed anyhow. when i look for them about half are being sold from people breeding them and i would rather not pay them to over breed their babies anyhow, the rest just are interested in money, not where they end up:( they want a hundred a piece and up, (usually they are in pairs at least) so with neuters, gas, and what they are asking it would be like at least over seven hundred bucks if i tried to rescue instead. this way i only pay to neuter.

purchase from breeder i found on hoobly.com

before i knew better i'd buy but now i'd rather try to rescue one..

i bought mine.. lol i didnt even mean too..
we were lookin for a girlfriend for are hedgehog and we saw these little guys and she had them livin in a little bird cage and i felt bad for them so i bought them with out thinking all i knew was they were going to live in a totally better place...

now i would get them from a rescue and adoption would always be a option too..
( i feel like i resuced them..) i wish she would sell me her breeding pair too cause i swear she is like a sugar mill cause she always has joeys for sale.. i want to buy them and nueter(sp?) him so they can live happy lives..
maybe someday she'll give in...

yeah id like to breed its an amazing experience.. and buying is expensive..

BREEDING is way more expensive. Ask any experienced breeder. The neutering of the joeys alone would be so expensive. Sons will mate with mom. Dads will mate with daughters. That's a whole new world of problems most aren't prepared for dealing with.

i would buy becuz training is a big pain

Breeding is expensive!

Rescuing is expensive!

Buying is expensive!

These are not "cheap" animals. I get frustrated when I see the "I want a sugar glider, but I don't have much money" posts! If you don't have much money - I suggest you get a gerbil or a hamster! They are cute, can be friendly, and are WAY less expensive!

adopt from someone who cant take care of theirs anymore

I bought my first baby boy and i rescued my girl.

I adopted 3 of my 4 off craigslist. And 2 of them just had a joey. But Id prefer adopting. Ushi is my first and last breeding.

I have done all three. I have adopted rescues, adopted joeys, and now bred for joeys. All three options are wonderful as long as nobody is supporting mill breeders :).

I would rather buy or rescue. There are enough gliders out there.
