Looking for other glider owners and also need to know the exact laws for gliders and Kentucky.

[:"blue"]I KNOW there are other KY glider owners. Possibly they just haven't found this new forum yet <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nixweiss.gif" alt="" />

If you will go to the bottom of the page on click on "links" you will see a category Legal Issues. You can do a search for KY to see what, if any, their restrictions are.

Good to see you here. [/]

Have not heard from any..........

Hi there...well I don't know everything about KY law concerning our suggies...but they are regulated by each County within KY. For example, I lived in Jefferson Co where they are illegal...so the first year I had Zoie and Samson I had little illegal aliens living with me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/roflmao.gif" alt="" />

My hubby and I just moved to Oldham CO where they are legal...I also know that Bullitt and Spencer Cos allow suggies. Hope that helps!

Well,,,Jefferson County IS where I live.Ihave decided to not sell my babies now anyway but I think it is going to be hard for me to find a vet that will neuter the daddy.If anyone can help in that department ,,then let me know.

Hi there folks. I live in Berea. I'm getting my first sugar babies on Saturday. I'm totally new to gliders, but I've been researching like crazy. My babies will have a HUGE home. They are already spoiled and don't know it yet! We're getting more toys in the mail today.
Well, this is my very first post, and I thought it needed to be a Kentucky post. I'm sure I'll be on here A LOT, so hopefully I'll get to know some of you.

[:"blue"] Hey Sami,
My parents live in Danville. I've spent many hours in Berea having lunch when I am there. My mom's favorite place to go. [/]

I live in Whitley Co!!!!! I am the very proud owner of one sugar glider <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/roflmao.gif" alt="" /> If anyone is close by or just wants to chat I will be glad to here from you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cloud9.gif" alt="" />

Hello everyone from Kentucky!!! I live in Campbell County. I have not not heard of any laws reguarding gliders in the area or in KY. I would love to talk to other memebers in Kentucky - <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Gliders are illegal in Covington, as of late last summer. I am not familiar with bans in other N. Kentucky communities.

From time to time we have get togethers in Lexington. We're due for another one soon, so we'll let you know if you're interested in coming!

The wife and I live in Pulaski County and to our knowledge gliders are not illegal <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />. If they are, someone needs to dust off the law book and show me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worried2.gif" alt="" />. Would like to hear from other's to share ideas and diets <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/littleglider.gif" alt="" />. And who knows, some day we might all be able to get together so our gliders can show us off <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/party.gif" alt="" />. That would be an experience <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yelclap.gif" alt="" />

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to respond to the question of vets who will care for Gliders. I called around, but found nothing in my immediate area. The best option within quite some distance of Louisville that I have heard of is located at this office: Jefferson Animal Hospital
They respond well via e-mail or phone.
WIll neuter for about $150 and do checkups for around $60.

Hi everyone from KY. I live in the Bullitt County area. Very close to Louisville. I didn't know they were illigal anywhere in KY. But I take my babies to Jefferson Animal Hospital, they are great. The Exotic doctor is a lady and she loves gliders. I go to the one on Bardstown rd. but she is at both places at different days. It would be nice to get everyone from KY together to meet sometime.

He, drrosebud! Haven't seen you in awhile. We are overdue for a get-together soon. After the SGGA, we should work on that.

The places I know in KY that they are not legal are Covington, Bowling Green, and Butler County.

I live in Middlesboro, Kentucky. Does anyone know if sugar gliders are illegal here?

Austin
[]nita@wwgap.net[/]

I used to live in Russel Springs.

I live in Bell County Kentucky. Are sugar gliders legal there?

I'm not sure about Middlesboro -- there's a chance they aren't legal there -- they're illegal in Bowling Green. You should check with the city ordinances regarding exotic pets, or maybe just start by calling animal control and asking them who you would call to find out. Sometimes the laws are actually online.

I'm pretty sure that there are no regulations in Bell County that would keep you from owning gliders.

Okay. So I can not make the SGGA this year <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> but I could make a Lexington trip <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />. So who's going to let me know when the next Lexington get together is? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
By the way, I am located in Calloway county. For non-natives (such as myself who couldn't tell you where any one of the above mentioned counties are <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shakehead.gif" alt="" />) I live in Murray.

