It is that time again - 2012 Census Study

Have you ever wondered just how many gliders really SM? Or what percentage undergo amputations each year? Or maybe you wondered how often the average owner experiences an emergency surgery (just how prepared do you need to be anyway?). When talking to your vet, have you ever wished you could say, "well _________ is actually more common than we think?" Or "100's of gliders survive this procedure each year." ???? Do you ever wonder what the most common ailment is for sugar gliders? Or if our educational efforts are making a difference in the health of our gliders?

Well, these questions and more are some that the SUGAR group seeks to answer with our yearly incidence and census survey.

The 2012 Incidence and Census survey only takes a few moments to complete, but provides us with a great deal of valuable information for our research.

If you have not already done so, PLEASE complete your 2012 survey on the SUGAR Group site:
http://www.sugargroup.org/2012-Incidence---Census.html

This survey should be completed once every year by every owner. So, even if you completed it last year, please do so again for the current survey year. If you are planning to attend the RRRoundup, you may wait until you get to the RRRoundup to complete the survey.

Was the one we filled out at the Roundup last year (March 2012) from 2012 or 2011?

Last year you would have filled out for 2011.
We are always a year behind - asking how many of each happened in your home in the last calendar year. So, you can fill it out again.

Don't be mad at me but it's asking about what diet I fed in 2011, not 2012. Am I making this harder than it is? I will fill it out, but just wanted to make sure I'm not skewing statistics somehow!

Ooops...I did mine yesterday and messed up. I said that I had 1 neuter in 2012, but I saw the receipt in my file today and it was actually done Nov 2011. So I had NO neuters in 2012.
Sorry

I have just filled mine out. I did one last year so I am going to say what I feed for 2012 instead of 2011. I did a few others too, not sure if you guys still do those ones.

We appreciate EVERY survey completed! Thank you so much!!

Just did my survey!
