Sugar Gliders For Sale Nj

Contrary to what many people believe when looking at them, sugar gliders are not rodents. Sugar gliders are small marsupials that are originally from Australian rainforests. They have been bred in the United States for about the last 15 years as the interest in keeping them as household pets has increased.There are only three states where it is completely illegal to own a sugar glider as a pet. Alaska, California, and Hawaii all ban sugar gliders. This is because they do not allow exotic animals out of concern for the effect on the native animal populations of their states.

Because sugar gliders have some advantages over other pets of a similar size, they have become very popular as pets. They have a much longer lifespan than similarly-sized pets like gerbils and hamsters. Sugar gliders live for an average of 10-15 years if they are well taken care of. They do not smell when they are fed a proper diet which is a huge advantage over many other household pets.

Another few states only allow sugar gliders if the owner has obtained a permit to own one. Georgia, New Mexico, and Pennsylvania all require permits to legally own a sugar glider.

Because of advances in nutrition in the last decade, sugar gliders are fairly easy to feed properly. Sugar glider pellets provide the vitamins and proteins a sugar glider requires. Owners can feed fresh fruits and vegetables as long as they make up 25% or less of the sugar glider’s diet.

Sugar gliders are also very intelligent animals. They can learn their name, do tricks, and come when they are called. They are also extremely loyal and bonded to their human family. A bonded sugar glider will not try to escape from a family member, even when in new environments. Because of this, they have many benefits of owning a dog with a much smaller body size.

Young sugar gliders do not require a large cage, but one may be necessary as they grow older. Sugar gliders need plenty of room to play, jump, and move around. Because they are small (about 5-7 inches fully grown) even a “large” sugar glider cage will be a manageable size.

Sugar gliders also known as pocket pets are small marsupials from Australia. Their average life span is 10-15 years if given the proper care and affection needed. They are about 8 weeks old when we get them in. We also get in more rare colors such as leucistics and creminos. Call us for availability and pricing. All our gliders are hand tamed and very friendly. Please research or call for more information before deciding to purchase.

When bringing your new friend(s) home, you will need to leave them in their own cage separate from your current gliders for a few days so they can acclimate to their new environment. You may have the cage close to your current cage, about 4 inches apart so they cannot reach through and grab each other.

While you’re waiting for a few days, you can swap toys and pouches back and forth between the gliders to mix up their scents. This will help significantly with the initial introductions.Adult sugar gliders weigh between 4-5 ounces and usually measure around 12 inches from nose to the tip of the tail. The tail is responsible for at least half of its length. These creatures are quite vocal and can bark somewhat like a small dog. When cared for properly, they can live in captivity up to 15 years.

In general, 75% of a sugar glider’s diet should consist of a variety of fruits and vegetables and 25% should be protein. As previously mentioned, they tend to prefer sweet fruits and veggies. They also very much like treats included in their diet! Here are some examples of appropriate fruits, vegetables, proteins and treats you can feed your sugar glider:

Because they naturally live in colonies of 10-15 other sugar gliders, they are considered social animals and usually do better in homes if they are in pairs. This is also why they have the instinct to bond with an entire group and tend to do very well in a family setting, including with children and other pets. They usually end up having a favorite person in the family that they bond the strongest with, most commonly whoever handles them the most.

Proteins: meats (small pieces of cooked lean cuts of turkey, chicken, etc. with no added spices or sauces), hard boiled eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese, tofu & peanut butter.Sugar gliders love toys so you should provide them with as many as possible, such as bird toys, chew toys, ladders, bells, exercise wheels, tunnels and balls. You can also add some branches to the cage so they have more to climb on, but be sure they are made from non-toxic wood and that they are replaced regularly as they become soiled.

