Hi, I just got my sugar glider today and I think it might be sick.
It’s a male, 6 weeks old.
Our place is air conditioned but set at a temperature of 27degee Celsius.
There was a few moment where he portrayed something that looked like spasm/seizure,
And his tail was spinning.
I’m not sure what to do and not sure if he is sick.
Something just doesn’t feel right.
Is there anyone still here in this forum that can help me?
Thank you so much!

He is young and that is not good but since he just arrived it could be almost anything. It could be stress from the move or stress from separation from parents or both. He could also just be lonely (most gliders do not thrive without companionship). What kind of cage is he in? What did you feed him? It is also daylight if you are in the Americas. Did he sleep at all? Do you have a pouch or nesting box for him?

But the advice above is best to start. Get him back with parents or to a vet.

If he is shaking, that's normal he's stressed. Seizures are a problem since he is so young. A vet check is needed. Because he is stressed, his blood sugar may be low because he's burning extra calories. Try some watery fruits or honey water. He could be dehydrated too.

27c equals our 80°f. Temperature is fine.

Hi,
I’m in Singapore and they do not allow sugar glider as pet so I kind of got him illegally.
I fed him fresh fruits but he didn’t eat it. Yes, there’s bed and all. I used a bird cage which is pretty big.

The person you got him from who do they use for vet care? Usually vets do not turn people in for having illegal animals. It would be a good idea to have him checked over.

What are you feeding him? Does he have a clean water source? diets are pretty strict on what they need to be happy and healthy.

I’ve returned them to the seller and he took them to the vets.. he told me it was due to dehydration. But when I tried to feed them water and fruits when they just arrived. They refused to eat Nor drink them. Any suggestion regarding this?

Give him some scrambled eggs for protein, yogurt, veggies, fruit.

Yes, please join the forum and keep us posted on your little one.

My little one love the baby organic food in the pouches the can just use their tongue you can get veg and fruit ones I also feed fresh foods also
