It sounds like you did the right thing, dagny. I'm sure everything will be just fine. I haven't had to deal with having to part with babies, but I'm sure it would have been hard for me to deal with too. I think all "moms" are a little paranoid. If we weren't, then I would worry. Take care..

It sounds like your joeys got a good home, dagny, so don't worry. I know how you feel! There are still a couple of joeys (long since gone) that I wish I still had. When I get a chance to see them (and I do) they still make a mad dash for under my shirt, so I think they still recognize me...it's hard cuz I still miss 'em.

Glad to hear that you gave them a good home  . That must have been hard. My Nuba is going to have joeys oop any day now and I don't think I'm giving them away or selling them. I do plan to keep them. Although these wouldn't be her first babies, they are mine and just don't think I could bare to let them go. I plan on getting Nero neutered though since she apparently has been bred a whole lot from the previous owner and I don't want to stress out her body anymore than need be. At least you can see them once in a while since it's a friend of your who got them Take care and let us know how they're doing with their new owner.

i wish i could have kept them...but as it is i have around 20 animals...and it wasnt exactly a planned pregnancy ( a store owner told me he was giving me a girl to be a buddy for the girl i already had...after looking at "Her" i said are you sure this is a girl..it looks like a boy to me..he said of coarse it is a girl! within weeks we were preggers.... luckily i have the next best thing to keeping the babies..knowing they went to a grerat home (and i get to visit whenever i want)

How they can tug, huh? Spend a little extra time with your old gliders and lavish a few extra treats on them... Sublimation is just a substitute for the real thing, but it is a healthy way to handle your loss. Yes, it is a real loss to you, and good training for when and if you have human babies some day!
