Apr 20, 2015 HELP!!!!! male and female fighting!!! need advice Posted by: norascottHey everyone! I have a female thats about 9 months old and we've had her since she's 3 months. We purchased her with her brother but he had gotten sick and passed. About 3 months ago we got her a 2/3 month old male and they got along instantly so we were relieved that she wouldn't be alone anymore and her and they new boy got along great. But recently, since the boys bald spot started appearing and he started showing other maturing signs hes been starting fights with our girl. They're constantly cranking and hissing and we hear them fussing around the cage. Neither of them have and scratches or wounds but the noises they make are pretty aggressive... is this because hes starting to be more dominant or is this her getting mad at his mating advances? I dont know what to do and im worried about them
Apr 16, 2015 New mom needs advice Posted by: DropsOfJupiterI have been obsessed with Gliders ever since Christmas. I have been doing research off and on about them and have even created a little journal with things I've learned about them. Last night I got my first baby from a family who no longer had time for him. He is a year old, and they got him when he was 4 months. He was tame and they were able to hold him and pet him. But since they have been busy they have not spent time with him and he is now untamed. He crabs and tries to lunge while in the pouch. I am giving him a 24 hour period to be left alone so he can get used to his new home. I draped my t-shirt around his cage when I fed him this morning. He actually came up when he saw the food and I was able to give him a piece through the bars of the cage. I have not tried to touch him to avoid stress. I have only talked to him. Any suggestions on how to begin the taming and bonding process with my new little man? Apr 15, 2015 Question! Posted by: JezerfezerHello everyone, hope you are having a nice day! quick question. Iv had my baby for about 7 months and I have never heard him bark... is that bad? please let me know asap, thank you! :) Apr 5, 2015 Help! Posted by: laraashton I'm new to the sugar glider family. I got my first two maybe a year or so ago and I've done so much research. I make their food - Bml mix. I give them spring water. I clean the cage often. I bond with them and they have toys and an exercise wheel. I got back from a two night vacation last night and immediately came to visit my gliders and noticed ones arm looked kind of funny. I told my boyfriend I thought something was wrong and he insisted otherwise. In trying to remove him from his pouch we discovered that his foot was hooked and twisted and I tried to stay calm but started shaking and we worked it off. He was really dehydrated and lethargic so I wrapped him up and called the vet and they suggested sugar water. Our vet isn't very experienced and I believe our nearest one that might be is an hour away. He only took so much (my mother pushed it) but I continued to give him regular water and later some water with a little apple juice in it. He ate maybe half a cube once it thawed out. I was feeling pretty good about it and thought that he was going to be okay. Nonetheless, I stayed up all night holding him and at one time be was really moving. He just couldn't move his back leg. Around 330 am he had been sleeping for a while and wouldn't take anything but I figured he would be exhausted anyway, so I held him and dozed off for a second because next time I looked in the blanket he was gone. I found him within a couple minutes. He was in the couch just looking at me when I found him. He was awake and doing alright. I folded his baby blanket much like his parachute bed and held him. He seemed like he does when he's just not wanting to be bothered or just tired and with it being easter I can't get him to the vet until Monday. I was going to, despite the price and I looked up the number to the vet and right before I was about to call I looked at him and noticed he just didn't look right and I roughed him up a little bit and he just wasn't moving. Then I noticed he wasn't breathing. This has been so extremely hard for me and I feel so bad. My boyfriend and I agreed now that they will go everywhere with us. they were fed and the food was eaten. I'm concerned now because I had two and now I have one and I'm not sure what to do. I love my gliders and I don't trust anyone to take care of them the way I have. I threw away the bed. I'm paranoid now about the beds. I'm really at a loss for words. I'm going to bury him soon. I just noticed though, right before I left I cleaned the cage and all the toys and the wheel has A LOT more poop than usual. Could it have been sick? It was much like diarrhea. Or rather, could my other glider have done that last night maybe because he's nervous. He's never been without his brother. If anyone has gone through this please provide advice. I'm looking to get another male glider but I'm unsure how he will deal with it. Is there anything I can do for now?

Posted by: MegandjarelovesglidersHi guys I'm new on here and still not sure how everything works haha. I just had some questions about quarantining new gliders. Do you need to quarantine gliders if they came in a pair together? What's the purpose of quarantining them? Thanks for your help :) Mar 13, 2015 Day one of being neutered Posted by: SugieLifeMe and my girlfriend took two of our sugar gliders to get neutered, (the son, and dad) we don't know if it's okay for them to go into the cage with the family... I keep seeing that a lot of people don't have any trouble with them but i don't understand if it's because they chose to do the laser procedure.. Please help. Both of them don't have poms anymore Mar 11, 2015 New glider momma Posted by: MegandjarelovesglidersHi guys I'm about to recieve my own gliders very soon and I've done tons of research already. I was just curious if anyone sells and/ or makes cage sets and toys on here? Also any tips or "secrets" are greatly appreciated :) thanks! :) Mar 3, 2015 Sugar Gliders Gender Posted by: Ovmckay1Hey guys a couple months ago I got two new sugar gliders off ksl, they were supposed to be male and female and we're going to be breeders, but I think they sold me two neutered males. How do you tell? Is a pouch obvious? The supposed male doesn't have a bald spot, and from what they told me he should be about a year now, which is what lead me to wonder whether he was neutered, and when it kind of looked like he was neutered I checked the female as well. Feb 22, 2015 New owner please help Posted by: Matthewshane33Please help my cousins just gave me one that is older and I have no idea what to feed him or how to take care of him. And I was reading that it's a good idea to to have a friend with them.. He had one but just die giving birth :( will that bother him.. Please help!!!! Feb 15, 2015 Help with the diet Posted by: Harleyrider1984Okay, so I have had my glider for a couple of days now. He is doing great. I have just one concern. When I make his platter, he only eats the sweet corn and leaves everything else. Should I stop putting the sweet corn in his diet? and I just bought regular honey and agave honey. Is it okay to mix his food in honey and then serve it to him or do I give him honey in a little section of the plate by itself. Thanks :) Feb 9, 2015 gliders Posted by: hall91hi, i have a male sugar glider that's about a year old, i just got a female glider and she's just a baby, I introduced them to each other and she instantly hopped on his back and was holding onto him, it looked like she was biting him but he didnt freak out or make any noise or anything he acted as if she wasnt bothering him. Is that a normal thing they do? |
