You will find everything you need to know here on sugarglidersuz web site.
Hand Raising a Joey

Is the baby furred by chance? You need a digital scale so you can monitor his weight. Weight will help determine how much to feed and how far apart the feedings should be.

If pink or gray colored skin (no fur)... the odds may be stacked against him for surviving.

Pictures of the wee one are needed to tell how far along he is.

Good Luck.

Just checking to see how the little one is doing this morning.

we made it through the night! (although I am tired) lol. She is strong and eating well, although its like trying to hit the eye of a squirming needle with a noodle. lol

There is NO fur, Judie. She is pink with bits of grey pigment, I will take a pic after she wakes up again (we have set up camp in my cleavage)

thats a good sign that u made it thru the night!! prayers are with u

Thank you for the update! I'm so happy to hear that she is doing good so far. Keep up the good work!

Thanks again to all who have helped (I'm not through with you guys yet, I know...)

So far the little critter is doing well! She is still dehydrated, but warm and eating and pooping, so we're making progress! She is so tiny! I'm gonna try to get some pics posted for any age guesses.

Thanks for the update!!

Pics are in album "orphan baby".

Oh my goodness! It's so tiny! :o It's truely a miracle that it's still alive!

If he makes it(I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for him!) then that's going to be a very special boy and I'll bet he'll be the best bra baby ever!

It pulls up a huge picture, but that baby is a miracle by far! How tiny! I will pray that evrything works out!

That baby looks under baked to my inexperienced eyes. Keep us updated!

i hope she does, she's a super trooper. I have always had a way with bottle babies but man this is a challenge. shes like a little fetus. but she is so strong, its unreal. if she makes it shes never gonna move out of my bra. except for three hours shes been in there the whole time so far.

Wow - so tiny. My gang and I are wishing you the best of luck.

LOL alden- thats a good way to phrase it. She was accidentally knocked out of pouch by the lady's child (noone knew mama was preg. My sweet little inbred orphaned fetus- god help us. lol

any of my pouch customers- bear with me... I may get a bit behind (and sleep deprived). Must... get... coffee.....

wow, she is tiny! i'd say about 2, maybe 3 weeks preemie.. it's awesome that she made it through the night, that proves she's a fighter. Prayers continue for her to live a long happy healthy life!

WOW I have never seen anything so tiny. Good luck and our prayers are with you. Keep us posted.

wow what a tiny little miracle. praying she makes it. keep us posted. and good luck.

and prayers for that tiny sweet little one!

so many prayers are comming your way from me my daughter and all our little gliders too!!!

She's tiny and beautiful! That she made it thru the night shows her strength and determination! And YOURS! Best wishes for this little miracle. Please, keep us updated as much as possible. I would take pics every day or two to document her growth and progress. What an amazing photo album that will be!

thank you. its like the first few days of having a baby again, I have only put her in the incubator twice and I was a nervous wreck both times.

if she makes it shes gonna have issues. lol

It's hard to say, my feeling is at this point if she is getting all the proper nutrients, pottying normally, and is developing normally she has a great chance without problems.
Were you able to get a weight on her? If you can, try and start weighing her to make sure she is gaining weight.

I don't have a digital scale, just postal. I will try to find one though.

On a WOO-HOO note, we have hit the 24 hour mark since I got her!!!!! AND... She just celebrated that by crawling out of my bra and onto the neck of my tshirt (so at least she's a little hercules).

in for long night #2...
