I don't have a picture right now (no camera available), but one of the babies is out of the pouch & unattached from the nipple. It's quite small and completely pink. The mom is only about 8-9 months old and seems to be denying it re-entry to the pouch. I know the chances of a baby living with such a young mother are small, but what would you suggest I do? Right now, I've put it into the big pouch where they always are and the father seems to be taking some care of it (licking and whatnot). Would the best thing be to just hope that it reattaches, which I think it probably can do if the mom lets it. Or would trying to take care of it be best or what?
Thanks for your help.

I dont really know the answer but I think that still being pink there is little chance of it surviving handfed or of attatching to the nipple again. I cant tell you which to choose but either way you'll probably lose the joey.

Any updates? Read through Suz's hand raising a joey it has helped many. You might need to start either supplementing or handing feeding. If momma will take her back to clean after you feed then you will only need to supplement. Is the babys cry strong with a hiss and squeek at the end or is it soft just hissing. Is the baby cold or warm? I am not the best when it comes to handing feeding becuase I have never had to do it. But keep us posted and we will try are best to help you. Suz (sugarglidersuz) is really good at helping with hand raising.