Some may think a small pocket pet like a sugar glider won’t need to ever go to the vet for a check-up, however there are many potential medical issues a sugar glider can be faced with, including:

Sugar gliders like to eat up high so food dishes that attach to the side of the cage are best. They also need some sort of nesting area to sleep in during the day. Examples of this include a cloth pouch, a wooden birdhouse, a plastic hamster house, etc. There should be bedding at the bottom of the cage to absorb urine and droppings. You can buy suitable commercial bedding or you can use wood shavings or shredded paper. Whatever you use should be non-toxic in case it is ingested.A sugar glider’s cage should be as large as possible, the taller the better. They need a lot of room to climb. For one sugar glider, the recommended size is 20″ x 20″ x 30″. The cage should have wire mesh or metal bars, and they should be close enough together that your tiny glider can’t squeeze through. Their habitat should also be in an area that is not busy in the daytime so that they can sleep. Avoid direct sunlight, but make sure there is enough light in the room to distinguish between night and day. The room should ideally be 15-30 degrees Celsius. Constipation & diarrhea: If the diet does not contain enough roughage, you may see a hard, distended stomach, difficulty defecation and hard dry stools. On the other hand, if your sugar glider is stressed, eats too much citrus fruit, or many other causes, you may see diarrhea. Diarrhea is dangerous because sugar gliders can quickly become fatally dehydrated if not treated. Calcium deficiency: If your sugar glider does not have a calcium-rich diet, they will show symptoms of lameness, paralysis and difficulty moving. If you think your sugar glider is not receiving enough calcium, you should consider adding in calcium supplements to prevent these symptoms.Treats: live insects (crickets, mealworms, earthworms, etc; high in fat and should only be given as treats and not a main part of the diet; **don’t feed insects you collect from outside – may be contaminated with pesticides) & raw and unsalted nutsSugar gliders can be picky eaters so they don’t always get all of the nutrients they need. Because of this, it is recommended to add supplements, such as a reptile multivitamin or a calcium supplement with D3, to their diet.

Sugar gliders are very unique animals that many people in the general public don’t even know exist. Over the past 15 years, they have been domesticated and are now known to make great little pets! If you are interested in bringing a sugar glider into your home, here is what you need to know.ABOUT SUGAR GLIDERS

Parasites: Sugar gliders can get parasites just like a cat or dog, such as ticks, fleas, mites, lice, roundworm, hookworm, tapeworm, etc. If you suspect your sugar glider has a parasite, ask you veterinarian for treatment options.Some sugar glider owners feed their pet once a day at dusk and some twice a day, morning and night. This really depends on your sugar glider’s preference. If they seem hungry again in the morning, you can try giving them a small amount of food in the morning or giving more food in the evening.

As a nocturnal tree-dwelling species, they have large eyes to help them navigate in the darkness. They get their name from a flap of tissue connecting their wrists and ankles, called the gliding membrane, which allows this species to sail, as they cannot fly, from one place to another with remarkable accuracy.Pick up your sugar glider by safely and calmly placing one hand on the top of its back and chest, near its arms. Use your other hand to gently scoop from below. They may feel more secure on your shoulders or in a pocket. Eventually, as they get comfortable with their surroundings, gliders will want to explore.

Healthy sugar gliders are alert, with clean, clear eyes. Their nose, eyes, and mouth should be clear of any discharge or discoloration. Their coat is smooth and soft. Males have two scent glands that can be confused with bald spots. One is on the top of their head and the other is on their chest. Healthy sugar gliders are active and inquisitive with no signs of breathing difficulty or malaise.

All food and water dishes should be cleaned daily. Spot-clean the cage for any messes daily. Fully clean the entire cage every 2-4 weeks, depending on how many and how messy your gliders are in their cage. Cages should not be cleaned when gliders are inside, as the chemicals may be irritating to eyes, nose, and lungs. Vinegar cleaning products and diluted bleach are all safe to clean the hard items in the cage; make sure it has had time to completely air out before returning your sugar gliders.

Gliders are from Australia and New Guinea and are an arboreal species—therefore spending most of their time living and gliding from tree to tree. Replication of this environment makes gliders as close to their natural habitat as possible. Many sugar glider enthusiasts find that bird cages work well as sugar glider habitats—although avoid cages with only vertical bars that may cause injury.Sugar gliders enjoy toys and other items in their cage as enrichment. Hide and nest boxes and pouches allow safety, comfort, and dark areas to rest. Frequently switch other enrichment tools in the cage, including shelves, solid running wheel, swings, and bird toys. Branches and plants are extremely important to mimic a glider’s natural environment and allowing room to leap and climb. Use caution with any natural products to ensure you’re not introducing pests or chemical sprays. Sugar gliders will chew on branches, so make sure only nontoxic plants and trees are provided.

