I just purchased a sugar glider and was told she was 2 months old and should stay on formula for 2 more weeks. Any other advice about this would be helpful. How much should she be drinking at each feeding???She seems to only be drinking about a Tablespoon of formula 3 x a day. Is this enough????

A sugar glider old enough to be separated from the mother to go to a new home should NOT still be on formula.
Gliders 8 - 10 weeks old should be eating/pooping/peeing on their own. At this point they should be fairly self-sufficient.
I have heard of some people offering marsupial milk at feeding time the first couple of days as a "security blanket" type food.
If this little glider still needs milk, are you sure it is as old as you were told?
