* If you have not completed the initial survey, please request one by sending an email to sugargroupsurveys@hotmail.com with “survey request” in the subject line.

* If you have received any surveys and have not returned them PLEASE do so ASAP.

* Every time you go to the vet, please take either the “wellness exam” form or the “sick or injured glider” form and have your vet complete it then return it to us.

* Please copy and send to us EVERY lab report, necropsy report or x-ray report you receive. Be sure to request these things if you have lab work or x-rays done on your glider.

* Remember that the necropsy effort is available to assist with some of the cost of necropsies and histopathology work.

* If you have lost a glider in 2009, Remember that you can purchase a memorial square on the 2009 quilt in memory of your glider. The 2008 quilt memorializes 16 of this community’s beloved gliders that crossed the rainbow bridge in 2008. Quilt Squares can be purchased from our website at thesugargroup.org .

* Breeders and rescue homes are encouraged to complete the breeder specific and rescue home specific surveys. If you have not completed these yet, please request them today. If you have, please look for a special email from us in the near future.

* Every little bit of data that you send to us is GREATLY appreciated and makes a difference in our quest to find some answers to the questions this community asks. For the future of our gliders and yours, please continue to send us data and to request surveys. THANK YOU to those of you who continue to send us vet reports and surveys!!!

* We will soon be releasing even more surveys. Please complete those that pertain to you and return them ASAP.

The SUGAR Group remains committed to our mission and vision to improve the future for all gliders through humane research and data collection today!

Bumping...

Ok Brenda I have a couple of questions about these survey's. I would love to help but I'm not sure where I (my gliders) would fit in with filling them out.

1) Most of my gliders are rescues

2) Some were bought

3) I've had 7 neuters done here

4) I've never had any issues, medically or even really psychological

5) 5 joey's oop here, all healthy with no issues either

So my question really would be, Would I have anything to offer to even warrant filling out one of the survey's?

Very much so! We want any and all information regarding all gliders, healthy or otherwise! The more information we get, the better we can learn what the norms are and whatnot.

Ok, then I'll send off for them. I've been wanting too, just wasnt sure if I would have anything to offer for the research.

Don't forget to request your surveys & send 'em back in! Also, we do have a few surveys you can fill out online at http://thesugargroup.org!

If you want to help with our research, please email sugargroupsurveys@hotmail.com to request copies of our surveys. Sugar Gliders and the people who love them will be very appreciative for all your help!!

3) Those with gliders who have received one or more laser therapy treatments

5) Breeders

6) Those with gliders who experience seizures

If you fit into any of these categories and have not already completed our survey or data sheet, PLEASE participate by requesting the specific survey/data sheet through emailing sugargroupsurveys@hotmail.com

We are in need of 100 case studies for each category. EVERY returned survey or data sheet matters and is valuable to us.
