Lineage is not a way for breeders to make money, it is a safe guard from inbreeding. I've seen gliders missing limbs they were not born with and even cleft plate. Just like with humans, inbreeding can have very serious consequences including birth defects and neurological disorders like the wiggles, a condition where a joey cannot hold their head still at all, which makes things like eating, grooming or just walking around difficult for them. Yes it does trace back family lines, because the gliders in this country have been here only 30 years roughly, and all the gliders in our country originate from the 5-10 colonies originally brought here so risk of inbreeding is very high unless you can trace which colony the gliders come from (lineage). Lineage with gliders is not what most people think of, in terms of other animals. I want to take a moment to over lineage and inbreeding because I am noticing a trend of new owners who are breeding without a care for the health and welfare of their gliders and joeys. The deposit is non-refundable, but can be used towards a different baby if your circumstances change or you would prefer a baby from different parents within 6 months from the date you place your deposit. The deposit will go toward the price of the joey. Oceanfront Sugar Gliders requires a $250.00 non- refundable deposit to reserve your joey. With this in mind, please know you will get a well loved baby handled daily. I will never consider myself to be the #1 Breeder in Virginia just one of the best with a caring heart and passion for what I do. We are a tight community and with lineage we are able to track any health issues within the gliders and pull these from further breeding. Breeding non pedigreed sugar gliders is not acceptable. They will also have good strong lineage on all their sugar gliders. A good breeder will also have available all their males and females on hand with pictures. Our pets are well taken care of and loved. We are also inspected once to twice a year without any notification. Why purchase from a USDA licensed breeder? We must follow tight rules and provide proper housing, food and living arrangements for all pets in our care. Joeys will be able to leave and head to their new homes once they reach 8-9 weeks old (this is dependent upon their weight, growth and ability to eat on their own. Pictures will be updated every week thereafter. Temperament is my highest concern when I match my breeding pairs, and babies are held from an early age to ensure they are friendly and used to people.Īt approximately 2 weeks of age I will be posting pictures of the joeys on this website and my facebook page. While I can’t guarantee the personality of any individual joey (some are runners, explores, cuddlers, etc.), I do guarantee that you will get a joey that is typically much friendlier than one you would find at a pet store. *Our joeys are socialized and use to people. While you might be lucky enough to find one that is both friendly and healthy, do you really want to take that risk? Below are a few points we would like to make about the average pet store joey. With all the joeys that are available in pet stores, you might be wondering why you should take the extra time to contact me and go out of your way to get one of our joeys. I will always be happy to answer questions for you. I do require several phone calls to discuss the proper care of your new joey and be able to provide certain items and living conditions for your baby. I find owning my Sugar Gliders to be extremely rewarding. Some are great cuddlers while others are explorers. They don't come when you call them like a dog and since they are nocturnal, they will sleep all day. You will find that Sugar Gliders are not for everyone. I find these wonderful but quirky small creatures to fit my lifestyle and bring much happiness into my life. These are truly my pets and a big part of my family. Welcome to Oceanfront Sugar Gliders! I am located on the east coast in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
