So unfortunately the first post on the new forum is a sad one.
I came home from work today and found my 4 year old suggie, Gumby dead on the cage floor. At first I thought he had choked on something, because I gave them some turkey, but after I took him out of the cage, I clearly saw that he was most likely attacked and killed by his cage-mate, Pokey. He is apparently a brother to Gumby, and he has always been missing his toes on his back left foot. He's almost got one big toe.
They had always fought, but never to the point of drawing blood. Maybe they got too aggressive over the meat, I hadn't given them meat in a long time, but I gave them more than enough. Either way, both of his eyes were gone, and one socket was almost picked clean. Also, it looks like his anus was eating too.
Does this strike anyone as odd? I know that in the wild its usually like one male and a bunch of females, and naturally having two males together is not ideal.
I just have never heard of sugar gliders randomly killing each other.
If anyone would like to see the picture of it, I can email them. I think they would be way too graphic to put on here.
