My sugar glider won t eat or drink just laying around what can I do?

Take out the sugar glider, wrap him in a fleece blanket and keep him warm. On his neck, slightly lift his skin, if it stays tented for more than a few seconds he is dehydrated and should be fed plain pedialyte with an eyedropper until he refuses to drink anymore. Keep him warm or else he will not drink. Can he move, or does he seem paralyzed and dazed? He could have a serious calcium deficiency.

Continue to do this until you can get to your nearest exotic emergency vet.

I have wild ones using my blue bird house as theirs so give it a bird house and some grasses, yarn, cotton and strips of clothe to make it's nest. Mine cover the hole during the day I guess to darken the house for sleeping. The hole is covered with cotton and grasses.

drinking very minimal and laying at bottom of cage..we were told to try orange juice with crushed tums..didn't seem to help.anything else we can try ..our other one is fine..we r worried .he was freaking out earlier has calmed down since tho..
