Candi,

It sounds like you and I are in the exact same boat. My gliders too suffered from a poor diet. Juilet is with Joey's again. The only thing we can do is make sure she does not get stressed. Be careful that when you touch her that you are careful not to knock the joeys loose from the nipple and add more protien to her diet. I let Juliet eat as many mealworms as she wants now. It seems to helping with the bonding process too. But you want to make sure that you increase her protien levels to 50%. Thean pray, sit back and keep those toes and fingers crossed like I am.

good luck with you little ones....

: Hi everyone

: My youngest female appears to be with babies again ( when I first purchased them I was told that the one female had a baby they were keeping, they did and shes adorable and healthy I was able to see her when I got my trio; and that the other female had twins in her pouch, then it appeared to be only one baby, and soon there was none ) She appears to have twins again, I have increased their diet to include more variety, plus they get plenty of calcium and protein now ( which I believe they were lacking before ) is there anything else I can do to try and help guarentee that she doesn't lose these babies?

: Thank you!
