But we are now the proud parents of a baby sugar glider - a little boy, 37 grams.
How cute is he!?!
He was found in a tree that had been cut down. His mom and siblings probably moved on after the tree was cut down, and he was left behind. He will be released eventually, so our job now is to get him to that stage. He's on 5 feeds a day: 6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm, and 10pm. Other than that, he pretty much hangs out in his pouch.
And he still needs a name, so suggestions are welcome!
oh my goodness, how adorable. Is sugar glider a type of bat?

No, gliders are a different type of flying mammal - they're kind of like flying squirrels. The person who cut down the tree mistook them for bats, though. And yes - very adorable!!
ReplyDeleteI like Ben's suggestion for "Rocky"!