Hello, im in Falmouth, just wanting to know if there are any good petstores that carry any glider stuff around here?

I have a small colony in Pendleton Co. Ky

hi, we are in carrollton ky... am now proudly owned by 11 gliders (2 just oop aug 25) a papillon, a german shepherd, 4 kittens (till tomorrow when hopefully they all go to new homes) and a mama cat (due to be spayed on the 9th (she came with the house *lol*))

Cecilia, Radcliff, Ky...okay to have em here! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> (near Ft. Knox)

Jefferson county? Illegal? vets there take care of them...LOTS of people have gliders in Jefferson county..that's Louisville.

I live in Richmond Kentucky. I have a pair of the sweet little fuzz balls

Their is a really good gluder vet in Lexington Ky. His name is Craig Blair 223-5215 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yelclap.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumb.gif" alt="" />

Hello. I am wanting to get a glider, but I don't know where to get one from around here. Plus are they still considered illegal to have in Jefferson County? Please help. Jan

I haven't heard anything about them being illegal in Jefferson County...and if they were, I don't think the vets here would treat them IN Jefferson county. I'm going to be taking my babies to the Shively Animal Hospital. Mary Jane is the vet there who sees suggies and they are highly reputable! (been around a LOOOONG time, hense their office being in a not-so-great part of town) I would take them to the Jefferson Animal Hospital but their prices were out-freeking-rageous compared to MJ's. Hers were like $20 for an office visit and $50 for a neuter. Trust me, I would RATHER go to the Jefferson Animal because it's right around the corner from my house, but I think they thrive on the fact that they are in the "East" end of town.

Anywho! I'm a new sugga momma in Louisville! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

See the post in regs. They aren't illegal in Jefferson Co.

There illegal in Jefferson Co? I'm getting my sg from Jefferson County. Oh well, it doesn't really matter to me...I live in Bullitt county.

Bethany

I live in Whitley County!!!!

They aren't illegal in Jefferson county. The best vets are there at Jefferson Animal Hospital open 24/7. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

OK, just making sure.
It's the Jefferson Animal Hospital East, right? That's the vet I will be going to.

Hey, I'm from Kenton County, Norther Kentucky. Hope they're legal here because I'd never get rid of my baby!

Hi, CaitlinJo! Welcome to GC! It's so good to see another Kentuckian on here!

Legallity (is that a word?) of gliders in Kentucky depends on you're location. They are illegal in either Bardstown or E-town (can't remember which), but apart from that, I haven't heard anything else.

Again, welcome to GC!

--------------------
Edited to correct something.

Just wanted to say hi from central KY. I have one glider boy that I call Cosmo. Any suggestions on vets to get him neutered? Also I would like to get him a friend someday. I was thinking maybe a rescue glider. Is there anyone in KY that works with rescues?

I am from Bowling Green Ketucky, Southern kentucky

Hi!

I got Cosmo from the Bowling Green area. I live a little over an hour from there - near Campbellsville.

Whoa! Two new Kentucky glider owners! Nice to meet you!

Cosmo, hi! I don't know of any vets in either the Bowling Green or Campbellsville area (I don't live around there). I do know that Jefferson Animal Hospital in Louisville takes sugar gliders. I don't know of any rescues in Kentucky.

SquirrelBandit, hello!

BethySue - thanks for the info! My vet said he would see him and said that if it was something he couldn't handle he would refer me immediately to a vet in Louisville - So I wouldn't be surprised if that was Jefferson.

Well if anyone does hear of any gliders in need here in KY, please let me know!

Cosmo, there are several vets in Lexington who are really good.

Pennyroyal Small & Exotic Animal Hospital has two - Dr. Zaffarano ("Dr. Z.") has been an exotic vet for years, and knows and has worked with hundreds of gliders. She has an assistant now who's new in the practice, but I've found to be really good, too - her name is Dr. Walker. They're located off of Southland Drive.