Sugar gliders are lovely, interesting, energetic, and inquisitive animals that have gained recent popularity as pets. While they may look like rodents, they are actually small marsupials, most closely related to kangaroos and koalas.Like most exotic species, the husbandry—or overall care—of sugar gliders is important for a happy and healthy pet. This care starts with their housing. Cages should be constructed of PVC-coated wire with plenty of places for gliders to climb and grab. The openings in the mesh shouldn’t be larger than ½-1 inch. The cage should be at least 36×24×40 inches, with height as the most essential factor.Sugar gliders can make wonderful pets and bond closely with their human families if given the specific care, enrichment, and socialization they require. Gliders can live up to 15 years old, so they are a lengthy time commitment as a pet parent. They are very social and live in groups of 5-12 in the wild. Sugar gliders vocalize frequently and are typically docile, but will bite when scared, stressed, painful, or poorly socialized.It is never appropriate to feed a sugar glider a commercially available diet made for cats or reptiles. Also avoid chocolate, dairy products, and even grapes or raisins. Fruits and treats should not make up more than 5% of the sugar gliders’ diet.

If they do not have enough emotional and environmental stimulation or enrichment, they commonly self-mutilate, causing hair loss, pain, and infection. Neutering males may help decrease this behavior, but always talk to your vet about how to best help any specific behavioral issues with your sugar glider. Sugar gliders can be difficult to handle, especially if they are young or poorly socialized. They should not be scruffed (held by the back of the neck) or held by the tail. Many sugar gliders respond well to being carried in a zippered, fleece pouch. Veterinarians may need to safely restrain your sugar glider during examination by placing one thumb and index finger under the jaw with one finger on the top of the head. If your sugar glider has any physical abnormalities, is behaving differently, eating differently, is lethargic, or you have any other concerns, contact your veterinarian immediately. Sugar gliders should receive routine veterinary care at least annually. They may require bloodwork, fecal analysis, and routine dental checkups.

Metabolic bone disease: most sugar gliders don’t receive appropriate levels of protein and calcium, which causes metabolic bone disease and may show as decreased appetite, weight loss, lethargy, tremors, and lameness due to broken bones

Sugar gliders should have socialization with their human at least 1-2 hours a day especially if they are housed alone. They are highly social animals and prefer spending time with other sugar gliders. Therefore, they are usually happier in groups of two or more.Make sure to rotate all varieties of food—insects, fruits, vegetables. Use caution to not feed fatty, super sweet foods, pits, seeds, or too many insects. Sugar gliders may ignore other food sources—preferring the sweet fruits or juicy insects and ignore nutrient-laden foods. This can lead to obesity and metabolic disorders.

