Sugar Gliders in Qld?

[Rachelw]

Hey everyone! I am interested in having a pair of sugar gliders, but I live in Queensland and I've heard we are unable to unless we have a Demonstrators license. Is this true? Is there any other way to own a pair without that specific license? How much does it end up costing?

Thank you!

only LEGAL way is demo license....

I rang up Derm about what licenses there are that allows me to have them as pets, and they said I can't keep mammals in Queensland. So not even the demonstrators license?

Is there anyone who lives in Queensland that has sugar gliders?

A couple years ago a guy named frank (the bibly guy) came with a bibly, so I guess there is a way if he had a bibly.

Stundent? Just kidding. You are doing better than a lot of twelve year olds if you are keeping reptiles. A blighter is an irritating person.

another more intelligent sided young one, thankyou for being in the same position as me haha.

 

[Rachelw]

Thank you! Is there any cheap way of obtaining a demonstrators license?

 

[Rachelw]

I have just found a new possible way of a cheaper permit for sugar gliders.

"Recreational wildlife licence for animals - additional fee if the licence is for restricted animals under the Nature Conservation Act"
Recreational wildlife licence - for adding restricted animals to a licence granted for animals other than restricted animals under the Nature Conservation Act (Department of Environment and Resource Management)

Does it sound like that would allow me to have sugar gliders as they are a 'restricted' animal?

Thanks now I can use blighter and sound even smarter!

If you had read the information you linked you would have noticed that there are no 'restricted' mammals in the schedule of animals able to be kept on a recreational licence - only birds and reptiles. The information is all there, all you need to do is read and comprehend

Thank you all for your help!

What entails a demonstrators permit other than paying additional fees?

 

[champagne]
