Have you checked if she is dehydrated. This summer we had baby chinchillas and one was not being fed enough. the first sign was when his eyes became shrunken and stuck together. We hand fed him soy milk as a supplement but leaving him with his mom. He developed nicely and and is now a huge six month old. So try feeding her liquids to see if that may be the problem.
: We just got a sugar glider a few weeks ago. When she woke up from a nap tonight, one of her eyes was stuck shut. It looks sort of like how a human's eye looks when they have pink eye. We used a warm, wet washcloth to get it open. There aren't any vets in the area that know much about sugar gliders and we're not sure what to do. Can you help us?
