I have a friend I reached out to that lost her female glider yesturday. The male is lost, and looking for her.

I suggested she join GC, not sure if she has yet, but this is what I suggested to her and if you guys have any other input, please let me know:

Clean the cage of female's scent
Bonding pouch time
Blankies with family scent in sleeping pouch
New toys
Watch for SM
Quarantine for new new glider
Intros
Rescues and older glider adoption

She's not ready to talk new adoption yet.

Did I leave anything out?
Thanks!

Sounds like about right, lots of extra time spent with him and lots of distractions to keep him busy. I'm sorry for her loss, hopefully she'll decide quickly to search for a new cage mate, as the process can take some time.

Thanks Terry, I was hoping I covered most of the bases. Since I haven't had to go through anything like this yet, I've relied on reading other posts here and relaying it to her. I hope I don't have to go through this for a long time...

She knows she needs to get her little guy a buddy, but it happened so fast, I think she's still in shock over it. These little babies really plant themselves deep into your heart and soul...
