AHHH!!!! I'm heading there to get her! I'm now convinced your gonna steal her!!

I told you earlier she is a mealie pig. And I wasn't a-kiddin'. If you keep offering them, she'll keep eating them. I absolutely love the picture of her in the bowl. I made it my wallpaper. Staring at her as my wallpaper makes it easier to get by until saturday.
2 days left!!

how cute!!! are those little puffy balls the kind they sell for cats? i think i've seen them at petsmart? i'd love to get some of those to put in with the plastic balls in the little barrel... i think our beanie girl would really love it! peanut looks so adorable. i'm so glad she's doing so well.

Be cautious with those balls-supervised play. Some of the threads are metallic, and could cause a blockage if they ingest a piece of one (and we all know gliders). Also, depending on what metals, could also make them sick if they chew too much on one, or get a piece off. I had some of the all foil-ish/metallic ones I got from someone-same thing for those.

She's looking GREAT, B!! More pics.

They are the balls you get in the craft section at Wal mart in a bag.

Jen, ahem. Me? be careful? Supervised play?

I wasn't 1" from her the whole time! She even sleeps with me! (okay, so she's in a big aquarium "fitted" to the center of my bed with a vented top and locked, pillows and blankets all around her and NO, they CANNOT block her top vent cause after having 3 human kids and 3 "heart attacks" that lasted ..well..they are still going on..I can sleep with both eyes open, ears alert and ANYTHING that moves will cause me to bolt upright in bed immediately knowing WHERE the sound came from and from WHOM!)

Anyone know what it's like to sleep with an aquarium?

I told hubby he has to sleep on the couch when he comes in this weekend cause Peanut is sleeping in our bed. He just looked at me like

Seriously though, yes, those types of balls are to be used under supervision only. I am only kidding around with Jen cause she KNOWS me.

Linda, I would love to go to the SGGA this year but most likely will have to wait until next year. We have some pressing things going on right now that will take much time to "fix". Of course, we never know how things may turn out so I'm keeping the idea open! My youngest daughter is moving back in and might be moving to Florida in July to finish college which means I will be going there to help her get settled in. We'll see how it goes.

Yes she will! The fun part is I have to hold them and know when to pull so she can get the guts out and not swallow the rest and I have to squish the guts out for her, rip mealies into, etc. I NEVER thought in a million years I could do this! It's EASY when you love someone and she is SO easy to LOVE!!!

Ha! Welcome to my worldl! I'm still on to yall....

Linda, think we should tell her that we moved to Australia with Peanut? Naaahhhh, let's not tell her just yet!

Peanut! Come down from that tree!!

I might just steal her, too, if I had the chance! She's adorable!!!

B, dear, isn't that true of all of them? I've done that, cut them up in little pieces for Lyah (real ones), cut frozen pinky mice in half....we do what we have to do for our little ones-whatever it takes to make them healthy and happy! I never imagined I could, either-until I did it. If I have to, I have to. And so will you. That is what real love is all about!

Good thing there's no law against murdering mealies, huh?

Let's all gang up and steal my suggie why don't yall? Sheesh. :rolfmao: But I aint gonna let you have her. And if she is in Australia, well then I guess down under I go.

Incase yall haven't been following.....







I get to see Peanut tomorrow!!!

See part 1 Here

Thank you

Here is a pic taken a few minutes ago of Peanut in her pouch with her Teddy Bear. I had to snap a pic before I got her up to eat. She's so pretty!

Peanut and her Teddy Bear

She actually had normal poo today too! Yay!!!

Oh my gosh! She looks so sweet. Probably thinking what a handsome teddy bear!! Is she moving around okay to you? She looks like she's there in that position cause she can't move from it....lol. Thankyou for the pics! I love seeing my baby!!

She is fine

Peanut was sound asleep when I took her out of the incubator and opened her eyes right before I took that pic. She got herself in the pouch and in that position with her teddy this morning.

She doesn't get around to well with the body harness and collar on but she can get around..believe me! LOL She has learned how to turn herself around in my hands to let me know..hey, I GOTTA pee and poo! You'll see what I mean tomorrow.

She figured out real quick that I had snuck vitamins in her chicken baby food last night and gave me "THE LOOK", she wouldn't eat it either! I had to make more for her without the vitamins...soooo, I snuck them in with her yogurt..that worked. hehe

Since she isn't on a normal diet right now, I am giving her Vionate and Yogurt. She is getting yogurt with every meal even if it's just a few licks.

Once the collar/harness comes off, she HAS to start eating her normal foods. She can't hold anything right now and it's impossible for her to spit out solids. I have to help her get the mealie left overs out so she doesn't choke. So far, so good!

Peanut had baby food chicken soup (pureed), macaroni and cheese (pureed), mixed veggies and mango yogurt for lunch. She's sound asleep now. She gets her next dose of Baytril at 9pm and dinner, 11:pm she gets her large drop of the gel meds, then it's playtime.