When properly socialized and trained, sugar gliders can have personalities similar to dogs and can bond strongly with their human. They may respond to commands and even know their name. Well-socialized sugar gliders are rarely aggressive. When they are frightened or defensive, they may stand on their back legs, making loud noises and possibly charging.Exploration is a wonderful way for humans to bond with their sugar gliders, as well as providing exercise and enrichment. However, due to their highly inquisitive nature, sugar gliders can easily injure or otherwise hurt themselves, so always supervise your glider when they are outside their cage.In the wild, a sugar glider’s diet is highly varied. They are true omnivores and adjust their food choices based on climate and season. They will eat pollen, insects, larva, spiders, sap, gum, plant blossoms, and nectar. It is difficult to reproduce this ever-changing diet in captivity, so domesticated sugar gliders frequently suffer from poor nutrition.Sugar gliders have become popular exotic pets because they’re adorable, friendly marsupials with unique fur patterns and personalities. However, sugar gliders require plenty of daily attention and care, so they aren’t for the beginner. Owners need to ensure they’re giving their new pets enough space to climb, run, jump and glide. Without adequate exercise, sugar gliders quickly become depressed and lethargic. An enclosure should be at least (W) 36″ x (H) 36″ (D) 24″. Sugar gliders require a highly-specific, nutritionally-balanced diet. We feed our sugar gliders The Pet Glider (TPG) diet. This fresh food diet can be made from common grocery store items, prepared in advance and frozen in ice cube trays for convenience. The buyer is responsible for all care costs of animals purchased including, but not limited to, housing, feeding and veterinary care. However, if at any time you decide the animal is not a good fit for your home, the animal must be returned to Dragonstone Ranch at the buyer’s expense and time. The buyer may not sell, gift, or rehome the animal to anyone else, unless the new owner is approved by us in writing. This policy is enforced in order to ensure our exotic animals will always have a good home and adequate care. Failure to comply can result in legal action. Hoofstock is exempt from this rehoming policy. Whichever diet you choose, the important thing to remember when making sugar glider food is to keep it fresh and include a good mix of protein, vitamins and minerals.It is known that transport can be stressful on animals. The buyer must understand that Dragonstone Ranch has no control over what happens to the animal during transport. Once the animal has left our care, Dragonstone Ranch makes no guarantees of the animal’s condition when it arrives. It is the buyer\u2019s responsibility to insure any animal throughout transport, if desired. We prefer all our buyers to pick up their new pets from us in person. However, if the buyer still wishes to choose this transport option, it is at the buyer’s own risk. Under the right circumstances, sugar gliders bond deeply with their owners and love to be held, but creating a bond with your sugar gliders takes time, patience, and regular human interaction. Sugar gliders are great pets for the right owner. Before making your decision, spend a few hours researching sugar glider care and dietary needs. You should also find out if there are exotic animal veterinarians located near you.

Sugar gliders are nocturnal and extremely social, so we firmly believe that you should never house a sugar glider alone. We will refuse to sell a single glider unless you already have another one(s) at home. Pickups must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance. Please contact the seller if you are going to be late for your appointment. We reserve the right to reschedule appointments if the buyer is more than 30 minutes late. All animals reserved must be picked up within 7 days of their \u201Cready by\u201D date, unless other plans explicit in writing have been made. Failure to comply to any of these terms will result in immediate forfeiture of all deposits and vet fees, and the animal will be re-listed as available. If the buyer chooses to reschedule pickup at a later date, they must pay for the animal in full by their ready date, which will be nonrefundable. They will also be subject to a daily boarding fee, which needs to be paid upfront as well. Visit our Terms & Conditions page for current fees. Sugar gliders are incredibly active and social animals. We stipulate that potential sugar glider owners choose to adopt at least two sugar gliders or have one already in their care.We offer the following return policy to ensure the well-being of our animals in the case that you decide that they are not the right fit for your family or lifestyle. 50% of the animal\u2019s paid purchase price will be refunded if the animal is returned to us within 7 days, or 25% if returned within 30 days. If discounts were applied to the purchase price, the refund will be adjusted accordingly. The animal must be returned to Dragonstone Ranch at the buyer\u2019s expense, and they must be unaltered (if sold unaltered) and in good health and condition. After 14 days, we will gladly accept surrenders of any of our animals so that we may find an appropriate new home for them. Hoofstock are exempt from this refund policy. No refunds will be given for any returned hoofstock. Dragonstone Ranch reserves the right of first refusal on any animals sold, should you decide to rehome them. Deposits, boarding fees, shipping charges and vet fees are nonrefundable, as well as supplies and food purchases.Animals will be delivered by a USDA-licensed pet transporter on the next available route via door-to-door ground transport. Routes are nationwide and occur once or twice a month. Before purchasing, please bear in mind that we cannot provide a delivery date until our transporter does. While we will try to get your baby to you as soon as possible, not all routes travel through every state. Delivery estimates are not guaranteed, as factors such as traffic, construction and weather conditions can affect actual delivery dates/times. Actual delivery can occur at any time, day or night. Buyers will be updated with delivery estimate changes, and drivers will contact the buyer directly by the phone number disclosed on our application when they are upon approach. Buyer or authorized receiver must meet with the drivers within 15 minutes of arrival, show government-issued photo ID and sign all accompanying forms (USDA Transfer Form and Dragonstone Ranch contract). Failure to comply to these terms will result in the transporter leaving with the animals. The buyer may then choose to have the animals redelivered at the buyer\u2019s expense, or they may choose to cancel the sale. A cancellation of the sale will result in forfeiture of all deposits, shipping fees and vet fees, and another shipping fee will be charged to transport the animals back to the seller. Any remaining balance after a 50% restocking fee of the original purchase price will be refunded to the buyer if the sale is canceled. Remember, \u201Cready by\u201D dates are only approximations and are never guaranteed, as the animal must be a healthy weight and thriving independent of its parents before going to their new home.Adults and breeders in this section are not always bred by us and therefore come with no health warranties. Some have already been neutered, but we can always have our vet neuter any intact male for an additional fee if breeding is not desired. “Ready by” dates are only approximations and may not be guaranteed, as the animal must be a healthy weight and thriving independent of its parents before going to their new home. Please note that animal transport is at the buyer’s risk. Dragonstone Ranch does not guarantee the health or condition of a purchased animal once it leaves our care.

