Welcome to The Little Sugar Shack!
Hi I'm Rachael and have been working with exotic animals since 1998 when I moved down to Florida to do educational programs with big cats including tigers, leopards, lions, and panthers. We also worked with large parrots, python's, and alligators. From there I worked with Primates, a silver-back gorilla, orangutans, and silly little capuchins to name a few. I lived in Guatemala Central America for two years and volunteered with the enrichment program at the zoo which enabled me to work with a variety of amazing animals.
Now I'm living in Sunny Florida with a little "zoo" of my own. I am "mommy" to my dogs, red-footed tortoises, a skunk, and of course my sugar gliders. I started a breeding program in 2012, specializing in Leucistics, and Platinum colors. I recently added a Creamino and Mosaic from Pied lines, which I've very excited about. I know how important lineage is and with the help of some wonderful breeders I matched up the perfect pair. Not only are the parents breath taking, their temperaments are amazing!!! Most importantly all my gliders are my "babies" that are loved on and played with every day. The joeys are handled from day one and often bra trained before going to their new forever home :)

Testimonials
"Thank you, thank you for raising such a wonderful pet! He is a little ray of sunshine. Today I put him in the tent and let him crawl around, he is so sweet!! I mean like the sweetest glider I have ever had, he kept climbing on me, he did crawl around the floor a little, but was happy to be on my back or shoulder. It is so great that in such a short period of time, he trusts me and that is thanks to you and your wonderful bonding techniques. Baby Boy is a joy- pure joy! Yesterday he began making these cute little sounds in the bonding pouch. I have read this is a sign that he is happy and content and that makes me very happy. He has never crabbed at me or acted scared. His strong supportive foundation from day one that you provided, created a glider that will be family pet for many many years to come. Thanks again!"

She is doing sooooo great already! She has already come out and greeted
everyone and played in the room(she REALLY likes trying to dig to the bottom of
the full laundry basket of clean clothes lol). She's so great it's not going to
take much at all to bond with her

I got Storm from Rachael in October 2013 I was very picky with who I wanted to buy a suggie from. I had good vibes from Rachael instantly and felt I could trust her. I wanted him to be healthy, attractive, hand friendly and preferably a bra baby. I got all that and more with my Storm! He is great, a night and day difference from the suggies I adopted before. From the first picture I saw of him he stole my heart. He is well behaved I had him in my bra a week after getting him and he had almost completely stopped barking at me! His fur is the most amazingly healthy and soft feeling I have seen on a sugar glider. Rachael has been awsesome to talk to and answered all my questions. It has definitely been a pleasure working with her and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a new suggie!

Rachael Witt is an amazing breeder!! Her babies are so sweet! I got my beautiful Ostara almost a month ago now. I love her dearly! She has a great personality and I am so glad she added more love to this sugar glider family! Rachel was so kind throughout the whole process and even sent the cutest toy home with my new baby! She is easy to do business with and made the process fun along the way! I would recommend Rachel to anyone wanting to add a glider to their home. You won't be disappointed!!

I adopted four sugar gliders from Rachael. Two sets of twins. The hands on time she spent with them was amazing! She took the time to sent me pictures and videos of them as they got old enough to ship to me. I was nervous about the shipping so Rachael explained to me in detail how it works and that made me feel so much better. She was very professional and also very patient with all my questions answered right away. All four of my new babies are just fantastic! Since Rachael handled them from the start they have the sweetest temperaments. Not only are they the sweetest ever and never crab but they are absolutely beautiful and healthy as can be! Rachael has made this experience of adopting sugar gliders the best experience I've ever had! She will make you feel very comfortable. I feel like I've won the sugar glider lotto. Thank you Rachael <3

The Little Sugar Shack has been amazing throughout this entire process of adopting my Suggies. I am a newbie so I had a bunch of questions throughout. Rachel always had a prompt response to ensure that I was gaining the knowledge that I needed to be a new mommy. She always updated me with the boys and was sending updated pictures. The payment plan that she offered was very detailed and payments always finalized flawlessly. I highly recommend Rachel with The Little Sugar Shack for anyone that is looking to expand their Family. I would definitely use her again.