I was going to add baby Rice cereal to her food cause she has had the runs all this time but today she has normal poo! and boy did she poo! I would have been committed if someone had seen me sitting there all excited over it!

I know that look. When I first got the Vionate and rep-cal, I sprinkled it on her food, and it was like a staring contest at first! The only worse look that little girl can give you is if you take away her mealie!! Now that is a scary look!



YAY!!! I get to see Peanut tomorrow!! You all have no idea how much I've been waiting for saturday to come! And now that it has, I'm gonna make up for that week I couldn't see her. No see for a week = +1,000,000 kisses I'm gonna literally kiss her to death tomorrow!!
Bailey is happy!

LOL can't wait till you get the directions for that! lol

Bailey I just now saw this thread about Peanut! I'm so so sorry she had to go through all of this. I know you were so scared but I'm so thankful that SugarBlossoms and LSardou could help you out and be there for you. God is with your little Peanut and she will be just fine before you know it. She is a strong little girl and she is so blessed to have you and all of the help that she had in her time of suffering.

Is Peanut getting a friend? Emma Elizabeth? How exciting! I'm so glad things are looking better for Peanut, she has been through so much. for you and Peanut!

I got to see my Peanut today!!
When I got there, I got to meet all of sugarblossom's gliders. They are all such sweet hearts !! Then, I got to see Peanut. She still won't hold still for a second, unless she's pottying on momma . I thought she'd have a stub, but sugarblossoms is right; Peanut is a 3 legged glider. There is something there, but not nearly long enough to walk on whatsoever. But that doesn't stop her from fighting my fingers to get up to my shoulder. But she can't fly after this at all. Since their membrane goes connects at their ankle and wrist, and since there is no foot there is no place for the membrane to connect to. Peanut loved gliding. I'm gonna miss her flying from my head to pillows. But she still gets around pretty well. I'm sure she'll do better once she has that big and probably heavy ecollar off of her.
Sugarblossoms is taking VERY good care of Peanut. I know that she's in great hands there with her.
I stole so many kisses!! Momma went kiss crazy!! I'd stick my face close to hers, and she'd reach in and kiss my lips. Then I'd kiss her head. I was so happy with all the kisses I got. She tolerated my kisses as if she knew I only had those few hours to kiss her.
Now, I just can't wait to get my baby back. Me and sugarblossoms might go to the flea market together tomorrow that sold RileyMae to us at 4 weeks old. That won't be very pretty...
Peanut's next checkup with the vet will be on this thursday. Her leg seems to be healing very well.
I got to see my baby today!!

I realized that I need to update yall on how Peanut's doing. The vet is amazed at how strong Peanut's tail is. She uses it as her 4th leg, and it's helping her out. Sugarblossoms says that she's doing very good walking on 3 legs now. She still wants to play, but is not allowed until it heals more. It's healing great though from what she says on the phone. She got a valentines bear, and loves it. She has a thing for bears. She takes them where ever she goes. She's so cute. Sugarblossoms is going to take a picture for me, and I'll post it on here. She's getting very spoiled by Auntie B., and loves the attention. I'm just waiting for it to heal so she can get the ecollar off so I can get her home. I've been talking to SugarBlossoms so I always know how she's doing. She's still taking AMAZING care of her.

i am so glad to hear that peanut is doing so great. hopefully she will be able tp come home with you soon.

Wonderful!!

I come to you all more upset than I think I ever have here on the board.
I tried calling SugarBlossomes a few nights ago, and found it odd that she didn't call me back. Last night, I overheard my mom on the phone saying somethinga bout sugar gliders and how she'd "talk to me about it." At dinner, the news was broke to me.
I have to make the hardest decision of my life. Peanut is not doing good. The vet took her ecollar off her, and the hair there has been rubbed off. But by what Bridget has said, it's growing back well, and she doesn't see any "bald spots."
But there's alot wrong. They found out she has a UTI. Then, they found out the reason she broke her ankle in the first place was because she has something wrong with her, making her bones brittle. They don't know if she was overbred too much before she came to me, or if it was because of her bad diet she was on before. They know though that if she had stayed at the flea market person I bought her from before, that she wouldn't have made it until now. .
So now, I'm having to do this. She needs 24/7 care for the rest of her life. As you all know, I'm in school, and can't do that. I would skip all that school if I was allowed, but that isn't. Now, I have to tell her to keep Peanut. My baby girl. I'd be allowed to visit whenever, and see her all the time. But you all have no idea how bad I was looking forward to my baby to come home. Now, she won't. I'm scared that her living with Bridget will let her forget me.
I don't want to give up my baby ever. But I know it's not what I want, but what's best for her.
I hate that the update is so sad, but I'm heartbroken. I know Bridget would take the same amazing care of her, but you all can understand how this is hurting me.

Awww Im so sorry to hear that. Just know our thoughts an prayers are with you!!!
