I am so sorry that they weren't able to save him. Often times when a glider starts showing signs of illness they are pretty far gone. Don't blame yourself as you did all you could. He is in a much better place now and is no longer in pain. I have you in my thoughts and prayers.

YEa but I mean I could of paid more attention to the both of them... and I sat here today holding him and I didnt know what to do and he was so helpless I could have justfed them better and played with them and now I have a female all by herself on my backporch I think im gonna go get her abd bring her inside with me for the night but I dont wanna freak her out. And I know they can get real depressed and I dont know what I shoudl do find someon to take her that could take better care that has other gliders or if I should just keep her. These are my fist two and its not fair I mean.. I could have done a whole lot more for him that I was just to lazy to deal with and thought they were ok together

I'm soooo sorry, he loved you and you loved him. He's over the rainbow bridge not in any pain and gliding, running and jumping and nothing is wrong! He'll meet you when it's your time!
Please let this be a reminder to everyone that anytime you get to the point of major behavior changes being noticed, the glider is likely in critical condition. Please watch for the slightest change in behavior that could indicate illness. A change in eating habits, social habits, not wanting to come out and play like normal, weakness walking or jumping, not wanting to run, jump, glide as normal.
That's usually indicative that it's time to get to the vet right away. Be prepared to have your vet call another vet that might have more experience, we can usually help you out with that and if it's the middle of the night, we have numbers for then as well.
Again, bad, I'm sorry.

I tried getting the girl but like normal she wont come to me. She is two and I just hope that I have enough time now that I realize how important it is to really bond with her. If not then im sure I can find someone who has friends for her. She just totally ignored me at first but then I took the boys little shirt/blanket and let her small it and she got so excited and I felt sooo bad I took her friend. I just dont want her to end up like him.

Oh I am so sorry. You will need to get her to the vet for a checkup to make sure she is healthy. where are you located? Maybe someone here has a great vet they can recommend. Read up on the bonding section also, she will need you to spend lots of time with her now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

It is never too late to bond with a glider. bonding with her will take some effort and may not go at the speed it would with a baby but can be achieved. One just goes at the pace of the glider. With this glider...I would go with the "Gentle bonding" method and you will find this article in the bonding Forum. The process will not happen over night but with persistance on your part and lots of time...bonding can be achieved between the two of you.

Personally, I would move the glider into the house...as there is no odor with a female if the cage is kept clean. She will become more of a member of the household this way and will help with eleiminating the feeling of isolation for her due to family activity.

I am deeply sorry about the loss of the male. His suffering is over now....may he rest in peace. May your heart heal with time. Take care....and give lots of love and attention to your nippy little girl. She will bond to you now....in time.

I just wanted to give you the link to the bonding article Judie mentioned. I think it is the best way to bond with her as well. It may take a while to bond with her, but it is entirely possible given time. Here is the link Gentle Bonding I am sorry about your male, but he is much better off where he is at now and as others have said you will meet up with him again some day.

I am soooooooo sorry to hear of your loss. The feelings of doubt come natural. I just lost my little girl a few weeks ago, and I blamed myself, and maybe I still do from time to time. It is everyones first reaction I think. But just remember you did what you could, and you were beeing responsible by taking him to the vet. Stay strong for your little girl, and give her lots of attention, as you will find you both need eachother. My prayers are with you. Holly

I'm sorry -- I know how hard it is to lose a glider.

Even though there was an abscess, it's still not clear to me what caused the death of your glider. Did your vet perform a necropsy? If not, you will need to have your female checked out, to make sure she's healthy.

You can, as people have said, certainly bond with your glider. You just have to do it slowly and carefully. It might be good to consider a mate in a few weeks -- your female needs grieving time, too. After the death of a glider isn't the best time to begin the bonding process -- she'll likely be scared and bewildered -- but it can be done, and it's better than having the glider be all by herself.

Actually, she may die from loneliness. You just have to watch any appetite change or behavioral change to make sure she doesn't get sick. How long have they been together?? It may be a good idea to get another one for her so she has a playmate. I think that bonding with her is a good idea. Give her lots of playtime so she feels part of the family.

you may want to place an ad in glider ads for your girl. You may get more responses there. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm realy sorry for your loss <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />. You did the best you could. I don't mean to sound rude but if you don't have the time to spend with your female, then your doing the right thing by giving her to someone who does. That dosen't mean that you don't care about her, actualy it means that you do love her and want whats best for her so don't feel bad about trying to find her a new home.
