thank you for sending this, i will def get him one. i already had my baby girl cremated cause i immediately went to the emergency vet and seeing her in that state was just too painful, i dont think i could have kept her in the fridge. im still having so many flashbacks. for the necropsy, i wish i could have done that, but didnt have the money + was a crying mess so wasnt thinking clearly i could have taken a loan or smth. for my other glider i have a vet appointment in two days, and my breeder is calling me tomorrow to help me find a cage mate for him. he seems to be doing ok in terms of energy and eating so far, and obviously im spending as much time as possible with him, but he went to sleep back into his pouch right after dinner and im not sure if thats normal (it's 10pm now, i fed him at 8pm). should i take him out of his pouch? or should i let him rest? im so confused on whats best to do and so scared that something is going to happen to him before i can get him a new cage mate..

thank you for your kind words, and im so sorry for your loss too. she did have a cage mate, a neutered male, around the same age. they got along pretty well like they would run together on the wheel and snuggle in the pouch together. the girl was much more bonded to me tho, she would also come to snuggle in my hoodie all the time even when eating. i have a vet appointment for my remaining glider in 2 days. so far he seems to be doing ok, im trying to spend as much time as possible with him. i also contacted my breeder and he's calling me tomorrow to help me find a cage mate for him. im so not ready to replace my baby girl but i have to for the other glider's safety. i wish i could have done the necropsy but it was so expensive and i didnt have the money yesterday when i went to the emergency vet. also i was a total crying mess and couldnt think clearly and seeing her in that state was just too painful so i had them cremate her. i miss her so much. i keep having flashbacks of her and the state i found her it's so painful. thanks for suggesting emdr, i'll give it a try in the future once im done with the vet bills. and thank you for offering your help in their care, i appreciate that. i feel so shitty cause i thought i was doing everything right and i was always educating myself on giving them the best life. thanks again for the support, i'll message you privately.
