Oh my Gosh I'm so sorry...I'm beside myself right now, I feel absolutely horrible. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crying.gif" alt="" /> I will be praying for the babies you have with you! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frostyangel.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

Ohhhh, how sad. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crying.gif" alt="" /> I feel for you as well as for your sick gliders.

Praying that all will be on the mend now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the update Bill. We are anxious to hear of the updated progress of the others. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Oh Bill, I'm sooooo sorry to hear of your losses! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crying.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crying.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crying.gif" alt="" />
I'm glad you found a good vet who was able to find the cause.

You are a great glider dad to have driven so far to help your little friends. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" />

This post will be a help to others who (God forbid) find themselves in a similar situation or (better thought) help someone avoid the circumstances that caused it for both you and Sheila.

My heart goes out to you and your remaining gliders. I hope they continue to get better!

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am very sorry for your losses. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> I pray the rest pull through-you're a great glider parent and are doing all you can. Keep us updated on your babies. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> keep us updated, you are in my thoughts...

For us in the south with the HIGH temp and humudity right now..what should they be? I have seen the them as 70 - 85F
...is this right? But what about the humudity.

I am keeping you and your gliders in my prayers!

What I have read is that optimal humidity in the Austrailian areas gliders live is appx 45%. Hope that helps!

For those of you that were at the SGGA this year, you each received a *Did You Know* fact sheet. Just thought I would post here one of the things that were on there. I thought this was interesting when I first found it online while researching different things to put on this sheet.


Gliders are often kept at temps between 64 and 75F degrees. This is at the low end of their comfort level, so a supplementary heat source should be provided. They can cope with temps up to 88 but above this they will have difficulty controlling their body temp and may suffer from hyperthermia.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Bill, and that all is on the upslide now. We are all here for you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />.
