hello everyone,

I just wanted to update everyone on bubba, he is still the same fussy self, but he is now the one that is attacking my other glider china. I had bubba in the rest room trying to bond and my brother had china well he came in to tell me something and she got loose from him and they met, china was nice and bubba attacked her. no one got hurt, china just run to me and hide for the night she won't come out of my shirt not even for food.
I have talk to the breeder and she will let me trade him in for another baby but i want to try a little more and try to bond with him. I have been giving him ton's of water i feed to him by an eye dropper and i get it to him in his food, i also have a water bottle in his cage. But his eyes hasn't chaged. I don't what to give up on the little guy.
I will keep everyone up dated on what happens
Thanks,
Sissy

Sissy,
So glad to hear from you. However, I am sorry to hear that Bubba is still having problems. Have you by any chance asked the breeder if there is any possible chance that Bubba is the product of inbreeding?
His behavior and eyes in particular are really bothering me. It seems like he has a very aggressive personality and I am afraid that he is going to either hurt or possibly kill China.
I know it is a very long drive to the breeder and you want to do all you can for this little fellow, but it would be my recommendation that if he does not improve very quickly, then you need to seriously consider returning him.
Has his weight changed any at all ... has he lost weight or is he still very large?
Thanks again for reposting. Let us know how he/you are doing.

Hello,

Well i when back to the breeder and return bubba, when he got in the cage he was like a diff glider, he didn't fuss or cry. He looked happyer and just walked around looking, everytime i would talk he would look up at me, I do miss him the little things that he would do, but i know that he is healther and happier there.
I did get a new baby boy, he is so sweet and calm. It's so weird how diff he is from bubba, he loves sleeping in my shirt and he is learning my voice already, he comes to the cage side where i am when i am talking to him.
China is just now starting to calm down and act her normal sweet noisey self. I know it's going to take a long time to get her over bubba, but i know she will over time i'll just have to show her more love and lick treats raspberry
I am working on bonding with him and going to wait till atleast a month before i think about letting them see each other.
I just wanted to thank everyone for there concerne and will keep updateding you.
~Bye~
Sissy
