Sugar Glider Joey problem! Help!?

Posted on July 9, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I have 3 sugar gliders that I had bought in June 2007. I bought two 1 year old boy and girl and one baby one that was only about 3 or 4 months old so I never got to care for that one as it was being born. The mommy sugar glider always follows my fingers on the cage when I move them around, and just now I noticed her pouch opened and I have never seen it opened before..does that mean the Mommy could possibly have a joey in there? I have checked her out for 2 days though I have been busy for the past 2 days. The mommy and male are not neutered and able to reproduce. Any suggestions or advice or tips?

My husband and I just adopted 2 cute little sugar gliders! One girl and one boy, they are almost a year old. They came from below standard living conditions, they’re cage was a very tiny little bird cage and they were never really taken out. They were only fed quiko sugar glider food and thats about it. Even though they werent played with they are somewhat tame and eat fruit out of our hands and don’t crab too much. I just wanted to ask the experianced glider mommy and dadys out there afew questions;
1.The cage smells awful!Theyre poo is caked to the side of the cage, we can’t seem to get it off.Whats a safe way to clean it?
2.Is the quicko food ok?What else should we feed them,when and how much?
3.We had them out of their cage last night and they would climb on our hands and bite us.They even drew blood on my thumb. How do we bond w/older gliders and will they always bite people they don’t know?
4.What do u recomend as a cage liner? They were using kitty liter.
Thanks!!
