i feel sooooo sorry for you and Pika!

Suz, I finally watched the video and it just makes you want to pick her up and hug her! Seeing just a few moments of this has been enough to make so many of us cry, so I can't imagine how much you're hurting. First the loss of Cricky and now watching Pika hurt!
There are so many people on this board who are keeping you both in our thoughts and hearts.
I'll be interested to hear what MaryH has to say and if she agrees another special needs baby would be best, any modifications to introducing them. Knowing how I've had to modify Flo's cage, I still think a young active glider would not do well. I also think it might be a bit overwhelming for Pika, but she was used to Cricky doing his laps around the cage. Let us know what you decide.

aww... poor baby girl. I feel for her! My glider geranimo used to make that noise before we got him a cage mate, it's such a horrible sound and it makes me feel so bad, I hope you can find her another buddy so she can be happy again

Oh, that is just too sad! Poor baby, she just doesn't understand. I'm sorry you are both going through all this. Animals can grieve very hard for their mates. I pray her heart will heal soon (both of your hearts!)

I didn't say in PM, but when you have her on you...keep her next to your heart. I know with Riker, he'd get worse in a pouch, but improved in my shirt where he could hear my heartbeat and share warmth...with her being blind that might be even more important to her. Worth a try.

Poor girl. I just want to give her a big kiss right on that cute little forward of hers.

OK, so about 11 days until Pika can have a friend. I'm glad sil has a good prospect for you. Let us know how they do once they meet. I'm just glad there's hope for Pika to be happy again!

Suz, my heart wrenched to watch that video...nobody here at work understands the tears streaming down my cheeks.

I'm so HAPPY you've chosen to get her a new friend. She needs one SO DESPERATELY.

If there's anything we can do to help, please just say so.

As far as names....is this going to be a boy? If so, I think Gabriel would be the PERFECT name (a little angel for your Pika).

Give Pika extra hugs & kisses from all of us...there are only 10 days now!

Suz, I'm so glad that Pica is going to have a friend soon. I think this will be good for her & give her something to love & Mother. Give that sweet girl a kiss from me.

I'm so glad she's going to have a friend!! Wishing her and her "baby" many more years of happiness!

Suz I am glad Pika will be geting a little one to love on. Please keep us postedon how everything goes. I am excited for you and Pika!
Best Wishes

Oh Suz, they're beautiful!!! I'm so glad Pika had a good day today. Maybe she knows how many people are thinking of her...she's a very special glider.

They're adorable! Congrats on Pika's new friend and on a good day for her as well

Suz, I am so so sorry that you and Pika are having to feel so much sadness. It's true people sometimes just don't realize that "animals" feel almost as much as humans. I wished I knew what to say or do to help. Everyones suggestions are great! As to your concern on getting a little one because of the cage setup, I wonder if maybe you could set it up to where there were two cages connected (sorta like a tunnel passing thru from one to the other. Oneside for Pika and the other for the other glider to play. Has she ever had joeys? I'm wondering if she had a joey to "nurture" (it's like with us humans, sometimes our pain will lessen when we can help or love another in need). She sounds like a very loving girl, and this could help lessen her grief.
I agree, she dose need a companion. I feel that this emotional upset of saddness will take a toll on her health. Please know that your in my prayers and the angles above are looking after you and your baby girl.

I am sorry, I missed the last page here...gee wizzzzzz, what wonderful news! I am so happy that you did find a companion for Pika....(I left my original post) just so you knew that I was praying for you earlier. Good Luck and Blessings to you , Pika and her new companion!
