A Change of Venue

The sugar gliders' life has been pretty normal the last two weeks. Virga and Cirrus have healed nicely, and they are all getting along well. We have been monitoring the weight of all four gliders each day, and Virga and Cirrus have gradually gotten to their pre-surgery weight. The week all four were reunited Virga went into heat, and Cirrus the week after. That seemed to slow their weight gain, but now they are back on track.

Yesterday we took delivery of some new wood furniture for my office, and the finish had a strong odor. We didn't feel that would be too good for the gliders. So, the last two nights we have had "play" time in our bathroom instead of my office. The bathroom isn't as nearly as interesting as my office to run around in. There is nothing good to climb on, as we can't really get the PVC tree into the bathroom. The only thing we have in there is the wheel, which Virga takes full advantage of.  They all like the warm floor (the tile flood is heated), and that's conducive to napping. So play time has been short, and rather uneventful. I am looking forward to having playtime in the office again, as it will be interesting to see their reaction to the changes.
