✨ Welcome, Leo 🦁 ✨

Leo is a 9-year-old sugar glider who recently lost his cage mate. Heartbroken and alone, he began self-mutilating, chewing on his own toes. His owner took him to the vet and made the difficult decision to surrender him to us so we could help him heal and find him some friends.

It always hurts to watch someone say goodbye to a glider they love, but I always remind them—they can check in anytime, and one thing is guaranteed: their glider will never be alone again.

Despite everything he’s been through, Leo is such a sweet boy—though he’s got quite the bite when he doesn’t like something! He’s definitely got some s***k left in him. At his age and with his disability, he will likely become a part of our sanctuary unless someone steps up to give him a forever home.

For now, he’s safe, he’s loved, and soon, he’ll have a new family to call his own.

If you’d like to support Leo and the other gliders in our care, donations are always appreciated! 💛

Meet Frankie – Our Little Hulk in Need of Help!

Frankie is part of a colony of four sweet boys who came to us from Georgia, along with four females and two joeys in pouch. To prevent unexpected litters, the males and females were separated upon arrival. However, months have passed, and the boys are still waiting to be neutered.

It’s time to start chipping away at this important step so these lovable boys can find their forever homes!

Can Frankie count on your support? His sponsorship is $250, which will help cover his neuter and care. Every donation, big or small, makes a difference!

🔔 🔔 Adorable merman incoming! 🔔 🔔

When we told Mellow that one of our viewers had a lifelong wish to see a mermaid, he took his mission to heart. And we think he absolutely nailed it! What a good boy Mellow is!

Don’t forget, this good boy and his cage mate are still waiting for neuter sponsorship!!

Meet Mellow and Graham!

These two sweet boys are pending adoption, but before that can happen, they both need to be neutered. We’re asking for your support to help cover their vet care—each boy needs an initial vet visit and neuter, which costs $250 EACH.

If you’d like to sponsor Mellow and Graham, any amount is greatly appreciated! Please include their names with your donation so we can direct your gift accordingly.

Thank you for supporting these boys and the life-saving rescue work we do! We couldn’t do any of this without you. ❤️

✨ Help Us Name These Three Rescued Gliders! ✨

Sunday night, we pulled three sugar gliders from Lansing, Michigan, after learning they would die if no one stepped in. They had been living in a tiny carrier for at least a week. One of our amazing volunteers happened to be visiting family nearby and was able to grab them just in time.

We don’t know much about their past—only that they were left with someone who wasn’t equipped to care for them. The trio consists of two females and one male. Unfortunately, the little boy has a severe infection in his face and eye. He’s currently on antibiotics and eye ointment while we wait for a vet appointment, hopefully tomorrow. The two girls both appear to have joeys in pouch.

We’d love the community’s help in naming them! We need at least a name for the little boy before his vet visit in the morning. Drop your suggestions in the comments! 💬🐾

📋 Tidbit Tuesday: Neutering Sugar Gliders: What You Should Know 🩺

Neutering your sugar glider has several benefits:

🛑 Prevent Unplanned Breeding: Essential for those not experienced in breeding or unsure of their gliders' lineage, as improper breeding can lead to severe issues.
👃 Reduce Odor: Neutering significantly lessens the strong scent produced by intact males.
⚠️ Improve Behavior: Neutering can help reduce aggression, even among bonded gliders. While two intact males, even brothers, may live peacefully together for years, dominance issues can arise unexpectedly, leading to violent fights. In the wild, sugar gliders can leave their colony to avoid such conflicts, but in captivity, they don’t have the option to leave. Neutering helps eliminate these risks, ensuring a safer and more harmonious environment.
❤️ Health Benefits: Neutering prevents health issues such as prolapse and testicular cancer, while also decreasing the risk of other serious complications.
Types of Neuters:

Pom-Off Neuter:

⚡ Laser: The preferred method, as it reduces bleeding and promotes faster healing.
🏥 Cauterizing: Similar to laser, it seals the wound effectively with minimal complications.
🩹 Scalpel: A traditional method that can involve glue or stitches, which may lead to self-mutilation if the glider interferes with the site. Avoid if possible. If necessary, glue is preferred, but stitches should be avoided entirely.

Pom-On Neuter:

⚽️🏀Leaves the pom (scrotal sac) intact, which can lead to quicker recovery if a ligation method is used. This approach avoids the use of glue or stitches on the outside, reducing the risk of the glider messing with the surgical site. Glue or stitches on the outside should be avoided whenever possible.

