They are both neutered but one started hurting the other. I have them in separate cages now. The one smaller one has had a rough couple months. He has been on antibiotics and eye drops. He has been grooming so much he has lost the fur off his tail and it looks like he is self mutilating. Any thoughts on what I can do t help him? Thank

It sounds like the male needs to be seen by a vet as soon as possible. His tail may be broken or has been bitten and requires antibiotics. I'm glad you separated them. As both will continue to overgroom tail. Please keep us posted. Dawn Be patient, and Trust your journey.... Grace Ruby Mom Fiona, Dot, Stewie and Dad Wish I could turn back time... Miss you all...

Thank Dawn has given you good advice. Why were antibiotics given in the first place? Having a recheck to see if the condition is still present is a good idea. It's possible his cage mate was bullying him because of his illness. We know that gliders self mutilate because of pain, so definitely have him checked. They can do lots of damage in a short amount of time. Again I apologize for the late response. Your Sugar Glider Resource Center Sugar Glider Help
