: I will try to answer but first two points.
: 1) your question before seems to have been eaten by the cgi demons and that would be why you had no answers.

ok, odd that it was eaten, since it shows up on my screen every time i log on, but if it was, ok.

: and 2) this is a voluntary board, if you get an answer someone is doing you a favor, you do not have a god given right to get free advise we all do what we can so please cut the attitude.

it was kind of a joke, sorry it didn't translate that way. as for attitude, being insulted isn't an attitude. telling me to "drop the attitude" is an attitude.

: You state your glider is three weeks oop. Either you are mistaken or else I hope there is a good reason you have a baby that young.

you're obviously not someone who has kept up on lenore's story at all, or even read any of it in the first place. she is a rejected joey, and I have been following the advice of kim and bourbon, who i understand to be missing because they are also sick of the "attitude" around here.

: Unless a baby has been abandoned gliders should not be weaned until their tail is fluffy and they are eating healthily on their own with no prompting.
: This occurs between 6-10 weeks oop.
: Three inches long is not large, what weight is she? As a new glider it would be wise to take her to a vet who can start to create a file on her and this vet should be able to give a educated opinion as to whether your glider is healthy.
: Your glider should also be roughly 50-75 grams of weight. I am putting a web address of Kim's page where she talks about joey size and development stages.

I have priced pet scales, and i have only found them for around $200. i'll get one eventually, but i'd rather save the money for emergency vet visits that may pop up right now.

: Please let us all know the real age of your glider. Can I ask where you got your glider, they should be willing to tell you all you need about your baby post sale or else you bought from a bad source. All good breeders are caring about their gliders and would willingly help you with your concerns.

She came oop the week of March 22nd. The "real" age is about 4-4.5 weeks. sorry, before i said 3-4 weeks.
I wanted to see if anyone thought she was the wrong size, or if there was any reason i might actually want to take her to the vet.
Quite frankly, i'm a little sick of the attitudes around here as well, and, having posted about lenore so many times on this board, i din't think i would need to repeat her entire story each time i posted an update on her, but apparently i was wrong. i will just go back to e-mailing the people who can help me without attacking my "attitude" for caring for my baby.
