It seems like there's a lot of poor little gliders out there today who are sick,or not doing to well and it just makes my heart hurt.
I hope they all get better!

Lucy doesn't seem to like me...I tried tent time last night and she just stayed curled up crabbing for 20 minutes...I offered her a mealie and she baked away from it.I woke up every hour to make sure that she was up.I want to make sure that she has a good awake to sleep ratio.She seems to wake up for 4-6 hours and then sleep all day.I read poems to her for an hour last night as a way for her to get used to my voice,I also did it today while she was sleeping.

I bought some new,smaller,less gross meal worms.I'm hoping she'll eat them.I can't wait for a friend for her.

Update:
She ate as many mealies as I would give her!I know I probably shouldn't have given her so many because she might not eat the veggies,fruits,and meat she should but it just made me feel so good when she took them so eagerly.For some reason it gave me a huge feeling of satisfaction.She ate 8 so far.I'm so happy!Now I'm thinking I should have gotten the 100 count meal worm container instead of the 50 count.The container didn't have any gross pupa either.
I imagine she ate so many because I didn't give her any treats today.I thought there was no reason.I decided to give her treats when she's up,like with the mealies.

I like to read,write,and I've recently discovered a love for animals.I always liked them,but the responsibility that came with them wasn't worth it.I've come to accept that responsibility as totally worth it.To know that you have made an animal healthy and happy is reward enough. My thoughts are with the Tasmanian Tiger.A truly unique animals. My News

I cannot change my soul for it is the foundation of my being. My Bio
My name is Katie.I'm a capable,caring,aware individual.I have very strong opinions about things that I have educated myself on,but my mind is open to new ideas and opinions.When I don't know about something that presents it's self I like to gather as much information and opinions on the subject as I can.I believe that once you have an animal it is your responsibility to take care of it,even if you get bored with it or it's personality takes a turn for the worse.My mother once got rid of a cat she had,had because it was being unfriendly and didn't like being touched.I still felt that she had an obligation to provide that cat with care and love even if she didn't get it back.People don't seem to realize that animals can be just as diverse as people.
