We got the stuff, oh yeah! Watch us BENCHPRESS our BML!

OK, so you have met "the kids" - now - how about meeting the extended family? The mommy, daddy, and the rest of the gang...

Please forgive the camera angles. This video was shot with a Cingular 8125 SmartPhone in low-light conditions, and I had to shift positions a couple of times. The crabbing you hear in the background is Thing 1, who is angry that I had accidentally bumped his pouch.

This video was a temporary cage setup when I discovered the tiny joeys when I first got home; so, they needed a smaller "escape-proof" cage. Also, when bringing rescues home, the first week or two, it is highly recommended to put them on a straight BML Diet Plan so that they get all of their vitamins and proper nutrition. Each night, I noticed they'd clean the plate before I actually went to bed; so, I increased their food each night (since we had a nursing mother in there). After about three days, and 10 cubes per night, it was time to move them onto the full diet... these kids were ravenous.

Now, I don't like using water bowls, AT ALL, but I did, in this case, because I wasn't sure if they knew how to use a water bottle. I have them acclimated now to their new cage, and we are using the side-feeders and water bottles supplied from Suncoast Sugar Gliders. I love their products!!
