: Is 2-3 weeks OOP too early for any sugar glider to leave the mom? That's how old the breeder says she is, is it safe to get her now, Could she really be weaned this quick??? Please Help!?!?!

Definitely!!!! They must be 6-8 weeks at the earliest! You should ask the breeder a couple of questions: is it rejected, do they have a USDA liscence, have they sold babies this young often... It is very dangerous for them to leave their mom at this age. I got a rejected baby at that age, and believe me, it is a lot of work to nurse and wean them on your own, and really bad for them if you don't absolutely have to do it.