Also, while I've never been to Dr. Craig Blair, a lot of people really think he's great, too. He's located off of Clays Mill Rd.

BTW, it's Butler County (bordering Louisville) where gliders are illegal - not Jefferson County itself.

Hi Lucy,

Thanks for the help. However, Louisville is actually a bit closer drive for me than Lexington. Louisville is about an hour and 20 minutes while lexington is almost 2.

Ok, if there aren't any rescues in KY, are there any breeders?

i live in bowling green, ky....is there anyone else around these parts?

I'm about an hour away.

I am new here and (as of yet) I don't own any but I've been scanning the net for a while studying gliders. I am just waiting til I move (which could be up to a year) to actually get one. But the Elizabethtown pet store had a suggie for sale about a couple of weeks ago so I am sure they are not Illegal in Hardin Co. which is good. Just thought I would let everyone know. oh and I love reading posts about stories. I've been wanting one for a couple of years now

Welcome Spiralmoon! Great to see another KY person. Maybe in a year I will have some Joey's looking for a home as I just put a down payment on a girl. Be be warned, they are addictive!

That would be nice I would like to get a female, maybe two (I am not much on the spraying part and I can't convince myself to get a male fixed as I am a guy .

Hello everyone from Kentucky, I am a new memember here and just got my baby the other day shes a 14 week old cinnamon sugar glider, I live in Bardstown, about 25 miles or so from Louisville. I am very excited and i just wanted to say that i am a proud new owner in Kentucky.
Thanks
Amy

I am living in Cincinnati right now, but am from Kenton county and plan on moving back in the next few months. Even though its just the other side of the river, its SO different! I would love to go to a glider get together some time - make sure to let us know when the next is!!!

~Kate

Hi I live in Burlington ky Boone county.I have 10 gliders.My vet is colrain animal clinic.They have 2 ex. vets.I like the girl best.They have a clinic in Ft. Wright Ky.

Welcome to all the new Kentucky people!!

Hi everyone, I too am from Kentucky. I own 3 gliders, one of which was abused from a previous owner. I would like one more, preferably a female, but would consider a really sweet male.

I'm in Somerset, and my friend sells gliders for Sugar Gliders "R" Us. I help her out and if anyone needs any help just let us know and we'll help you out any way we can.

i am new here and just found this post i am from franklin ky it is 25 min south of bowlinggreen i have 14 gliders most of which are rescues and i do have some joeys in pouch and i have 2 /5 week oop babies i am here to help in the glider world the best i can and i am usally posting on usgn and meet some people from here at the TN gathering and made some life long friends there

Cinnamom - I got Cosmo from the same people!

HI! I didn't know there were any suggie owner's in Kentucky. It took me months to find my baby. I'm from Morehead, Ky. Nice to see there are some other kentuckians out there with gliders.

Im from Bowling Green!!!! I will be getting my sugar glider in about 6 weeks. There is a poss i might get a older baby in about 2 weeks!!! I cant wait. Glad to see other fellow bg people!!

Hey! I'm from Laurel County. I recently got 2 suggies. Just wanted to say hello.

HI! I'm from Morehead (Rowan Co.) This is a really great site if you have any questions just ask. Ashley

Hey! I'm Becky and I live just north of Bowling Green, KY. Looks like there are several other people in this area. I don't have a glider yet, but I'm hoping to be able to get one shortly. Just wanted to say hi!

Becky

Hey i am from Bowling Green. Where u getting your glider from?

So many new members to Welcome from KY!
To all of ya! WELCOME TO GC, we are happy to have you here. Please don't hesitate to ask questions, there is always someone here that can help.
Congratulations everyone on your upcoming and your new additions....Welcome to the world of Glideritis!!!!

I'm not sure where I'm getting one from yet. I'd like to find one that needs a new home instead of buying from a breeder, but nothing is set in stone. Any suggestions?

Hi again Becky. I will tell you that it is very hard to find one for adoption. I had troulbe just getting one from a breeder. Has Troy emailed you back yet? He sells at a really good price. I know of a few other breeders if he can't help you but I don't know any up for adoption right now.

