Message: In Reply to: RESCUED SUGARGLIDER we need help please!!!!!!!!!!! posted by Nancy on June 28, 1998 at 18:40:33: : hello, my husband and I rescued a 3 month old little boy,sugarglider from some people who didnt seem to care about him. I do not believe he was handled too much and he seems to be "schreeching and yelling " at us. Today I put him in my pocket and he bit me and screeched at me. I have fallen in love with this little animal and he is now in a happy family but we need tips and help on how we can slowly get him to trust us. HELP PLEASE . I know he has endured quite a lot including a gaping wound on his neck . We found a good vet who has helped explain what to do about it and is treating it . But now we need advise on how to help him fall in love with us. and should I force him to be in my pocket if he is protesting??? Also he only ate parrot food when we resuced him nothing else . I am having problems interducing him to a "REAL" diet . any advice on how I can get him to taste new foods???? Thanks for whatever help you can give me .... Nancy........ You and your husband should be given a hug from everyone for being such good people. The information on this page is just wonderful. Everyone has wrote about thier experiences and helped to answer everyone's questions. I know it would take a while, but just read through all of the posts. There is some great stuff here. I check this page all of the time to get tips. As for changing diet, you could try tapering off the amount of parrot food while introducing new food. I had to do this with my new girl. The breeder I got her from said that if I fed her thier food, she would be guaranteed. Well, her feces and urine stunk sooo bad that I had to take her off of it. I gave her less and less of the breeder food and she now eats what her cage-mate eats.
