Sigh, my male baby SG died yesterday. Two possible causes - one, there was a hardened piece of shit on his anus for a few days, which I discovered too late. After I removed the shit, a lot of shit came out, and that might mean he isn't eating properly for a few days. two, he is too young. The first thing he did when I introduced it to the baby female is to climb onto her back, things that a baby SG does with his mom (I'm guessing, since they are all marsupials). He didn't make it

Buried him yesterday night, and was moody for the whole day. Luckily the baby female Kiki is doing well. She's already jumping around the cage, practicing her gliding techniques by jumping from the roof of her nest to a bunch of fake leaves. And without the male now, she is extremely clingy to me.
I moved the cage downstairs to the living room so that my mom can play with it whole day. Hopefully she will survive past adulthood!
Now I got a question - do I need to buy another baby SG to keep her company? Or I'm thiking of giving her up for adoption... but only to those who already has sugar gliders and knows how to take care of her. I already witnessed the death of one, I don't want this one to die too.
Please help.
Sorry to hear that. It's hard to lose a glider.. reminded me of my little GongGong

It's ok to take care of one glider only.. a few forumers are doing this, like crazymouse, smellyocheese, hamster9, etc.. Just spend more time with her. If you're working, possible can bring her along. I'm babysitting hamster9's Chiwek now, bring him to work with me also since he will be alone if I left him at home.. My existing gliders is a pair so they can play with each other. Good luck..

I don't know if she is just rebellious or antsy or mean. She was bullying poor Roscoe yesterday night. Like fighting with him

Then she segregated herself from him, which she usually never do because she likes curling up with him to sleep. This morning I found her curled up at the top of the cage wrapped in the t-shirt I put on top the cage - like in a cocoon.
And she refuses to come out. Sigh...
Seems like she's having some problem. Loneliness maybe? It's rare to see glider refuse to sleep with their mate. Perhaps start bonding again? My friend always have no time for her glider so her glider become wild already.. always attack ppl and bite ppl until bleed. I don't hope Rene and Roscoe become like that

They were so cute and clingy when they were young~
