: Hello, I just found this message board. I've read most of the posts and thought I'd introduce myself and ask for help.
: Some people I know "rescued" a trio of mostly starved and neglected sugar gliders. The people who "rescued" them knew absolutely nothing about gliders. They were keeping them in a 10 gallon aquarium with pine shavings and feeding them only banannas and oranges. I decided that I just couldn't leave them in that situation...so althougth it wasn't my intention...I now have a three glider family...
: I've been reading everything I can get my hands on to try to provide proper care, food and housing for them.
: Knowing the situation that they were rescused from, I doubt that they were ever bonded with people. They'll probably be having babies eventually. After reading about neutering...I plan to have the male neutered (when I can afford it).
: The three sugar gliders smell more than I dreamed they would. Any ideas to try and help with the odor?
: I'm really concerned with calcium levels.... giving enough and yet not too much. I'm also concerned with dealing with the babies that are sure to come.
: I'll be keeping up with the posts with interest. It'll be great to have first hand info from people who've been there...
: Thanks
