Jan 27, 2020 Journal for the Storm Hawks - SKY NIGHTS Posted by: BatGirlPiper is my Sugar Glider mom... she has this growling/biting problem that my other two Sugar Gliders (dad and daughter) do not have. I figure most if her issue is she's just 'put-out' by all that's happened to her lately, and even though none of it is my fault, I still get to deal with it. First, she's been uprooted from her previous owner - new surrounding, new caregiver, new scents, etc. Second, her husband is somehow 'different' - he's been neutered. Third, one of her daughter's is 'missing' - the breeder I got her from gave away one daughter after getting the family from the lady moving overseas... gave the second daughter away to another lady who lost one of her two gliders and the remaining one bonded with the second daughter so she gave it to her. Fourth, she got used to 'protecting the nest' during her pregnancy/birthing and has just redeemed the habit. PLAN: handle her as much as possible - do bonding sessions frequently - ignore the biting attempts - discourage the growling.

Jan 23, 2020 Female hissing Posted by: Jessica41476For some facts- the female is about 6 months old and the other three are; two females just turned one year. And one male that’s 7years old. I have a female sugar glider, and three other sugar gliders. The female is all by herself in her cage, and the other three in a separate cage. I got the three others to make sure I was doing the right thing, and kept their cages close but not so they could reach at each other. I tried swapping some of their stuff in each cage for the sent, and then finally decided to introduce them. I set up a tent, and put all four in, and the single female attacked them all. I then tried one at a time and only left the female and one of the others, and she still attacked them. So I stopped waited about a month and during that month kept swapping items in their cage, for them to get used to each other’s scents. I’ve tried switching them in their cages and letting the three go in hers and she goes in theirs. I tried again but was too afraid to let her near them. So I held her back, and right before I put one of the females away, she opened her mouth stuck out her tongue and made some sorta hissing noise. I’m not sure what else to do. And I was looking for some advice or what her hissing means. Please help!! Jan 19, 2020 Tooth Abscess!!! Posted by: julianeumannA little over a month ago my sugar glider started sleeping more, wasn't able to balance, and his eye swelled up really bad. My sister brought him to the vet because I was out of town for a couple days and she claims the vet just looked at him and diagnosed him. Which worries me because I don't now if it is just in the gums or in the root of the tooth. Which I believe, determines if it is going to need to be removed or not. She also didn't drain his eye, was she supposed to? She gave us an antibiotic for three weeks, and it got all healed up as far as I can tell, but he still hasn't been very active at night he just gets up to eat. Should I just give it time? Does anyone have any advice on how to prevent it? Or any other advice? My vet also told me to switch from the bml diet to pellets(with fruits, veggies, nectar, vitamins, and calcium as well obviously) because she says that is what caused it, all the sweet and liquid food. Has anyone who's had a sugar glider with a tooth abscess know this is true? Dec 30, 2019 male agression Posted by: tiabia1313I got a sugar glider about 6 months ago. my brother had him with a female but he chewed off one of her ears and a foot. he asked if i would take him so i did. im aware it takes a while for bonding. i also know they should be in a pair of two or more. the thing is, is he is really aggressive. im not sure how to go about having a buddy for him if he just trys to eat the poor thing. he crabs and bites me every time i go near him. im unsure of his age and if he is fixed. im assuming he inst fixed, could that be the cause of the aggression? any advice on how to go about fixing the aggressive behavior? Dec 24, 2019 Concerned Posted by: DeeJayMy female is pregnant and everything seems to be going well with her, she is becoming more loving, more motherly and she sings to the Joey's. My males Behavior has changed quite a bit, he stays in the pouch a lot by himself and makes this continuous squawking and chattering noise, it's not quite crabbing but it's close. Is that normal? Dec 23, 2019 My sugar glider is ignoring me Posted by: EydisI bought a new sugar glider to home. He’s 2 months old. But at home I have my old sugar glider and she’s 11 months old. At the first day my older sugar glider meet my new sugar glider and be friends with him instantly. They’re always together. Now my older sugar glider won’t play with me T-T Please give me advice on what should I do? Dec 22, 2019 HELP! sugar glider red swollen anus Posted by: winnieandbleau My neutered male sugar glider named Bleau has a red, swollen anus and it appears to be protruded (as if it’s inside out). Clearly he is in pain and he is continuously trying to lick at it. He is also hissing when he does to the bathroom. This has been happening on and off for a couple months now. Sometimes it only occurs very shortly and doesn’t happen again for a very long time. I feel horrible because it’s clear that I should have taken him to the vet a long time ago. I am going to take him to the vet that neutered him ASAP. I am extremely worried and since it’s about to be christmas i don’t know how fast the vet can get me in. So i’m posting this as a cry for help. I will attach a picture of Bleau’s condition on here for viewers to use as reference. My other female sugar glider has never experienced this before. This makes me think that it’s not diet related. I try my best to feed my gliders a well balanced diet, but i must admit that some night i feed them mainly just fruit, and i’m wondering if that could be the cause for his condition. I’m going to make more of an effort to make sure that they get their correct food. However it makes me think that possibly diet isn’t the problem because only one of my gliders is dealing with this problem. Please help! Also, i’m an 18 yr old girl who is not by any means rich so responses would mean a lot to me, any help is appreciated a lot. Dec 20, 2019 New sugar glider Posted by: KDRedmond98Okay, so I got a new sugar glider 2 days ago. I understand the bonding process could take a long time. I just have some questions. I’m going to be start a new job in a month or two and I really need her to sleep throughout the day and not the night like she is now. Can I change her sleeping schedule to fit mine because the last thing I want is for her to get depressed and hate her life here. (Side note) I’m also looking for a ‘work from home’ job if anyone knows legitimate ones so I don’t have to leave my baby. Besides that I’m a little confused. She has only crab at me once for talking too loud. I think I got pretty lucky with her cause she seems genuinely sweet. But the thing is when I try to put her back in her cage from the bonding pouch (which I’ve only done once cause my grandparents wanted to see her) she gets out of her cage and runs away from me. When I try to get her back in she nips at me and scurries off; literally is a pain in my *** and time consuming to get her back in. This isn’t going to happen when we’re bonded.. right? As much as I would like her to explore, my room is not sugar glider proof. I have a huge tent that I plan to set up for her with a bunch of toys. Is that good enough until I move in a few months? Dec 18, 2019 My sugar glider won’t bond to me Posted by: Gemma_11Hi. I have always wanted a sugar glider and we were offered one from a breeder, he was 9 months old and we were told that he would be easier to bond with and be more suitable for us. Although it’s been 2 months since I got him and he absolutely hates me. He bites whenever I try to hold him or touch him (and his bites hurt a lot) he will do everything possible to avoid me. I’ve tried everything! I’ve even contacted the breeder for help and she ignored all my messages. What do I do? Is it too late? Is he too old now? Dec 4, 2019 Sugar gliders eating only about a cubes worth? Posted by: micahbear123I have two girls who I love to death and I'm a bit concerned with how they're eating? I use a TPG diet and I like to change it up after they eat up all of their food but they haven't been eating very well lately. Their food bowls used to be about empty but now they barely eat. Could I get some advice on what I should try? Oct 20, 2019 She passed Posted by: Rin PrimeMy glider passed away at 2am. I held her as she died against me. Should i still take her to the cet to have them see why she died? Oct 15, 2019 Sugar Gliders For sale Posted by: mcdonavanBeautiful Twin Female and Male (intact) Leucistic Joeys available.