If you're willing to drive I have seen alot up for adoption in surrounding states, especially Ohio.

Here is a link to some in Lexington. These gliders are 6 months old but the price is still a little steep.
http://www.kentuckyclassifiednetwork.com/classifieds/?loc=detail&main=Pets

Thanks for the link, but that's a little more than I want to spend to "adopt" a glider.

I'm sure I'll find something within a reasonble distance (I don't mind a little drive) soon enough. I'm in no big hurry.

Thanks again,
Becky

Oh, and I haven't heard back from Troy yet. I'm sure he'll get back with me soon!

New KY poster here,

I am in a tiny town in Russell County KY. I do all my shopping in Pulaski County that is were I got one of my gliders. I think this part of the country wouldn't care if you had a elephant, no laws that I know of!

Hi to all you fellow Blugrass glider family members!

I'm in Erlanger KY. May as well be Ohio we're so close to it. Hence, the "Greater Cincinnati Area".

I am a new sugar glider owner in Morehead Kentucky! I have a few friends who have sugar gliders too! I am curious about laws on owning gliders here? Anyone know? My sister in law is a vet in Waddy Ky. Anyone sell supplies near where I live?
Wanda

I live in Paducah, KY which is McCracken county. As far as I know they aren't illegal here. I have rehomes right now that I am trying to find homes for but am getting my permanent babies around beginning of Dec. I can't wait!

Hello?!

I can't help but post here even though in March I moved to North Carolina - I grew up in northern KY.

Lived in Kenton and Boone county and am familiar with the area. There was, maybe still is, an exotic pet store locally owned and operated in Erlanger off of Dixie Hwy that sold gliders -- www.exoticpa.com I think, they were very nice but I haven't been there since I moved.
Also own a cabin down in Burnside by Lake Cumberland, right at the south fork in the river, outside of Somerset and about 10 exits down from Berea.

I miss KY!

Hello! I am in Nicholasville, but i'm originally from Somerset. I have a 10 week oop female. When I bought her I thought she was hand tamed, but she wasn't. I don't have the the skill or time to hand tame her, so I'm trying to adopt her out to a good, loving home for $150. This is a great price for her. I would like to adopt an older suggie that is hand tamed. I love her dearly, but she won't even let me touch her and since I'm so inexperienced with gliders, she needs a better home. anyone interested should email me at rhonda.bingham@ky.gov, or call me at 859-881-1637 or 606-305-9491. I am willing to drive to deliver, within a reasonable distance!

I meant to email you back and haven't had a chance yet. Sorry! Have you tried the tent time yet? That really works wonders on the bonding process! I felt like Scrat was never going to bond to me but it just seems like it takes a long time because you want it to happen so bad. There are many different things you can try. The things that worked best for me is carrying Scrat in a bonding pouch, using scent patches, and tent time. I wont lie it did take a lot of hard work and it was very time consuming but in the end having a sweet spoiled suggie baby is worth it. I will give you some helpful advice on getting an older one. Alot of times (not always) people sell or give the older ones away because they don't have time for them. Hence they have probably never bonded to their owner or been tamed down. Also even with an older glider who has been bonded before may still take some work bonding to you. Just be careful when you adopt or purchase an older glider. Maybe spend an hour a day for a few days with the glider before purchasing it. Some owners will let you do this. This way you have a small idea of the glider's personality. Just do what best fits you. I prefer a glider who takes work. I know that sounds crazy but I like that rewarding feeling you get when you've worked on something. Now I have a friend who prefers hers to already be tame. She wants something she can cuddle on right from the start! I can't blame you or her though, it is really hard when you bring home your glider and feel like they hate you in the beginning. lol If you decide to sell your baby girl good luck with everything. I would buy her but I have a male and I don't want babies. I'm getting him neutered soon but it will be a while. If you decide to keep her, stay in touch with me and I'll try to help you as best as I can with advice.

We get busy, that's okay!

I actually did try tent time, but she stayed huddled in a corner every single time. She hears me near her cage, and she starts crabbing. I wonder if I'm petting her too soon? I have done everything you've mentioned. I hold her through the pouch and fold it down so I can get to her, and I pet her. She crabs, and doesn't act like she's happy, but she doesn't try to bite. Should I stop that, and just do the hand feeding until she comes to me?

