Sugar Gliders in California

Question

I know sugar gliders are illegal, but ive seen some around.

But who in the right mind would snitch on someone for a little

sugar glider?

So is it safe to get one if it stays inside or something.

Answer 1

There are reasons it is illegal to bring animals into an area that has such a law. I would say, no, it probably isn't. If it was safe, there wouldn't be a law. Besides. Think about the well-being of the animal before your own desire to have one just because they're cute.

Answer 2

If it's illegal don't get one because you could get caught.

Answer 3

No, it's not safe. If caught you'll end up paying a hefty fine, and fines for ferrets run around $1,000, and the animal will more than likely be put to sleep. So please don't get one just because you want one, because it may be the glider that pays with it's life. If it did stay inside, what if it got sick and you needed to take it to the vet? I wouldn't risk it. For your sake and the glider's, please don't.

Answer 4

i thought tht sugar gliders were not considered wild i live in fl and you can get sugar gliders without a permit i am geting a capuchin monkey and i need a permit for tht but sugar gliders are fine here

and if you do get caught they will take a way your pet and mabe fine you but i no alot of ppl who get animals without permits  and they didnt  get caught
