Sweet Baby Sugar GliderHer/he is wrapped in a small towel. Like maybe a hand towel.
Sweet Baby Sugar GliderAnimal Control examined the baby Sugar Glider and found her/he to be healthy and disease free.
google... "Sugar Glider"
Sugar gliders are marsupials; the young are born very immature and grow in a pouch on the mother's abdomen. Sugar gliders have furry membranes that extend from their wrists to their ankles (the membrane is called a patagium) that allows them to glide through the air. In the wild they move from tree to tree by gliding. Their hind feet have a large, opposable big toe that helps them grip branches, and the second and third toe forms a grooming comb.The ability to "fly" or glide when they spread out in this parachute fashion is similar to the ability of the Flying Squirrel. But other than that, they are very different animals than the Flying Squirrel.
We want to thank all you kitties for visiting our blog and reading about the mystery toilet guest. It was a lot of fun for us...we hope you had fun, too!
*Some of you kitties want to know what happened to the Sugar Glider... he/she was released back into nature.
We hope and pray, it will be very happy and safe.
He looks a lot small than our squirrels! We're glad he's healthy and ready to glide another day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun adventure! He sure is a cutie-patootie! We hope he gets a home or released back into the wild or whatever is the right thing to do with him :-)
ReplyDeleteHe sure is cute. Are you going to keep him?
ReplyDeleteMy hubby used to have pet squirrels and said they make great pets. I'm not sure about finding one in the toilet, though. It would have scared me, too.
Oh, one thing about keeping squirrels as pets, they do gnaw up anything and everything in the house.
ReplyDeleteWhat will happen to him???
ReplyDeleteWe wondered what one of those look like! Glad that little one is safe....hopefully a home can be found it.
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed it. Jan did, but only after she read that it was NOT a rat!
ReplyDeleteHe's a cute little thing.
What a cutie! Glad to hear he is back in the wild where he belongs.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cutie patootie!

ReplyDeleteHe really is very cute! But I could see how he might look a little rat-like when he was all wet.

Sugar gliders are adorable. Mommy thought about adopting one but they are very high maintenance (even worse than us cats). We are glad that the animal control lady recognized it for what it was!! Now how the heck did it get in the toilet!?!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and offering your condolences. It has helped a lot. We have found great comfort in the CB.

Wow, that was the most exciting thing we've heard about in a long time. But, we still don't understand how that baby squirrel got in your toilet!
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting morning!
ReplyDeleteWe are so happy that the little baby is OK!

Really excellent story! Glad it had a happy ending. That little guy sure is cute. We've got squirrels, but we've never seen a Sugar Glider before.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! we hope (s)he won't come back, hahahahahahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteCute when he isn't wet. But I hope he stays outside for you!
ReplyDeleteWell that was a lot of drama for such a tasty looking little guy... oh did I say tasty, I meant cute.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that the story had a happy ending. The baby sugar glider sure is cute. I will always wonder how it ended up in the toilet. Looking for a drink of water, maybe?
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! A sugar glider? How cute is that?
ReplyDeleteLuf, Us
He/she is quite cute. I am glad there was a happy ending!
ReplyDeleteOh, *GIGGLE*! What a funny and sweet story. I'm glad the little glider is okay. What an experience! :)

I mentioned your sugar glider in my toilet mystery post today. I guess humans can get excited about things in the bowl.
ReplyDeleteyour mystery visitor was cute, however, not a sugar glider. Just an adorable flying squirrel ;) You can see the difference here: http://tinyurl.com/65d2bo
ReplyDeleteYep, that is definitely NOT a Sugar Glider, but an adorable Southern Flying Squirrel. :)
ReplyDeleteMake that a Northern Flying Squirrel
