Once you feel that you fulfill all of these:  Here is what you do!

Please send in a listing of your current breeding pairs, pictures of your glider areas, including play rooms. 

Please send:

  • A recommendation letter from your veterinarian
  • a listing of your menu
  • your enrichment schedule  
  • Who is in charge of your gliders when you are out of town?
  • what is your cleaning schedule and standard operating procedure for cleaning your cages?
  • Your vet schedule? 
  • Do you also rescue? 
  • Do you have quarantine, please send pictures as well for that.
  • Copy of your USDA License

    USDA recommends having a Standard Operating Procedure for rescues, you may want to come up with one for your inspector.

    When you finish your application and we review your information, we will contact you for an interview, and let you know if you are a WSGN Certified Breeder!

    Thanks for wanting to get certified, we hope to recommend our Certified Breeders to people looking for a GOOD MORAL breeder!
