How do I care for a baby (joey) sugar glider?

We purchased what we thought was 2 males but it turned out one was female! I was holding them last night and then a baby just crawled out of the pouch. It is about 2 inches long and its eyes are still closed and is always clinging to its papa. The tail isn’t fluffy yet. How should I care for it and when should i start to handle it so it can get used to me?

I have one sugar glider and now want to get another…?

I bought my first sugar glider about a month and a half ago. He was in this ratty pet store and didn’t get any attention there and I bought him, or rescued him in my opinion. He’s about a year and a half old and now I wana get him a partner. Should I get a baby (joey) or should I get one about his age? Thanks for any help!
