Mugwy comes to live with us. We are now a family of six gliders. My daughter had a single girl glider named Mugwy. They had only had her about three months, when they decided to put her in our home to eventually add her to our colony of gliders. They noticed a difference in behavior when they pet sat my four gliders during our vacation. Our would be crazy monkeys every night. while Mugwy would only come out to eat and spent time being held. Not really playing or enjoying life at all.
When they got her they were told to feed almonds, cashews, fruits and veggies. I helped them learn the right diets and started to provide they with some of my frozen cubes of fruit and veggies and proteins. Then offered to help them find her a cage mate. They then decided to bring her to us this past week. With tears in his eyes my son-in-law left her with us. They know that I can give her what she needs in time and healthy foods as well as a cage mate.
We are planning to try to introduce Bella and Mugwy over the next few months. As well as getting her(Mugwy) bonded to me. I have already start to wear her sleeping pouch a few hours everyday. She does not seem to mind. She will come to the top and check out what I'm doing then go back down to sleep.
Bella update: She seems to be settling in OK at this point. It took longer then I thought it would. But we are working with her timing not mine. At first I could not get near her. She would lounge at me, lots of crabbing and try to bite. Now she will take treats from the palm of my hand. Today we have her in her sleeping pouch and then in a bonding pouch and she is quite so far. Very littel crabbing. No lounging or trying to bite through the pouches. So I hope to start to take her into the bathroom soon for some play time. She is eating great too.
