Handout Templates


The following is a list of templates that one can use to create handouts and fliers. These can be handed out to people at various events, such as at fairs, home and garden shows, flea markets, or other such events that draw large crowds of families. Other distribution options include leaving the fliers on windshields, at vet offices, laundry mats, or anywhere a bulletin board can be found.

  1. Virtually all the sugar gliders sold at flea markets, fairs or home shows come from glider mills, which are just like puppy mills.
  2. Animal mills are breeding grounds for infections, parasites and communicable diseases.
  3. A sugar glider that is old enough to be taken from its mother will have a bushy tail and be highly active
  4. Sugar gliders are high maintenance pets that require specialized diets, large cages, and a lot of time.
  5. Sugar gliders need veterinary care. We recommend wellness exams twice a year.
  6. Small animals such as sugar gliders do not "play well" with dogs, cats or other animals.
  7. Sugar gliders are high maintenance animals. You will need to spend a lot of time with them and they need special diets, toys and large cages.
  8. Sugar gliders don't make good pets for children. Gliders can live up to 15 years and most children will loose interest before then.
