This project is a group of members from all areas of the sugar glider community. We are owners, rescuers, and small hobby breeders. We all share one common goal: the health and welfare of sugar gliders. This project was started when several individuals in the glider community started working to prevent the glider breeding mills from continuing to sell gliders that are sick, malnourished, and or underage. It has developed into a community wide group of supporters. Click here to access the forums. Our Mission: The Mill Breeder Project is striving to put an end to the poor practices within the Sugar Glider Breeding Mills that are selling gliders at public venues, such as trade shows and county fairs that are sick, malnourished, and under age. Our hope is that these mills will be made to comply with the proper USDA regulations, so that gliders will no longer be subjected to illness, harm, or death. In addition, we are also working closely with the CDC for the protection and health safety of the general public. We are working on developing programs to help educate the public on the proper care, diet, safety, and health. To many sugar gliders are being sold at these shows that are infected with giardia, sick, underage, and malnourished. The housing conditions for the sugar gliders while at these shows are poor. We are working closely with the Center for Disease Control to provide enough documentation from Veterinarians who have treated Sugar Gliders shortly after purchasing from one of the Mill Breeders. Currently we are gathering veterinary documentation outlining the health condition of gliders sold by a mill breeder or its vendors. If you, or someone you know, has purchased a glider from a mill, please get a copy of your vet records and email them to us. If any of these Companies are scheduled to be in your location, please contact us to send the information. Together we can make a difference! Thank you! |
