Question We just got our sugarglider two weeks ago. As of today on 6/6/08 we got our sugarglider out & was playing w/him. We noticed that his private area was bleeding & now we see a hole. What do we need to do. Your response is greatly appreciated. Thank You
Russell Douthit
Answer Dear Russell:
It sounds like your glider is self mutilating. He needs vet attention ASAP. In the meantime, you can put regular Neosporin on the wound and you can following this link for instructions on how to make an e-collar.
