It could just be that my vet is over-cautious with small animals. I know that the neutering itself shouldn't cause any problems, it was just the anesthesia that my vet doesn't like to use on very young animals. I too have had a few gliders come back to me. I've also had other peoples gliders wind up here just because my name was seen and they wanted to know that their gliders were getting good care. I figure better me than the pound or someone who doesn't know or care about these guys

: Maria, my last little guy we neutered at 8 weeks old.He reacted well and has no health problems. Why do I know this- he was returned to me one year after they took him with no warning. A phone call in the am and a glider handed to me in a pouch at night. He is a very healthy happy rambuctious little boy. I think as long as the testicles have dropped then all is fine. By the way he lives with four females so if he wasnt neutered I would know it. But he doesnt know and boy is he proud of his harem- we call him (P)Elvis!
