Subject: Im sorta new at this...Help requested....

I have been interested in sugargliders for years, yet I
Never planned on owning one for quite some time. Then,
yesterday, my friend told me out of the blue that someone he
new couldn't keep hers, so she was giving it to him. My
freind is great, but he couldn't take care of such a attention
craving animal, so to finish up my story, I took her. The
gliders name is Clowie, and I would just like some answers
and to make sure Im doing everything right. I am being careful
to not play with her too much till she adjusts to her new home.
-First, A few places have suggested reptovit when I cant get
glider-aid. Do i put the powder on food, or in a separate dish?
-second, I have been feeding her at ten PM, but when should I remove
the food from the cage? Should I remove the food?
-There is nothing wrong with playing with her a little in the day, is
there? I keep hearing people say to take her places, and she does like
my pocket, but wouldn't toting her around in the daytime get on her nerves,
her being nocturnal and all?
-Finally, I need some info on gliders...well.....gliding. My
freind told me Clowie, the glider, glides from time to time
but she seems amazingly unsure of herself in that aspect, and I haven't
seen her even make a nice leap. How can i make sure she is all right
or help her to glide?
-finally, is there any safe accurate way to tell their age?
-any helpful tips on games they like to play, also woule be greatly
appreciated.

I know this is a lot of questions, but thanks in advance for helping Clowie
and me out!!
