Mar 22, 2020 Scab and swollen chin Posted by: spearrI have a sweet little family of sugar gliders Lilo (F) and Stitch (M) and their two twin boys. Recently I noticed Lilo’s lower cheek was a little swollen, so I gave her a treat to distract her as I checked it out and I saw a strange black scab looking growth under her chin. She’s been eating and drinking just fine and playing, definitely has not lost her spunk. So I don’t know if it’s just an injury from fighting with one of the boys or something more serious. Has this ever happened to anyone and if not does anyone have any ideas of what this may be.?
Mar 7, 2020 help! Posted by: tanmehri’m looking to rehome my female glider but i’m not sure where to start! Feb 27, 2020 Possible Special Needs Glider? Posted by: KevinKSZ So, recently one of my gliders got sick, in a less than optimal time. I’ve had them for over a year now (2, 1 male one female the male is neutered) and at the beginning I was set up for them then life just gut punched me and now we’re here and it’s been tight. And then my glider gets sick, pretty positive it was dehydration, the ball in his bottle got stuck and the female is protective of the food. For the past 3 days I’ve been nursing him back to health and overall he’s doing much better. What I can say is he almost wasnt here and May have had a seizure while I was dropping pedialyte for him. But I comforted and made sure if he thought it was his time, it was ok, now the only residing symptoms is weakness and oddly, trancing out. Here’s what I mean. Lately he’s been just stopping what he’s doing, blank staring for a few moments and then resuming his previous activity. Why? I don’t know, this didn’t happen before. His strength is slowly returning, it’s the trances that are scaring me. Any ideas? Thanks. Feb 23, 2020 Neutered boy is vicious Posted by: AxlbabygliderHi Guys I was just hoping for some advice regarding handling a vicious glider. I have had Charlie for about a year and rescued him with 2 other females as a breeding trio. He was a very dominant male and I assumed it was the hormones from being an intact male. He began he get so excited if he smelt other gliders and would bite the bars and even ended up injuring his tail. I decided neutering him would be the best option to help him and the vet also agreed it would be kindest to neuter him so he wouldn't have all raging hormones. Now a year later hes still just as aggressive regarding other gliders. Tonight I made the mistake of not washing my hands after feeding one of my other gliders and got absolutely attacked by charlie. He just goes crazy if he smells other gliders. Does anyone have any ideas on how to calm him down or will I just have to continue making sure I wash my hands before handling him? PS: he still lives with his 2 females that he came with Feb 22, 2020 Gotta new girlfriend Posted by: BatGirlHer name is Starling and she's daughter to my mom and pop Sugar Gliders. Got to use bonding pouch earlier this week with Starling, and able to finally (for a short time) handle her outside the cage and pouch just sitting in my open hand (with fleece glove) munching on wax worms... got to rub her cheeks and forehead, and caress her back. Such a tender yet strong adolescent girl Glider, and quite charming :-) Yesterday I bonded again with Piper. Used bonding pouch, and just like Starling I was able to finally (for a short time) handle her outside the cage and pouch just sitting in my open hand (with fleece glove) munching on wax worms... she still managed to give me a small nip getting her to that point, but didn't hurt. Took some patience waiting out the growling tantrums, but in-between got some good petting in. Actually able to get some purr-like sounds out of her as she would finally surrender to my caresses. Afterwards, she seems more tame - she will still throw a growling tantrum, but only for a few seconds rather than the usual several minutes (until I dump her out of the nest where she'd stop - lingering nest protection mode...). However even the tantrums seem to occur less frequent. What a lady! Then there's Aerrow, my girlfriend's pop... my lovely Aerrow - he bonds with me daily, loving to be caressed and always looking for me when I enter the room (and such stirrings usually sets off Piper if they're in the same nest). Compared to the other two females who are also beautiful mature vibrant Sugar Gliders, he's very much the gentleman - more hesitant yet adventurous... Feb 14, 2020 More on Piper's growling/biting problem Posted by: BatGirlOK - seems the only time Piper does this 'tantrum' thing is when she's in a nest - never does it outside the nest. Therefore it's GOTTA be some protectiveness of the nest thing left over from birthing joy's/joeys. And Starling never does the growling thing unless Piper's doing it - so GOTTA be some mother/daughter support thing. Aerrow however NEVER joins in and will either just bail out of the nest when the two start up, or he'll wait for me to do something about it (like run ballistic mom and daughter out of the nest which stops their growling/snapping immediately as they seek one of the other two nests, and gives Aerrow the nest by himself, and usually he'll also get a good head/cheek rub with back massage for being such a lovely ) Reward good behavior - discourage bad behavior Still, once I've ran the two trouble makers out of the nest and before they hide away in one of the other nests, I'll give each a 'petting' once they're out and no longer carrying-on... ...also, Piper is now actually allowing me to pet her - even in the nest - occasionally at least, and without being so skiddish ~ gotta wear her down and re-tame her ;-D Feb 6, 2020 New joey! Assistance is requested. Posted by: Aesthetic_LunacyHello! I have a new Joey on my hands and they are my first. I have 4 adult gliders that were all rescues. Before I was able to have my males neutered my dear Sydney got pregnant and had an adorable healthy baby. I was hoping one of you could help me to figure out the joey's gender. I find it much easier to tell with adults and as I said before I usually only adopt rescues so. Thank you in advance! 
Feb 6, 2020 Aggressive Behavior. Posted by: mh669q I have a very aggressive male sugar glider and I don’t know what to do I’ve tried loving on him, I’ve tried the bonding pouch, I’ve tried the sugar glider sized blanket scent thing and it makes me sad that he won’t be kind... what do I do? Feb 6, 2020 PLEASE HELP Posted by: Jessica41476Hi please check out my hats journal post I really need help!! Feb 5, 2020 Skittishness Posted by: BatGirlPiper developed some feral tendencies during pregnancy ~ protecting the pregnancy, then the newborns, and later the nest. She discouraged handling by growling and snapping, and therefore got handled less - worsening the skittishness. Finally even after the young ones left the nest, this 'habit' remained. My mission: bring her back to civilization :-D Feb 3, 2020 Sugar glider diet Posted by: Gemma_11Hi there, I was just curious, what do you all feed your sugar gliders? What diet do you have them on? I have a 1 year old male sugar glider and I was given a certain nectar recipe to feed him every night by the breeder I brought him from but I feel like it’s doing worse than good, especially because he’s recently started having diarrhoea. So I just wanna know what you all feed your sugar gliders so I can improvise and see what’s wrong.