All deposits are nonrefundable and nontransferable. A nonrefundable deposit will be required to reserve the baby of your choice. For local pickups, the remaining balance will be due on the scheduled pickup date. Acceptable forms of payment are exact-change cash, Zelle, and PayPal Friends & Family. We do NOT accept Goods & Services payments through PayPal. We also accept chip-enabled major credit cards for purchases under $1000 (5% processing fee applies). For purchases of animals that are to be transported, the remaining balance must be paid 7 days prior to the first scheduled day of the transport. EXCEPTION: Hedgehogs and sugar gliders need to be paid in full by their listed ready date, or 24 hours prior to a scheduled neuter (sugar gliders only). Payments for transported animals can be made through our PayPal invoices for balances under $1000. For transported animals with a balance over $1000, only cash is accepted in the form of a wire transfer, Zelle, and PayPal Friends & Family All payments must be cleared, not pending, by the payment due date.

We thank you for your cooperation. TRANSPORT: We can offer to arrange nationwide transport options within the continental United States with a third-party transport company. Click here for current transport cost estimates. You can also feed your sugar gliders treats, such as fresh fruits, dried fruits, insects and yogurt. Be sure that these treats comprise 10% or less of your glider’s diet.Since sugar gliders are nocturnal animals and spend most of their days snuggled into a nest box or sleeping pouch, one of the easiest ways to bond with your sugar gliders is to carry them around during the day in a bonding pouch or bonding sweatshirt. This let them get enough rest and warmth as you cuddle your pets.

Opossums are North and South American marsupials, and many use the term possums. Possums are the Australian cousins. They are super beneficial to the environment and eat a million ticks.The documentary ‘My Octopus Teacher’ undoubtedly made many gasp, cry, and become fascinated by this brilliant being. They don’t need a permit, but octopuses are escape artists. It takes a thorough understanding of the species to keep one healthy and happy.

Banned pets are primates, bears, non-domestic cats, and dogs. You must acquire a permit detailing the specifics of each exotic creature in your menagerie and prove you can manage them like a zoo or educational facility.Wallabies are miniature versions of kangaroos, and with a permit and safe enclosure, you can keep one in New Jersey. These hopping marsupials are indigenous to Australia and considered a pest by some as they compete with other domestic and non-domestic mammals for food.

These masked bandits are seriously intelligent and might outsmart their keepers and escape. If you buy one from a breeder, be aware that raccoons can be aggressive and challenging to domesticate. Since they are super bright, they’re capable of planning revenge.Before buying or importing any exotics into New Jersey, consult your local council. Some cities or counties have varying regulations. Also, transporting animals is stressful for the creature to be taken from its environment, whether in a natural or captive space.

I cried when I saw a dolphin swimming in the bay at La Paz, Mexico. I felt overwhelmed with emotion at how beautiful this aquatic ballerina was. However, I never considered owning one for my pleasure. It belongs in the wild, and I felt honored to see one.No, you can’t own a monkey as they are considered a dangerous animal. While Great Apes aren’t explicitly listed, they fall under the endangered list governed by federal law.However, we’ve harmed these vulnerable primates enough by destroying their habitat and exploiting them for our gain in the entertainment industry and personal use, like circus monkeys.

