Just got two sugar gliders a few weeks ago, after a tragic loss of my Chuck escaping away from me at the camp ground- I had him almost a year, he ran up a tree, I cried and cried he wouldn't come down, I put his cage and pouch out with food had the whole camp ground informed to check it for me in hopes that he wld return. I cried and cried I still miss him very badly. My boyfriend must of felt my pain bc he prob won't admit it but he cried with me-He felt so bad that I now have a baby female about 8 weeks old, and a male that is 1yr old. I love them dearly, but Chuck was my baby, I can't believe he didn't come back or come when I cried for him. I feel terrible, and even worse that he didn't have a companion glider. I'm still learning everyday. It's amazing how diff each glider truly is. Please understand I'm very sensitive, and I never intentionally meant for my boy to run away from me.Anyways, I'm concerned about my new male glider "Dink" his tail is shorter than normal as the prev owner stated the mother glider caused the damage, however he's a runner when I give them free time out of the cage, he doesn't try to climb or jump on things where as my female and prev glider did. Shld I be concerned, or perhaps give him some time?
