Sorry for the late update but have been very sick and have only today been well enough to be out of bed. So anyway...

As some of you remember I was going to drive to Show Low this ast weekend to pick up 3 gliders. Well plans didn't go so well and car wouldn't make there that day so we traded cars with my sis and we went the next day. I was going by myself but I was very ill and to dizzy to drive so hubby had to drive me. We got there and all 3 were in this tiny little bed with a fithy fleece blanket. No way to hide from the light. Bowl of glider chow and a bottle of water. In a wood and non treated metal wire cage. pic included. Darvin and Kaynas fur is cracked and not very healthy looking. Both their weights look good as well and the joeys. They are even sweeter then My Batman and Princess.

They were a little dehydrated by the time I got them home and I was dying so I gave them water and hubby went and got them food. As I lay dying hubby brought them to me and I checked them all again and everyone was fine. They love the new diet and have not touched the glider chow since.

Been to sick to do tent time with anyone so that will start tonight since im better. Hubby still learning the ropes but he is just as addicted as I am now lol.

Sorry for the wall but trying to get you all updated in one post.

Now time for the pics!!!

Drum roll please!!

The kind of cage you don't put your gliders in!

Here is the Female joey who has now been named Azelia

That is Kayna on top and Darvin peeking out. I will get better pics when they wake up and we do tent time.

Darvin in his pouch. Little bit better pic of him.

Hope you enjoyed!

That cage doesn't look half bad except for the fact it has wood. All the babies are beautiful. Lucky you.

The metal is raw. No coating of any kind on it. Going to sell as a bird cage and put it towards getting the male fixed even if they do make great parents and cute babies.

They came with a real good almost $400 cage so they will be fine.

Pretty babies! Are they a little stained, or is that just the camera adding color? That cage isn't bad. It'll be nice for a different kind of critter.

No not a bad cage for something else but not a glider. Its actually very sturdy. They are very sweet. Darvin was already grooming us within mins of having them. We did the first tent time last night and they went NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!! They took off and left the baby and all! They were needing to get out and play pretty bad. I am having a hard time getting their cage back together so they are stuck in the hospital cage. Hubby going to help me this morning. They are already jumping to our hands. Well Darvin to my hubby and Kayna to me. I also now know what you all mean about the scenting dance.. yep he does it. Hubby got a flying face hug from Darvin with the battle scar to prove it. I'll take a pic of it later. Hes grinning ear to ear about it! He is already calling Darvin his baby.
