I got 2 male sugar gliders for my birthday, Timmy and Sammie. Well one day Sammie managed to get out of the cage and my dog got him. She is a very sweet Italian greyhound, but to her he looked like a stuffed toy. Also when we first got them we were miss informed that our dogs and cats would not hurt them because they don't smell like rodents! They even had a pit bull licking one of theirs! We were always cautious, but slightly more layed back around the other animals. He passed away while we were rushing to the vet. We took his body back home. I showed Timmy his body so he would know that Sammie died. I dont know if this is what we are supposed to do when dealing with the death of one. When one of my dogs died the other became very depressed looking for her for months.I thought if he knew he was gone he wouldnt be looking for him. I went that same day to get another sugar glider for Timmy. He found a friend and he is doing good. Is this what to do in thee future? How do you handle a death of a sugar glider? Any tips?
Thank You!

*Now we have a cage with locks and keep them in a separate room completely off limits to other animals*
