Go to the Breeding & Babies forum & read how to make baby BML. I don't have any experience with rejected joeys, but I know that you will have to supplement them every 2-4 hours & keep them warm. Is mom crabbing at them or attacking them at all, or just not letting them nurse?

For now, make sure that mom doesn't hurt the joey. Crabbing is ok, but if it looks like she's going to bite or scratch at it, I'd pull the joey. Be VERY sure before you pull the joey though. Once you pull it, you will have to fully take over for mom. This means feeding every 2-4 hours & warming & pottying. You'll have to moisten a clean Q-tip & stimulate the cloaca to make the joey go potty. Keep checking in & let us know how it's going or if you ave any more questions.

Thanks, but we don't have a choice she keep leaving him on the bottom on the cage. We put him back in the nest and she brings him out. These belong to my 10 year who has fallen in love with the baby. He is so cute and very loveable.

Try contacting CharlieH. He's located in Wallis, TX and is a glider rescue. He and his wife, Mary, are always willing to help anyone in an emergency. I'm sure they will have lots of pointers for you.
