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.
They are working on developing programs to help educate the public on the
proper care, diet, safety, and health. Too 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.
They 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 they are gathering veterinary documentation
outlining the health condition of gliders sold by a mill breeder or
its
vendors.
