So I found a friend for D’argo and am going to get her on Thursday. The more irrational part of me wants to leave D’argo intact and let them have cute little joeys and for the world to be euphoric and happy and utopian!

Though you guys really don’t know me, I’m going to be rational this time and D’argo is getting neutered on April 22nd. It’s a little far away, I would rather have done it sooner, but oh well… It should cost me about $100, so not too bad. The other vet I called quoted me around $300!

The other reason I’m getting D’argo snipped is that there is a good possibility he and the one I’m picking up on Thursday are siblings. They were bought at the same petstore the same summer.

I’m slightly worried because I’m going to have to ‘quarantine’ them in the same room, I really don’t have the space to keep them in separate areas of my little house. I’m hopping my husband will let me buy the cage she’s in right now from the guy so I won’t have to put her in the little cage D’argo came to us in.

According to the owner she’s had a recent vet check and was found to be healthy, so I really only have to worry about D’argo making her sick, I guess?

I’m not quite sure ho to juggle this one, but I feel like the sooner D’argo has a friend the better off and healthier he will be.

So D'argo, once named Buddy, came to live with my husband and I last week. He was in a small bird cage - 18"x18"x22" and really only came out of his pouch to eat. I started calling him my 'sugar poucher' because he seemed like he barely knew how to jump, let alone glide!

He's doing much better now and is starting to become pretty hyper. We've been trying a variety of foods with him, and so far he likes:

rehydrated freeze-dried strawberries
green beans
meal worms
turkey baby food
scrambled eggs
boiled chicken
papaya
plums
yellow squash
bell peppers
Zoo Keepers Secret

He doesn't seem to like:

brocolli
carrots
rehydrated freeze-dried bananas
sweet potato baby food

I'm basically doing a 50% protein 25% fruit 25% veggie diet. I'm going offer Zoo Keepers Secret at all times in small amounts. I'm also going to provide nectar.
