How Do You Find A USDA Licensed Sugar Glider Breeder?
Sugar gliders are small gliding animals that hail from Australia and have become popular as household pets, according to the North American Sugar Glider Association. Although the U.S. Department of Agriculture once regulated the breeding of sugar gliders through the Animal Welfare Act (AWA), it no longer requires sugar glider breeders to hold an AWA license. The NASGA maintains that breeders holding USDA licensure are of higher quality than other breeders, however. Finding a licensed sugar glider breeder is a moderately easy process, requiring some research. Locate a USDA licensed sugar glider breeder through membership associations dedicated to sugar glider ownership. The North American Sugar Glider Association and the International Sugar Glider Association both maintain resources on their respective web sites that help potential pet owners find a reputable dealer. The ISGA provides a list of its members who have achieved USDA licensure; the NASGA does not endorse any particular breed
