PLEASE remember to always check to make sure every glider is accounted for when doing laundry! I had quite the scare today when I took the toys and bedding out of the reptarium where the girls are kept. I checked the nest box that they sleep in and thought I saw 2 tails, so I took the laundry basket with their fleecey vine, one pouch, bedding blanket, and sugar bender in it to the washing machine. I checked the blanket for any lost gliders and put it in the washer, and when I grabbed the fleecey vine Saccharin came falling out of it! I snatched her up and put her in my shirt, she was no worse for wear, but PLEASE check everything before you wash!! I'd have never forgiven myself if I had just dumped their bedding in the washer instead of checking each item individually! I ran upstairs and double checked that they were both in their box before finishing.. what a scare! Be careful!!!

a few years ago I had a similar incident.
I had a pair with joeys.
went to hose down the cage outside. so I took out the sleeping pouch and looked inside, I saw mom and dad. it was the middle of the day and the babies were to young to be venturing out yet (so I thought)
so, i turned the hose on and heard a crab...in a coconut was a baby. He didn't get wet but gave me a scare of a lifetime.
I now do baby counts before hose downs.
