In Reply to: Sickly Glider, any advice? posted by Joe on June 12, 2000 at 17:10:46:

: My sugarglider looks very sick, for the past week. She started showing signs of being less active, sensitive to light, didn't eat lots. She still moves OK, she doesn't have a lot of energy and has lost a bit of weight. She's stayed about the same all week but hasn't gotton better or worse. Anyone know much?

: Take your glider to the vet it is showing symptoms of ostieoparlysis. Ostieoparlysis is when the glider suffers a calcium deficiency. it needs lots of calcium, it will eventually show less and less movment and will be in a great deal of pain if it has this dieseas .If it is realy severe the back will arch. Use repcal served in honey 1/8 teaspoon repcal every night to prevent it .
Hope the glider feels Better
