found baby half eaten,

[paulah]

my sugar gliders had two joeys, the,ve been out of pouch about a month now, eyes open and were doing really well. then last night went in to feed parents and check on babys as i do each night, and found on dead and half eaten though theyed eat the other at firtt but then found theyed moved it, the one that died was the smaller off the two so don,t know if this has anything to do with it, this was there second pregnantcy, the last time they only had the 1 and he done great...so do you think the second baby would be best left in with mum an dad and just keep my finngers crossed???

That's awful, I'm so sorry.

Where have they moved baby number 2 to?  Are there any marks on it?  Are they looking after it?

hi marie, they,ve moved other baby into a pouch i had in there cage, the other baby is doing great, and there being good parents to it, just can,t understand what happend to the other little one

The other one could have been imperfect, there usually isn't any noticable difference in size when in twins unless there is a problem with one of them.  It could be that, or it could be that mum wasn't producing enough milk to feed two joeys.
