My family and I added a sugar glider to our family a few days ago. Peaches is such a sweetie and is already so calm and loving towards the three of us. Her eating habits have been terrible (I think due to adjustment and possibly being weaned too early). We bought her with absolutely no knowledge of sugar gliders (foolish, I know). The man who sold her to us assured us that sugar gliders are easy to maintain with very few needs (other than companionship). I am so ignorant. I have been researching everything I possibly can on diet and wellness. Tonight we found that our baby has a swollen spot between two toes, and a blister-like spot on another paw. My husband seems to think she also has a swollen spot under her eye and beneath her mouth (I can't say that I see those). I'm HOPING we are overreacting. Please don't judge us too harshly on our ignorance, we are eager to learn. Tomorrow morning I plan to find out how near we are to an exotic veternarian with sugar glider knowledge. I was just
hoping that maybe there are some night owls out there that can take a look at my attached picture and give an opinion.
