Well I got home from work yesterday to find that one of our cinnamon sugar gliders was in the bottom of the cage. We thought she was dead, but we found she was just holding on. She was very cold and skinny so we thought her mate Hansel had kept Gredal from eating, we gave her some warm sugar water to get her blood sugar up. Since Gliders are prone to hypoglycemia (sp) we figured that would help her come around. Well she drank for a big on and off for a hour or so but after that, it was out of our hands. She was only 2 years old normal life span in captivity is 15 years. She passed at 945 I had left her under a blanket figuring maybe she was sick and she was trying to get into the darkness and rest since they are naturally nocturnal. I just happened to look under the blanket at the time when I saw her take her last breath and then she started to hemorrhage and she was gone for good. She was carrying 2 babies upto the other day too and she must have killed them again. I don't know. Very sad. We are having a necropsy done on her today to find out what was wrong. The place we live has been putting Rat Poison in a powder form in everyone's roofs (doesn't seem like the best idea to me) and wife got a little sick from it and we've had a few roof leaks that they've been fixing so I hope she didn't get some rat poison in her system to kill her.
