We are the SuGAR Group. Sugar Glider Advanced Research Group.
The SUgar Glider Advanced Research Group is a registered non-profit organization dedicated to the study and research of all matters concerning sugar glider anatomy, physiology, husbandry and relationships. We are a group of dedicated volunteers and consultants from both the online sugar glider community and from outside of this community.
Our current and ongoing
projects include:
* The collection of data through necropsy reports, lab reports, x-ray reports
and histopathology reports.
* The collection of data through the use of our veterinary wellness check forms
& injured/ill glider forms.
* The dispersement and collection of surveys pertaining to illness, injuries,
standards of practice, medication use, breeding and breeding gliders, seizures,
anal glad impaction, facial abscess, necropsy results, rescue practices/census,
enrichment, average glider statistics, broken bones, the use of the antibiotic
Convenia and the use of laser therapy treatments.
* The creation and dispersement of educational materials targeted toward
veterinarians, veterinary practices & owners involved in rehabilitation of an
injury or illness.
* Colaboration with a couple of vets to write articles for publication in
professional journals
* The NECROPSY EFFORT, which provides partial re-imbursement to owners who have
a necropsy and/or histopathology conducted on their deceased glider.
* Consultation and collaboration with individuals responsible for the
organization of exotic veterinary conferences across the nation
We continue to develop new surveys, new data collection methods, new contacts in
the veterinary world, and new projects which will benefit glider owners and
gliders across the world.
