Well. if you are on any of the glider sites you have no doubt heard the news about St. Paul, MN BANNING sugar gliders. Their reasoning is ridiculous. There IS a problem with people unprepared people buying these awesome animals... and that SHOULD be addressed (for their benefit!)... but they do NOT release the gliders to become wild animals attacking people as they run through the city. GOOD CRAP PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS!!!! If this is new news to you, well, you can read about it here: http://www.startribune.com/local/stpaul/12839087.htmlThoughts?

I am just glad I do not live there.
We should make a petition. Do you think it would help?

unless you pay for heating in the winter it would not be a good idea to put your glider at risk of freezing to death. that's why they are restricted in most western states.
btw does anyone know a site where it lists the states that restrict them. i've searched and all i got was a list of numbers to call to see if they are. if you're on the east coast you're fine, just not up north, or west.

Well, at least GEORGIA may be in luck... SOMEDAY! Quote: Bill seeks to sweeten deal for sugar glider owners 02/29/08 Morris News ServiceATLANTA – What do opossums and sugar gliders have in common? They're both marsupials, and they're both considered wild animals in Georgia. But only one winds up as roadkill – and hopefully it's not the sugar glider. Sugar gliders are a small, flying squirrel-like animal that people like to keep as pets. A bill authored by Sen. John Bulloch, R-Ochlocknee, would allow people to buy the critters from Down Under without paying for a $236 wild animal permit each year. All but four states – Hawaii, California, Pennsylvania and Georgia – have legalized sugar gliders as pets in one way or another, Bulloch said. A sugar glider owner would have to prove that the animal came from a seller inspected by the United States Department of Agriculture. To aid his bill, Bulloch brought two of the five-ounce pets to the Capitol on Wednesday, but not without permits, the senator said. "We got a green card for them," he quipped.
