As an additional note for tonight: Why is it these goofy balls of dryer lint ignore me when I'm hanging out near them and do their own thing, but the moment I climb in bed they (Gwyn) begins barking up a storm demanding attention?
Well, all of them except Arthur tonight... he was being a grumpy fluff-butt, constantly crabbing from the pouch. Well, that is until I put a pine nut in his face, that quieted him down so I could deal with the other squeaky ones. Oh yea, mine do this too. It's their way of telling you, "Hey, get back here! We aren't through ignoring you yet! Where's my treat?!?"

You do realize that: Dogs have friends, Cats have staff and Sugar Gliders have "SLAVES"!

Wow! That is a lot of bottle rings! Mine collect blankies out of the other pouches!!! I would make it a game like you are doing. Maybe the round table will help her collect them.

In the whole time period I've had my gliders I've only found bracelets in their pouch a few times. These were only very specific types of bracelets, very, very thin, a little bumpy and super light. I never figured out who took them in and whether or not they "tail carried" or carried by mouth. For all I know it my have been a joint effort. Anyhow, all my gliders do is eat, poop, pee, sleep, groom, and spin. Oh yeah, and I almost forgot, glare at me

My two prefer pumpkin seeds cracked or broken in half. They will throw whole uncracked seeds out of the cage.... Ugh! Its been really cold here in my corner of Germany. Well, really cold for my corner of Germany and my poorly sealed rental house. With my floor heating set at 20dC (68dF), my house has been able to maintain 62-65dF. Barely. What does that mean?
I get home & curl up in a blanket for dinner in front of a movie with my gliders under the cover with me. They seem to appreciate it as 15-20 min later, they begin to make content popping noises & keep it up until they stir for the night. Glad I can make them happy by body-heat, lol. I'd give them more blankets, but the cram them in the bottom instead of curling up under them :-/ Silly fuzzies. I feel for you! I hope it gets warmer soon! Or, you could enjoy it while you can... When you move stateside, you will be warm, warm, warm... Hot winds blasting your face... Did I mention wind? Lots of it....

Lots of it.... Gahh... will you please stop reminding me! *sigh* only two more years... only two more years... In other news... it got even colder >.< But they are still playing at night & eating well, so I'm not too worried for them. Me? If my add anymore blankets to my bed, it might break. I really should see if the landlord will fix the seal on that window. It fine when the wind isn't strong enough to knock down trees. We're down 3 trees on the block the last few days. It was 15dF last night. Tonight isn't suppose to be as bad, a balmy 20dF. "Hey furbutts, instead of playing all night, want to cuddle to keep warm? No? Okay, the's cool." >.>

Fiona used to do this, and ironically, she came right to me this morning, so we took a walk for a couple of mealies.(Dot can't have any yet. I'll update my post as to why).

Random ponderings around 0020hrs: Do sugar gliders like riding on their human's back because it reminds them of ma & pa glider, they realize that location is the hardest for us to reach, or do they have some kind of 'Master-Blaster' complex? Discuss. (For those missing the reference, Master Blaster was a pair of characters from Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome) (Good movie, I should see if it's on one of the many instant movie services.)

This is a just a guess... I think they ride on mom and dad's back, and our back so they don't get bitten or eaten.

No, not a Master Blaster thing, they would have to be up there hanging onto your ears to direct you. LOL

These are my suggestions IF you really want to try this:
Water can't be hot.
You could cover up with a sheet and over tub.
Dry towels handy.
Just in case,keep noses above water.
Peel out of dirty clothes so they can play explore something near you.Leave snacks.
Can you keep track of all four while relaxing?
Expect a face hug or four.
Toilet lid shut.
Sleeping pouch handy hanging
Low lights and expect your soak to be interrupted or short. No running water...
I can't believe you have a place over there that has a bathtub big enough to soak in!
Are you up to all of that?
I have stepped into the shower with a hitch hiker. They were curious about the running water and wet skin. Got a few drops on their face and were done.
Ha! Thought I'd say absolutely not, didn't you?
If they get wet, they will lose body heat fast. How warm is your bathroom?

These are my suggestions IF you really want to try this:
Water can't be hot. Easy, I usually do 'very warm' instead of 'hot' for my back. Seems to help more.
You could cover up with a sheet and over tub. Hmm... sounds problem problematic.
Dry towels handy. Yup!
Just in case,keep noses above water. If this happens, I'd alreaday be fishing them out. Though, Gywn & Merlin have proven in the past they could swim. (They wanted to help with dishes.)
Peel out of dirty clothes so they can play explore something near you.Leave snacks. I do this for bathroom time anyways. Well, not the dirty clothes part, other than a towel I'm about to change for a resh on anyways. Usually bring their small wheel too.
Can you keep track of all four while relaxing? Pretty normal for our usual bathroom time.
Expect a face hug or four. Pretty normal for our usual bathroom time.
Toilet lid shut. Pretty normal for our usual bathroom time.
Sleeping pouch handy hanging Pretty normal for our usual bathroom time.
Low lights and expect your soak to be interrupted or short. No running water... Dim lights are normal for our bathroom time & my soaking.
I can't believe you have a place over there that has a bathtub big enough to soak in!It's shallower than a usual America tub, but I bend my knees enough, I can get most my torso completely submerged. Since it's my low back with the damaged disk, that's enough.
Are you up to all of that? Doesn't sound too different than our normal bathroom times besides a little extra vigilance, actually.
I have stepped into the shower with a hitch hiker. They were curious about the running water and wet skin. Got a few drops on their face and were done. As I said, two have demonstrated their swimming prowess to me. It was *jump*, &splash-splash-splash*, *leap*, *hide from the towel while making hoo-man's shirt as wet as possible*
Ha! Thought I'd say absolutely not, didn't you? Yup, totally.
If they get wet, they will lose body heat fast. How warm is your bathroom? Always keep it the warmest room in the house, about 75-77 dF. Helps dry things out since Europeans do not believe in active ventilation.

With a shallow tub, they will explore. Stay on you mostly, and be a bit curious about the water. Mine still give it a good sniff if I have it out in bowls.
With the room that warm, a shallow tub, I might try it.
Oh, nothing in water like epsom salt, Mr Bubble, bath salts, oils. Dawn dish soap for bubbles maybe.
I would risk feet, tail and maybe belly getting wet/damp for some good sensory enrichment.
But, I also trust you and your judgement too!

My opinion even with all of your answers to Dawn is . . . . . . . . . . . Not a good idea because any one of them could aspirate water into their little lungs in the blink of an eye which could cause pheumonia or other health issues.
Since they haven't been with you during your relaxation time up until now, why stress yourself having to keep up with your lovebugs?
Keep that time for yourself rather than twisting and contorting your back trying to figure out where they are

Oh the horrible scratches from Skadoosh when dosing her with meds, she actually even bit me towards the last couple of days. And, she's still giving me the cold shoulder.
Well good luck with Arthur anyway.

Hopefully they flavored the medicine for you.
Fiona took hers- oh heck in the beginning they were both fighting dryer lint. But as the process was repeated daily, I got better at anticipating their moves and by they last 3days, Fiona would only put up a slight stuggle, and then just lay there, with her mouth wide open, like, 'get this over with". Dot fought less but not as complacent as her sister.
