Our normal evening routine includes giving each of the gliders their daily mealworm treat. We divide their mealworm ration in two. Cirrus and Virga are on her fast as can be when they hear M shake the container. I usually feed CB and Foehn, who both tend to enjoy theirs from the comfort of the pouch.
Tonight M came in with the mealworms and I went to change clothes. Virga was up and on the wheel already so M brought her in the office, so I picked up the other three gliders on my way back to the office. When I walked into the office M was on the computer but Virga wasn't with her. As I went to sit down there was Virga on my desk, happily munching on mealworms from the container for Foehn and CB. Usually M keeps the containers under tight wraps until we are both ready to hand out the mealworms. Fortunately, Virga had only managed to eat her ration at the point I snatched the container from her. We then had to keep her at bay while we gave the other three their mealworms,
Since I'm on the subject of Virga, she and her sister are doing very well following their surgery in March. This week Virga weighed in at 89 grams and Cirrus at 81. Post-surgery they were both down in the low 70s. They both have a lot of energy for nine year old gliders and we're delighted with their recovery. Their next follow-up visit with the vet is the first week of July so we'll know more then.
