I heard noises comming from the pouch sounded like singing looked in it and OHHHHH MYYYYY a baby !!!!! Im so excited! But im new to the sugar glider thing but loving it so far. Now what do I do ?Please help so i can do the right thing!!!!!!! Yahooooo im so happy YAHOOOOOOOO
just let mom and dad take care of the joey.................................They know exactly what to do. When the joey completely detatches from the nipple and If mom and dad are tame they might let you hold the joey a few minutes at a time with a scent blanket from their pouch as to not freak out the joey. Did you read that link I gave you sor sugarglider Suz website???? It should answer all your questions. I know you are excited! and now we know what the pink thing was a joey IP mom had probably just finished cleaning. Honestly thoufh...............you never noticed huge bumps in her pouch??? Do you handle your gliders at all..............................................jus wondering!
Yes i do handle them and no I didnt feel any thing ive only had them about 2 months or so. I just want to do the right thing is all i moved the pouch closer to bottom of cage. And yes i did go to that site very useful info .
Oh wow then she was with joey when you got her. Congrats!!! make sure there are no other pouches or nesting areas in the cage. Mom and dad are going to keep the joey in the pouch until he or she is about 3-5 weeks old.................dad will literally hold the joey down.........LOL
According to Cora, the mother had the baby IP when you purchased her. Out of curiosity, where did you purchase your Gliders from and did the breeder, or owner mention this to you?
Thanks
