@RawrTheWorldGoesBOOM :( he died literally seconds after that comment... i accidentally trod on his head and he got stuck to my shoe. ive had 3 other ones since but they must all be bad cuz they died two... i dun understand i keep them in the fridge like they tell me. gunna get some more in a few days... getting real pissed off now :(
@supawitchming69 Oh, the poor things. Tree felling has such awful consequences!!! At least the guys brought the babies in to you. Fingers crossed for these little ones. They would also need to be kept quite warm in this climate (we usually keep them in a humidcrib).
I'm a vet nurse in a country town.I have just acquired 5 Orphaned Sugar Gliders.They're tree was cut down today and an adult male was killed and about 3 other adults fled.The guys who cut the tree down brought them in as they were quite exposed to predators.Wildlife rescue are taking them tomorrow.They are adorable.I hope they make it.

@ilikethingsfromjapan You're a terrible pet owner and I'm surprised your glider isn't dead. If you haven't killed it yet I'm sure it isn't long before you do.
@slayershayne if you treat them well;) i have 2 of the little stinkers and my female, Gracie is not so graceful, she was given to me by someone that had her but could no longer take care of her. i guess it just takes time to get used to a new owner, thats how it was with my male too. he had 4 owners. im glad i got them though. :D
Gliders, possums, etc, are wild animals and should be left in the wild and NOT kept as pets. The possum was hand-reared after its mother was killed and then released back to the bush.
Please don't do this at home. Sugar Gliders are born, then go into the pouch, but they are only the size of a grain of COOKED RICE, very small for a mammal. They're digestive system is undeveloped. They are ABSOLUTELY RELIANT ON THEIR MOTHER'S MILK!!! They can ONLY properly Sugar Glider Milk. This 'Glider was orphaned and would have died UNLESS they hand fed it. The nipple swells to fill their mouth, and it's difficult to get them off a nipple. Pls wait the 72 days to hand feed.
Absolutely nothing. Just an orphan, as I said above. He was kept in a humidicrib and fed regularly to simulate life in the pouch, or else he wouldn't have survived. He was released long ago though and is still seen by the folks whose property abuts the bush he lives in.
