Do you have the stuff you need? Have you increased their food, you should be giving enough for three gliders so that momma gets extra groceries.

I don't have the stuff I need. sounds like I better get it though. My understanding is that these guys should be putting on weight pretty fast, and I am not seeing that. :-( Is there a good place to buy a "kit" for joey feeding?

Plus trying to keep this formula warm at the same time... I hope I am getting some usable amount into her.. :-\ Weights are...holding...I think. The male's weight might have gone up half a grem...hard to be sure. Their little eyes are trying to open. :-)
