Sugar Gliders and Ferret

We have a few new arrivals at Small Pets-Big Hearts, Inc. We took in 2 sugar gliders that were abandoned by a room mate that moved out. The person still living at the place , didn't know how to care for them or what to do. We are thankful that he took the time to find us, ask for help and bring them to us. We quickly provided them with a water bottle, pouches, a wodent wheel, toys and fresh foods at night time. They appear to be females, they do not have the fuzzy "pom poms" and scent glands that males have. But one or both might be neutered boys. Once we get them to our vet, then we will know for sure. For now, they are have been named Leona and Julianne. Unless we found out someone has been altered.
Yesterday we took in a ferret named Charlie Brown. His owner couldn't care for him any longer. He is a black eyed , white , 4 year old male. He is a Marshall's ferret , this means he has been neutered and descented. He is now in foster care with Alyssa. Alyssa has been our favorite ferret foster parent.
Both Charlie Brown and the sugar glider will not be placed as adoptable until they have seen the vet for a wellness check up. We will update on their status.
