Adopt A Sugar Glider
Adopting
Adopting a Sugar Glider is a great way to provide a loving home to a pet in need.
Our adoption fee is $450 for a pair or $200 for a single glider. We only adopt out solo gliders to people who already have a glider in need of a cage mate. Joey prices vary depending on coloration, and older gliders are discounted. Please ask about joey availability if you’re looking for joeys.
All of our sugar gliders go to the vet prior to adoption to check for parasites, get their annual wellness check, and if any of them are intact males, they are neutered to prevent joeys. Veterinarian bills usually average around $300-$400 per pair, and are included in the cost of adoption. So you won’t have to take them to the vet for a year.
The first step prior to adoption is to fill out an adoption application.
