I took a visit to my local pet store today, and found out that they now carry suggies. Although, I saw a few with parted fur or something of the likes. I was curious to what this means. I was just wondering since I've seen mostly gliders with smooth fur. Just curious. =P

Parted fur is usually a sign of severe malnutrition. I don't imagine that a pet store would even have the time to put in to properly feeding a glider, let alone know how to do it. :(

I'm going to go give them a little talk about it and see what I can do. I know a few people that work there.

That would be a great idea to talk to the people you know and let them know. Unfortunetly I got 2 of mine from a pet store. I didn't know at the time, but now I do. Their living conditions were horrible. First of all they were on a bird food diet. Secondly since not a lot of people know anything about them and they are exotic everyone who walks into the petstore is standing around the cage poking at them (Not literally, but I bet that is how it feels to the suggie). Of course the pet store will let anyone who walks in there hold for the may be potential customers. Fortunetly the girls we got were healthy they were pretty young and had not been there long at all. Bad thing though is they sale fast. They misinformed us and I am sure they had misinformed every other person that bought one.

When you talk to them, talk to them as if you are trying to help and not condem. Being nice and informative can go a long way. Good luck.

Of course, I would like to help them not tear them down. They do give out hand-outs about gliders, but it doesn't show the necessary information. I would like to help them out in any way possible.
