So I know the females are generally smaller than the males but when I received my female Lily I thought she was a little to light in my opinion. She felt very delicate and I can feel her bones. When I took her home I started her on a new diet and she started to gain some weight and her coat and tail looked a million times better than how I got her. But she's soon expecting some joeys and she's still a little thin. I know a fat glider isn't a good one but I want to make sure she's strong and healthy and making sure her and the joeys are getting the nutrients they need. I love my fur babies and I want to make sure they're okay . So any tips on how she can gain a little more weight ?

How old is she? And have you weighed her? If she has joeys IP, you probably want to see if there is a modification to the diet you're currently feeding for breeding gliders. Is she a picky or healthy eater? Just based on the fact that her coat is softer/fuller/thicker is a testament to better health, anyway. She may in truth be a tiny lady. Find out where she's at before deciding if she needs to gain. :)

So great news the baby came oop today when I saw her! But no I haven't weighed her she's quit squirmy when I hold her were still going through the bonding stage but I'd like to say she's maybe 9/10 months old. She use to be on a pellet diet now I have her on a diet I found by The Pet Glider website I forgot what it was called but you maybe right she may just be small

Congratulations on the new joey. I think I have heard that it is acceptable to give extra staple/nectar with new moms.

Hello,
You can increase the portions of diet while she's nursing, it might not be strictly necessary but it will ensures she doesnt lack any nutrients
