Thinking of Breeding? Read this.

[Marie]

Thanks for sharing your experience Danni - I've just highlighted a couple of bits which I think are the worst!  How's the littlun doing now?

and people think breeding suggies is like breeding mice! it not a case of bunging two suggies together and hoping for the best, rejection and mutilation are common problems, especially for the inexperienced.

I just hope these terrible stories make people think twice about breeding suggies.

She seems to be doing great thanks Marie, seems to be a little fighter!! Won't stop moving around which is good and recognises the syringe now so is taking food and water better :-) Iv been getting tips from suzs sugar gliders, and im feeding her every few hours. The website says in one bit to feed 0.3ml -0.5ml every 2-3 hours, then it says to feed until they're full, and another part says feed every 30mins! So im a bit lost!

If Suz is confusing you, don't use it

Heres a more recent one.

Fed them at 7, all was well, everyone fine. Checked on them now before bed, at the bottom of the pouch ther were red lumps and what looks like bones ... honestly thought I was gona throw up. Too scared to put my hand in for a minute, sounds terrible but I'm grateful they didn't leave any body parts that actually looked like the joey. Not sure I could have got the others out.
