Southern Sweet Suggies

Southern Sweet Suggies, sugar gliders, Abilene, Texas, is a family-operated breeder serving Taylor County and West Texas near Lubbock. With more than ten years of hands-on experience, Elizabeth Ferguson is a member of the US Sugar Glider Association and follows its best practices for dental inspections, parasite screenings, and regular veterinary wellness exams. Young gliders live in spacious, climate-controlled enclosures outfitted with climbing branches, exercise wheels, and nesting pouches where daily enrichment sessions and gentle handling guide early social development.

Each sugar glider benefits from a balanced diet of fresh fruits, botanical extracts, and specialized pellets aligned with avian nutrition standards, with weekly weigh-ins and growth tracking to ensure healthy progress. Socialization begins within the first week, encouraging curiosity and trust through gentle play and interaction before placement in new homes. These measures reflect a deep respect for the species’ needs and support long-term well-being for every glider that joins another loving household. Bloodlines are selected to promote balanced temperament and health across generations. Communication with new owners includes photos and progress reports as gliders develop, fostering transparency and trust.
