    UMM, UMM, UMM, UMM……
    That’s ALL I hear from Her! She is very Difficult to listen to when every other word is UMMM… and if she wants to make a Professional and/ or Knowledgeable Impression She needs to edit her videos before she post them. How can I take her Seriously if she sounds like a Kid That Can’t make up Her Mind! She has Potential don’t get me wrong!! But UMMMM…..”Elizabeth” please work on your Presentations and UMMMM… then We can take you Seriously!”

    Don’t listen to this woman. Some of her words are true, but majority are not, as seen in other videos about sugargliders she’s made that supposedly contain expert knowledge.

    If you want the true facts, go to sugarbears (dot) com or visit sugarglidervet’s youtube channel.

    ok this lady is SOOOOO-OOO wrong ive seen her other videos about sugar gliders anyone who watches this video dont listen to her. all sugar gliders will crab and no matter what, a sugar glider will make noise. and if u want real info google it or use wiki cuz she is so wrong. and pet stores are okay

  11. 541BOI says:

    Not all true… all gliders will crab when you first get them.they just have to bond with the owner-owers.Also some pet stores owners have or had gliders befor and im pretty sure they know what to do…do alot of research befor getting one..Thant a big thing to do befor you go out and buy one or more.

  12. princessnamm says:

    ahh no no no, she is wrong, all gliders will crab at you when you first get them because they dont know you, that is in no way grounds to not buy a glider. instead you should ask how the glider is bonded with its current owner, the bonding process will take up to 1 maybe even 2 months especially if its an adult glider, joeys tend to bond very quickly

  13. SouthShooter says:

  14. modder03 says:

    I have just agreed to buy 2 females from an owner who bought them for his children who have since gotten bored of them. They’re both a year old and will be my first gliders. I’ve researched their care requirments so much and really dont think they are being cared for as fully as they should be where they are now. Cant wait to get them and give them the nutrition and exercise that they actually need!

  20. aaronstonestump64 says:

    skatman572-I’m getting mine from a petstore. I wouldn’t trust just any pet store though. The one I’m going to is owned by a guy (Marc Morrone) who has his own littleshow on a news channel where he talks about animals and how to care for them. Its called Parrots of the World. Its on Long Island.

  23. skatman572 says:
