Forums to ask questions and get more info...
Connect with other glider owners at Glider Central or WSGN. Please use common sense when you visit the forums. We see both good and bad advice (like how to self neuter your glider). Also be aware that some large breeders as well as brokers frequent many forums.
For education and advocacy...
Both Angie Higdon and Debbie Durkin are available to consult on sugar glider ownership and to speak to girl scouts, rescue organizations and other groups on advocacy issues.
You can reach them via hopeforgliders@yahoo.com.

A pair of breeders, George and Gracie were in terrible condition when Angie received them.
George came so severely malnourished that he had HLP (hind leg paralysis) and was blind. The first night they were here, Gracie led George to the pouch. Though not in as bad a shape physically, Gracie was very suspicious of humans and did not know how to play.
After weeks of subcutaneous fluids, calcium injections and nutritious diet, George gained weight, gained some motor control and is able to follow light/shadow. Angie designed a special pouch to make it easier for him to get in and out of.
After three months, George gained some motor control and would launch himself toward Angie's voice and Gracie had even begun playing.
George still has a long road ahead, but day-by-day, George and Gracie are learning to trust.
