Rejected Joey? - 05/05/20 02:29 PM
Hi guys I really need some advise here. I’m currently staying in a country where sugar gliders are not allowed therefore I am unable to seek medical help if anything happens to my babies.
Recently my girl gave birth to Two wonderful boys and they are currently 2week oop at this point. But just this morning I heard of the joeys crying at the bottom of the cage. I picked him up and place him back with his mother. As soon as I place him back Miko(joey’s mother) kept making noises which is quite similar to crabbing.
Went out to see what’s going on and I notice that Miko would not allow one of the Joey (possibly the one that is found at the bottom of cage) to feed. She would use her head to push his head out of her pouch and would be making noises if he attempts to try again. Do take note at this point one of the two joeys is feeding.
Are these signs of rejection ? And is there anything I can do? Due to COVID-19 most of the pet shops are close and I am unable to get puppy milk replacement and worst still I can’t bring my gliders to the vet. Please advise !
