Emily and Baby
written by Angie I had a beautiful female sugar glider named
Emily, and my wonderful male glider Mojo. Emily was had a baby and I was so excited. They always ran loose in my room and would sleep beside me.
they would all cuddle up beside me as a happy family, and the baby would lie on my stomache. One day I woke up and for some reason I couldn't
figure out I kept feeling depressed and had trouble keeping myself from crying. I didn't know why till later when I came home to snuggle with my babies. And I couldn't find them under my covers. Then I saw a
small lump under my sheets where they sometimes sleep. I petted the lump gently and felt something very wrong. My eyes were watering and my heart
was pounding drastically. I pulled the sheets out and saw that my dear Emily and her baby was flat and dead. I screamed and then cried all night long. I couldn't believe what had happened, I had killed my pets
which were like my little family. I'll never get over it or
ever forget about it. I still gives me nightmares. I hope that no one ever has to go what I went through, please don't let your sugar gliders sleep with you on your bed. I still have my little boy Mojo but after that experience
of seeing his dead mate and joey, he was severaly depressed and I was afraid he would commit suicide. I got him new friends and everything is doing good now, but after pain like that I was suprised that I could
handle getting mates to replace Emily and just going on, but now I know that it was the right thing to do. I hope that no one ever has to through the guilt and pain I went through.