Pre-Op Tips:

🍽️ Feed and Hydrate: Make sure your glider is well-fed and hydrated before the procedure, and do not fast them. Sugar gliders have a high metabolism and should never go without food or water before surgery.
🎒 Be Prepared: Have protective restraints, such as a foam e-collar, an e-jacket, or, if absolutely necessary, a satellite collar, on hand. While issues are less likely with laser or cauterizing neuters, it’s still best to be prepared for any challenges.
🗣️ Talk to Your Vet: Have a detailed discussion with your vet to ensure you’re comfortable with their practices. Knowledge is power! It’s always better to have a good understanding of the procedure before meeting with your vet.

Post-Op Care:

👀 Monitor Closely: Keep a close eye on your glider and ensure they’re comfortable.
🏠 Returning to the Cage: If they’re not bothering the incision site, they can usually return to their regular cage the same night. Some people prefer using a hospital cage for the first night as a precaution.
❌ Use Restraints Only When Necessary: Only use protective restraints if the glider is going after the incision, as unnecessary use can stress the glider further.

❗️ Three Lives Saved Tonight in Lansing, MI 💔

Tonight, one of our incredible volunteers was in the right place at the right time when I reached out about three sugar gliders in desperate need. Thanks to her quick action, these sweet gliders are now safe and on their way to a better life.

They were found living in the smallest travel carrier cage—a heartbreaking and completely unsuitable situation. The male is in rough shape, suffering from a severe facial abscess and significant dental disease. His journey to recovery will be a long one, but we’re hopeful that with the right care, he’ll pull through.

We also believe that one of the females has a joey in pouch, adding even more urgency to ensure this family receives the care they desperately need.

The gliders will stay in Michigan for the next few weeks for stabilization and initial treatment. After that, they’ll make their way to Sugar Haven, where we’ll continue their care. This will include vet checks for all three, a neuter for the male, and likely dental surgery to address his ongoing issues.

These gliders have been through so much, but tonight marks a turning point in their lives. If you’d like to help us provide the critical care they need, donations can be made via:

📩 PayPal: [email protected]
📲 Venmo:
💳 Credit Card: (link available upon request)

Your support makes it possible for us to step in for gliders like these. Thank you for helping us give them the love and care they deserve. ❤️

Exciting update! I’ve reunited Bonnie and Claudia with their friend Iggy after his neuter, and it didn’t take long to see the dynamic between them. Claudia and Iggy are clearly a couple—Claudia can’t get enough of her man! Meanwhile, Bonnie seems happy to do her own thing and even came over to hang out with me. It’s heartwarming to see these three back together again! This adorable trio is available for adoption. If you’re interested, please fill out an application here: https://forms.gle/hiFLnVZ4EEtyS3cD8. Let’s find them the perfect home!

🤍This is Appa! 🤍 He’s looking for a sponsor so he can be neutered and eventually find his forever home. Once neutered, he’ll be able to have a friend to keep him company. He absolutely loves his wheel, spending all day and night on it, but he’s feeling lonely right now and has been over-grooming. He’s the sweetest boy ever and deserves a happy life!

Iggy

Iggy wants to say a huge THANK YOU to his sponsor!

Iggy

****UPDATE**** A wonderful supporter (who I won’t call out because I didn’t ask her if I could) sponsored Iggy’s neuter! He’s now booked and a step closer to his forever home! What a sweet boy he is. Just love him. Wish I could keep him. #sugarhavenrescue #glidercommunity #SugarGliderRescue #rescuelife #gliderloveforever

💔 A Heartbreaking Farewell to Jack Jack 💔 This morning, we had to make the incredibly difficult decision to say goodbye to Jack Jack, one of the gliders in our care in Kentucky. Despite weeks of treatment and giving him all the love and care possible, his condition wasn’t improving. Over the past few days, he stopped eating entirely, and we knew the kindest thing we could do was to let him go peacefully.Our hearts go out to his amazing foster mom, who gave him so much love and fought tirelessly for him every step of the way. Her dedication to his care is a testament to the compassion and selflessness it takes to help gliders in need.Jack Jack’s story is a reminder of how vital it is to prioritize regular fecal tests and to feed an appropriate, balanced diet. These small but essential steps can make a world of difference in their health and quality of life.We are heartbroken to lose him but take comfort in knowing that Jack Jack was surrounded by love until the very end. Please keep his foster mom in your thoughts today and give your own gliders some extra love in his memory.Glide free, Jack Jack. You’ll be deeply missed. #SugarGlider #GliderLove #SugarGliderCare #RescueLife #AnimalRescue #GliderCommunity #PetCareMatters #GlideFree #ExoticPets #SugarGliderRescue #GliderLoveForever #InLovingMemory #AnimalAdvocacy #BalancedDiet #PetHealthAwareness #SugarHavenRescue #SugarHaven #Giardia
