HELP!?!?

 HELP!?!?

Hi there, I was wondering if I could get some advice. I have a sugar glider named lily that I bought (from a bad breeder) to be a partner for my other neutered sugar glider milo (from a good breeder) lily was to young when I got her and began self mutilating. I brought her to the vet and she improved dramatically but she is extremely aggressive unlike milo who was a cuddle bug, but her and milo were good buddies. Sadly milo died from a seizure very suddenly and couldn't be revived by the vet. I knew sugar gliders need to be in pairs so I quickly found her a new partner Casper(from a breeder I thought was good) Casper was sick when I got him and I immediately brought him to the vet who prescribed antibiotics, but said I could introduce him and lily. Casper was a very sweet glider and loved lily very much but his condition got worse and he sadly passed only months after me getting him. I feel absolutely terrible about losing to pets that I love and lily having to experience loss like this. I fed them all the same thing (hpw, fruit/vegetables, monkey biscuits, and pelleted food) and they all had tent time as well. Now I'm not sure if I should get another sugar glider to be Lily's partner of if I should not, she is very aggressive towards me and I want her to be as happy and as comfortable as possible and I don't think I can deal with seeing another sugar glider suffer.

I too have an un-neutered male that is about 7 yrs. old, we inherited him under very sad circumstances....I have not been able to find him a home or anyone that help find us a companion for him...we have just been reading and trying to do the best we can. I feel so sad for him because I know he is lonely.

I feel like you do need another glider for her. Especially if you can't play with her and keep her company because of her aggression, and she needs company somehow. I am so very sorry for what you have gone through. Do some thorough research into new breeders or go to a rescue. I'm sure there are people who can let you know who is a good breeder in your area. I recommend posting in GliderGossip to ask, instead of using a journal.
