: Ok its 2 in the morning. Can not find my answer. The place I bought my sg said I can bring home my sg next wk, but she is 4 wks oop. Is this too soon? She nibbles from my fingers. I have been visiting her every other day for 2 wks today she came to me when I called out to her. I'm afraid this may be to soon. what do you guys think?
Yes I believe that it is too soon. Most gliders are taken from their parents and weaned at 6 to 8 weeks oop, not four. Have you seen her eat anything at all? I believe in letting my gliders wean themselves, I will not rush them, however I did have one set of twins that began to eat with Mom and Dad when they were only three weeks oop. A rare occurance I am sure. I would insist that she stay with her parents till I see her actually eating something solid.
