That's great that you have them in separate cages and will keep them separated. Here are some threads on why we recommend separate cages for at least 30 days:

Why we quarantine... (sorry, long.)
Introducing 2 Gliders
How do I go about introducing new sugar gliders?

It's great you'll be taking him to a vet, but a wound the size of a dime on a critter that size, if you can imagine, is like a wound the size of a softball on us. He really should be seen by a vet tonight to have that wounded properly treated, and to be given pain meds. Gliders hide their illnesses extremely well (it's a survival tactic in the wild), and by the time we see symptoms, it's almost too late. He's got to be suffering a lot right now to have begun mutilating himself. worried

He will get stressed being in the e-collar, and it will be heart wrenching watching him thrash about in it, but it is the only way to keep him from self mutilating. You absolutely must put the e-collar on him, and keep it on. It must be snug enough that he can't wiggle out of it, but not too tight that it cuts off his circulation.

You may want to talk to Jen (xfilefan). She would be able to tell you if you need an e-collar on your baby and how to get it on him.

The round thing on his belly? Are you reffering to his pom? Also what type of edible hut, these are unsafe for gliders, did he consume alot of it?

yes i am talking about his pom. it is a hut for hamsters & small animals so they say. i do not think he ate any of it he didnt even hang out in it much. but with the cotton test it is very harsh.

Hopefully by now you have gotten him into an e-collar and will be bringing him to the vet if you haven't already done so. Please do take a few minutes to register. I'm going to move this over to Health & Hygiene now, so you will need to be registered to post an update for us. We really worry about these little ones worried

I believe the cotton ball test she was referring to is when you run a cotton ball over the house/toy/etc to see if there are sharp or loose edges/material that could harm a glider. If there is cotton left on the "thing", whatever it is, it could be a potential hazard.


I hope your little guy is okay...please keep us posted.
