We found Skyy last night completely non responsive. I was able to get the joey out of her pouch without any problem (this is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do). The joey we believe has only been in the pouch for about a month maybe a week or two longer. So we have been feeding with an eye dropper over night and so far this morning the joey is ok. The joey is only about 1 1/2" long without the tail and is still white/pink. Stoli, the father, is a sometime aggressive and we fear that he would hurt the joey so we have decided this would not be a good option. Any thoughts or comments at this point would be helpful.
This has been a very tough 24 hoursCry

Thanks!!

I hope Skyy is okay. That sounds bad. And here I am wanting a sugar glider.

I encounted a simliar experience unfortunatly. Our glider mom had twins, the girl was more healthy and opened her eyes about a week before the male did. I was up every 3 hours at night and took them both to work with me. Eye droppers and small plastic surenges is what i used... every feeding i made sure that they got plenty of water, and i got some milk formula for them from the pet store too. Its gonna be hard, but wellll worth it. Let me know if you have any questions.
