Just thought I'd update you on these guys progress!

They are growing in confidence amazingly! The other day when I had my horrendous heating crisis and a lot of the sugs went into torpor little Sid was ok with me wrapping him up and bringing him back to a nice temperature and feeding him lots of tasty noms. They will happily clamber all over my hands in their cage and let me stroke them, and tonight Nancy (yes the supposedly scary one!) came and sat on my hand out of the cage for about 10 minutes whilst I bribed her with mealworms and stroked her. I am so so SO chuffed! I tried to get a picture but couldn't find my camera Sad

Just a bit worried about giving them back to the previous owners over christmas in case they decide they're not going to give them back Undecided they're nice people but they don't know the right care requirements for sugs.


awwww those pictures are to cute for words! he looks quiet young from the pictures. Any idea how old they are? If their still quiet young, they may calm down quicker then they would if adults....
Hey Rhi, I think they're about 1 year old but it's very difficult to know!! Sid is the prettiest sugar glider I have ever met, his face is very short and pale, his fur is in crazily good condition, and he has so much white on him I think he may have slightly different genetics to my other sugs.

You're far too kind Jess..I'm not amazing I'm just a crazy glider lady, like a cat lady but with smaller scratch marks  Wink

Anyways thought I'd do another update on these guys while I'm here. They came back fine from their previous owners, though a little less tame than when they went as obviously they weren't held or hand fed at all.

Yesterday however Sid let me hold him fully in the palm of my hand snuggled against my body for aaages! I was so excited I may the man-thing take a picture  Grin unfortunately later that night he got loose after I cleaned their cage and it took me THREE HOURS to get him back, during which he did the longest glide I have ever seen any glider do in captivity it was about 4-5 metres!!

Anyway here are some pics of the terrible twosome, they are much MUCH more mellow these days (especially if you come bearing papaya Wink) and I'd now class them as friendly rather than feral xD
