Southern Flying Squirrels?


Does anyone here have southern flying squirrels for pets?

I found them online awhile back while doing searches on sugar gliders. I really wanted a pair of sugar gliders, and did research on them for months. However, they are illegal to own in MA where I currently live so I was thinking of maybe getting a pair when I graduate and move out of the state.

But I just found out from Mass Fish and Wildlife that while sugar gliders are illegal, Southern flying squirrels are not.

I need to do a ton more research before even considering one, but I was just curous if anyone else had any? What are they like as pets? Does anyone know of any breeders in MA? I would love to go visit a breeder and see what they're like, but the only breeders I could find online lived in Texas.

Any additional information would be awesome...breeders, websites, anything, because like I said, I'm just starting my research.

I have a flyer, just got her in may actually. I know a breeder here in OH, but that's it, so if you're still interested I can give you his number.
