: I ended up getting my babies today! They are beautiful.We have named them "Zen and Poe".Zen has already proved to be the loudest crabber.Poe is very quiet.Alittle concerned though because they are still on formula for the next 2 weeks along with some baby fruits and veggies, but I've e-mailed 2 of my glider friends for opinions.They'll be at the vets next week anyway.They seem to be eating okay.

: I'm getting my babies this Saturday and plan on having them checked out by the vet.I have the oop date, and planned on discussing neutering when they're old enough and diet.Is there something else that I should be asking?I've already grilled the receptionist to make sure that they did take care of Sugar GLiders.I can't think of anything else.Any suggestions would be great.Thanks.
: How exciting for you!
: I suggest that you print and take several diets that are on this message board for your vet to review. I personally, swear by Leadbeaters.
: My vet is awesome at surgery and illness - but when it comes to diet and behavior he trusts my judgement. Your vet may not have much experience with gliders.
: It will be very helpful for him to hear a healthy heartbeat, get their weight, stools, etc.
: Do you have names picked out yet?
: Let us know how things go - I am always curious to hear what other people's vets recommend.
