Fadedrainbows, I think you have a very valid point. We all have lives that include spouses, kids, jobs and our animals. We do the best we can but we just cant be here 24/7.
I think the problem here is EVERYONE NEEDS TO HAVE AN EXOTIC VET. If you have an emergency late at night and no one is here - thats who you need to call for help. If you dont have an exotic vet, let us know and we will help you find one.
Now I am not saying never, ever post asking for medical help. We do need to hear all the illnesses, accidents, etc the gliders are having. That is the only way we learn. And when we learn, we can help others.