I also think she likes my 9 year old. Whenever she hears her voice, she calms down and comes out of her pouch to investigate. (see my posting about chaos and bonding/taming).

I have two from a lady in Indiana who doesn't have time to devote to hers anymore, they are about 10 mos old and I'm going to see them this weekend. Hopefully it will work out, and I can introduce them to Bingo and learn how to handle the suggies with them and practice techniques for Bingo. We'll definitely stay in touch.

Hi, I live in Burlinton ky.If any one would like to chat my email is Ellensaten@hotmail.com

I live in Campbell County. I've had one sugar glider for about 6 weeks and the other for one week.

We also have two dogs, two guinea pigs and three kids (children, not goats).

glad to see so many from Kentucky. Was starting to wander since it was so hard to find a vet in the area.

Have a great day, all!

Hi everyone.......I live in Lincoln County. Glad to know there are other Kentuckians here,lol.

HI Karen......I'm only about 10 minutes away from Danville. Maybe I've run into your parents at sometime time or another...maybe in good ole Wally World,LOL.

Hi Everyone! My husband and I are due to be new suggie parents in mid to late February! We live in Kenton Co. KY! Just wanted to drop a line and say we will be needing lots of support and the closer the better! LOL.

So I live in TN, but sometimes I go to my grandparents in Kettle Island/Bell County area. Is anyone for sure about gliders in this area. From the way it looks, there are some people who own gliders illegaly (it isn't their fault) and I was wandering if anyone was sure about this area. I don't want the police bustin down the door when we visit and bring the gliders.

I live in KY! Can't believe all the kentuckians on here. Wow.

I just wish we all weren't so far apart!

Just be aware that they are illegal in Covington - so be careful in N. Kentucky. But GliderGuy93, you should be fine in Bell Co.

Thanks

Does anyone know of any places in Somerset that sells glider supplies?

Thanks,

Kim

Hi my name is Ellen and I live in Burlington Ky. Boone County.I have alot of little fur butts that I love dearly.Plus I make cage pouchs cheap and fleece vines and a few toys If anyone who like to contact me even to chat for a while my email is ellensaten@hotmail.com or 859-653-2732

I don't think there are any vendors in southeastern Kentucky - you'd be better off ordering them from respected vendors here and having them shipped to you! I really don't trust supplies I find in pet stores (Peggy's store is an exception!!).

Welcome, Ellen!

I live in Warren County

Pauline955 What part of warren county i ive in Bowling Green.

Sugar gliders r us has a booth in the flea market, and I know they have been a source of some heated debates here on GC, but this is where I bought Bingo and Pauline is wonderful. The booth is clean, the gliders are well cared for, she has some of the sweetest, tamest babies I've seen, and she has just about anything you could want, toys, treats, staple food, pouches. She also does nail trims for only $5. Every weekend I go in there with Bingo, and he goes right to her and the pouch she wears -- he remembers that's where her treats are.

Which flea market is that bingo? I live near Danville.

I know there are some in the flea markets here in KY that I've been to. I can't find any little girls though. I'm trying to find one, but can't seem to find one anywhere! Anyone know any near Louisville??

IT's not the flea market down in Burnside. If you're going down 27, just past the mall, turn left onto 914. It's the big indoor flea market, I think it's called lake cumberland flea market, it's on the right.

Suggielover, Pauline has girls down in Somerset, I could get one and bring it to Lexington with me if you're interested.

How old are the girls?

I got my 2 girls from a lady,i think she lives around burnside. but she was in the process of moving to liberty(which is like 15 minutes from). She's not really a breader, (her 7 year old daughter thought their male was lonely,so she put him in the cage with the females,lol.) When i got mine, she had 2 other females that wasn't ready to go yet. But if you're interested i call give her a call & see if she still has them? Let me know,ok.

I'm very interested. My sister got a glider for her birthday, and it died. So, I'm looking for another for her, and that sounds perfect. Pm me about it...
