Female Sugar Glider, 7 months old - $225

Female Sugar Glider, 7 months old 1 thumbnailFemale Sugar Glider, 7 months old 2 thumbnail
I have a female sugar glider which is looking for a forever home.

PLEASE READ FIRST!
When she was young, she frequently dashed out of the cage, forcing me to chase her around to prevent her from getting hurt as I have two small dogs and two cats (none of my pets have ever been aggressive towards my gliders but I still worried instinct might kick in).
Unfortunately, because of how many times I had to chase her, she started to become aggressive and defensive and bitey. I've spent a few months trying to help calm her, which has helped some, but she definitely needs someone who can give her more time and attention than I currently can.
Her current relatively low price is due to her more aggressive and less friendly nature than normal.
With time and care with the right person, I know she can become an even friendlier glider.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED please be aware of everything above.
She may be difficult at first, but she is still very young (about 7 months old).
She was originally hand raised and generally a nice glider until her many escape artist attempts and getting caught.

About her:
I call her Zippy because of how fast she is. She is a mix between a grey and a pure platinum white. You can see her brighter coloration in her fur.
She doesnt generally mind people around her cage, or going in and doing maintenance (food replacement for example) and will sometimes allow for direct contact like petting her hind legs, especially if she has a treat.
As stated, I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. She is used to both of them being around, and my other pets mostly ignore the sugar gliders.
She crabs a little if there too much noise or she feels threatened because your hand is in the cage/near her, but otherwise shes pretty good.
She is absolutely a bit bratty, so having patience and knowledge of sugar gliders would go a long way towards taming her into a good girl again.

She is easiest to pet and interact with when distracted by a treat, but with enough time she will allow for some minor petting.

She comes with a handmade bonding pouch and some kibble and treats.
