I would suggest finding a vet locally that can handle gliders. Maybe see if a breeder is around your area and would be willing to talk to you. sounds like something is going on with mommy, something is making her overly stressed?

Thank you. I have called around and there are no vets in the area that handles sugar gliders...we live in a very rural area, so exotics are not easily dealt with...if it was my cow, that would be a different story!! Thanks for the advise, I will see if I can find a breeder in this area.

I do not know the exact age. My niece bought them from an individual and I believe they said they were about a year old at that time, which was in April. I feed Kit & Kat the leadbeater's diet plan. My male, Kit, seemed fine with the babies. When I say they were out of pouch, we never saw them completely out of the pouch. Their bodies would be out, but their heads were always still in the pouch. With the last set, when I witnessed Kat eating one of the babies, Kit was in the other "house"...we have two different hanging houses, that they usually are both together in one or the other, but that particular day, he was in the other house, like he didn't want to witness or be a part of it, maybe?!?!? I am at a loss....maybe she isn't meant to be a momma?!?!?

Karen is right, some gliders don't want to be parents. I suggest getting the male neutered and enjoying your gliders. If you click on the word vet, it will take you to the database and you will hopefully be able to find a vet to take care of your sugar gliders.
