I have two little girl sugar gliders. they're a year and a half old. Today I walked by their cage and was astonished to see them both awake (but in that groggy just
woke up sort of a way). So I opened the cage and got them out an noticed a bald spot on ones rear leg. Well it wasn't really a bald spot because it wasn't completely bald but you could see missing fur. Why is this? I am very worried should I take them to the vet? It's not sore to the touch. Do you think it could have been a bite from the other glider?


The only abnormal thing in their husbandry has been their diet. For about a week I couldn't get any of the right ingredients to make lead beaters mix so I just gave
them fruits, veggies, insects and some dry foods. But about 4 days ago I was able to make some more lead beaters and they have been eating it ever since.


Please help me! I'll never forgive myself if something happens to my sugar babies!