New Jersey has permit requirements and bans on some exotic stock. The Dangerous Wildlife Act makes owning specific species illegal. For a comprehensive list of dangerous beings that fall under the Dangerous Wildlife Act, read Schedule 1.However, there are two kinds of people. The first type wants to keep a tiger in their backyard and tame them. Others are content with having David Attenborough’s fantastic camera team introduce them to breathtaking beasts on their television sets. Jersey residents can keep different exotic creatures with lesser permits, like ferrets, kinkajous, coati, pythons, macaws, hedgehogs, and reptiles. Find out more with this complete list of permit-required species in New Jersey (always subject to change). Skunks are super cute despite the stench they can unleash. If you have a permit and buy a pet skunk from a breeder, you must still buy an annual permit. Some people have luck domesticating this fun and intelligent stinker and take it for a long walk on a leash. De-sunking is essential if you keep one as a pet.With a permit, you can own a dragon snake. Ensure it comes from reputable and legal sources, as you will require documents. Dragon snakes are non-venomous and don’t fare well in captivity. The best way to support a dragon snake is to keep them located in their natural habitat.

There are several exotic pets NJ residents can bring home with a permit. Before committing, ensure you can provide these creatures with a haven to match their needs.

You can keep a capybara with a permit, but note they are enormous and need ample space and access to aquatic plants. It’s so cute when they eat their own poop.

Coati or coatimundis are like the cousin once removed from the raccoon species. Coati inhabits parts of North, South, and Central America. To keep one, you need a permit. You’ll also need a secure habitat, or they’ll more than likely explore the neighborhood.If you love any wild species, consider volunteering at a wildlife sanctuary. Or better yet, find a way to study to become a professional photographer, zoologist, biologist, or veterinary specializing in wildlife.

Ostrich and emu farming became a trend in the 1980s when people sought a healthier source of lean protein. The movement never caught on, and many ostriches roam areas in the southern states though they’re not native.Many people confuse alpacas with llamas. These camelid mammals are native to South America and famous for their alpaca fleece. These hardy animals can survive at 11,000 to 16,000 feet above sea level. Since they are considered livestock, no permit is required.

Before committing to keeping an exotic pet law, make sure you know the ins and outs of the complicated legal system. New Jersey has some stringent definitions to keep animals, and regulations are governed under the fish and wildlife umbrella. If you can prove to the state that you have an appropriate enclosure to keep otters, you might get a permit to house them. However, otters make notoriously bad pets. Laws in the US about exotic pet ownership vary, and New Jersey has strict measures for keeping wildlife or exotic species. Persons can obtain an Individual Hobby Wildlife Species Possession Permit for a fee. Sadly, one permit allows numerous animal ownership.

Persons owning these pets must have and provide credentials of experience, working knowledge, and the facilities to house and prevent public access, including a written statement of purpose and the ability to provide temporary emergency contingency.It’s easy to see why anyone would want to keep a kinkajou at their place: they’re so cute. It would be best to have a permit and documentation from the importer or breeder to keep a kinkajou. Of course, there is still another team. Sadly we need many volunteers who operate sanctuaries and rescue centers for exotic pets that are abandoned or hurt. Wild pets often become a dangerous burden. Adorable and prickly, hedgehogs are not native to the US. They come from Europe, Asia, and Africa. Hedgehogs have a bad rap way back as destructive and therefore persecuted by locals. They are not native to New Zealand or Australia either.Boas are probably the number one pet snake choice for many and don’t require a permit. The rubber and rosy boa are native, but most pet trade boas come legally or illegally from Central and South America, Asia, India, and Africa.

With the correct permit, you can own a slow-moving sloth. These ground or tree mammals are indigenous to Central and South America, so unless you have a tropical forest in your living room, you won’t have a suitable habitat for these sluggish cousins of the armadillo and anteaters.

Fun Fact: A skunk’s spray is so potent it will ruin your lunch for days–been there and done that and never want to relive that disgusting, vomit-inducing stench again.They are native to the Sierra Madre in Mexico, Central America, and South America. Unless you have a tropical indoor tree canopy located in your house, where kinkajous spend their lives, don’t torture one by keeping it in a cage.
