In about an hour I'll be going to the vet with Fagan and Twizzler, we are seeing Dr.T :)
Fagan has a lump near his neck and it has gotten a bit bigger since I first saw it. I can pull it away from his body, it doesn't seem to be attached to anything only the skin. I just want to have it looked at, find out what it is, can it be removed?
Twizzler ( the sugar glider) is going in for a check -up, have everything looked over. I am bringing Rollo with too so Dr.T can check on his healing status after the neuter.
I'll report back after the appointment.

Is it hard to care for sugar gliders?
Hello Lyra :)
sugar gliders do have unique care that is different then most other small pets
About sugar gliders. They do have a very unique diet. It should consist of 25 percent fruits, 25 percent veggies, and 50 percent protein ( crickets and mealworms)
They can be given baby foods and nectar as well.
They are VERY nocturnal, these 2 do not wake up until 10 PM or after, and they hate being disturbed during the day as they sleep. They love to sleep inside little pouches, it is easy to make ones out of fleece.
They like having perches and landings in their cage, it is recommended to have at least one sand or cement perch to help keep their nails trimmed down.
They need a nice roomy cage that has small enough bar spacing. flight cages made for birds work well, or a cage designed specifically for a sugar glider.
If you go with only one sugar glider make sure you have plenty of time to spend with him/her. A lonely, bored sugar glider almost always barbers their own fur.
And last but not least, be certain you have a local exotic vet on hand that sees sugar gliders. It helps a lot to develop a good relationship with your vet, and have routine examinations.
These are only some things about sugars, but they are main points.
Wow that does sound hard. Thanks for those points a while ago the place I voleenteer were going to get sugar gliders but decided not to cuz they were hard to care for. There awfully cute though i hope Twizzler gets adopted soon! thanks again
