 My
name is Jennifer Bender, primary caregiver and slave to all our
beautiful animals. I am a busy mother of a beautiful daughter. I have many hobbies including sewing,
web-design, photography, and caring for all my beautiful animals to name
a few. I also attend college full time at Youngstown State University.
We reside in the quiet rural town of Dorset, Ohio, which is
about 1 1/2 hours east of Cleveland, Ohio and about 1 hour north of
Youngstown, Ohio. Our entire family has always enjoyed being around
animals from a young age. I am glad to see our daughter has the same
love and respect for animals. Morgan, our adorable daughter, helps me
raise and handle all of our little animals everyday. I want the best for
all of the animals that leave our home, and screen each potential owner
to ensure that. Each animal we raise is loved, and is instantly part of
our family. We have also become an unofficial rescue, as we will never
turn away a sugar glider or hedgehog in need of a home or proper care.
We are a family operated USDA licensed breeder of Sugar gliders.
This is my hobby, but at the same time it
tends to be a full time job. I spend a lot of time educating potential
owners, maintaining our web sites, making toys for my wonderful animals,
and caring for them. My daughter and I spend several hours each day
bonding, handling, and playing with all of our animal friends and their
babies. Specializing in sugar glider color variations, we are currently
working with white faces, leucistic, cinnamons, champagnes, and white
tips. Our goal is to establish strong bloodlines and breed new and
unique color variations while maintaining excellent records to track
bloodlines. Not only do we consider color and genetics when pairing all
of our animals, but temperament as well. I am a firm believer that
temperament in partially inherited and partly learned from the parents.
Not only does this apply for sugar gliders, but in all animals.
Although, by handling, love, and patience, I believe most behavior
problems can be corrected.
In addition to our sugar gliders we also have a bunch of other animals
including 3 dogs (1 mixed breed and 2 chihuahuas), 1 bird (yellow-sided
conure), 2 flying squirrels (southern), some fish, and several chickens!
