This week's spotlight shop: viciousencounters

This week's spotlight shop is another creative team member:  viciousencounters!  She is also a leader for an Etsy team that includes a lot of our team members as well:  Sugar Glider Groupies! Vicious is a young college student trying to discover her true passions.She is currently majoring in Biology, and is looking to change to Biochemistry with a minor in Genetics. She enjoys making her handmade items and aspires to continue to do so while using the extra cash to assist with her education.



She has had gliders for a few years now and has four females that range from one to four years of age. Her first glider was given to her as a gift, and while she didn't know much about them at the time, she fell in love and continues to learn all she can about them. She opened her shop in June of 2009, after she got her second glider. She really wanted pouches that could fit two gliders, and had trouble finding them, so she decided to sew her own. She is a sewer from a young age so coming up with a high quality product and design came easily.

She just recently adopted her fifth glider, a male. He is a rescued male who came from a mill breeding hoarder who fed them cat food, which made him orange when he supposed to be white. According to her, he has the sugar glider version of the luecism trait so besides being the only boy he will also be the "white" sheep in the family. She helped nurture him back to help using the diet recommended by the Lucky Glider Rescue and Sanctuary, and wanted me to share their Suggie Soup with you!

Vicious notes that she is continually surprised at how intelligent, amusing, and caring they [gliders] truly are.

  1. Really lovely article! Thank you for choosing my shop! On a side note, I really appreciate you mentioning Lucky Glider Rescue and Sanctuary because some people do not even know there are glider rescues out there.
