Help me!!

Oh man, I haven't even gotten the twins yet and all I think about is them! What can I make them, what can I buy them, will they like me, will everything go smooth, have I gained enough knowledge in the day and days and hours and hours on the iPad. Luckily I go back to work tomorrow after a week and half off after a minor surgery. But I still have 2 books on my iPad that I can read and reread when I need my fix...oh and I have my photos :-) I try not to talk about them too much when my hubby comes home. He is excited about them...but more normal person excited, it doesn't consume his day...LOL.

Aw...don't stress! It'll all come along just fine, I swear. It just takes time, patience & lots of love! I think they are lucky to have someone like you to fret over them.

You can make them a ball pit and/or toy bin?
You can set up their fleece cage set (if you already have, if not Viciousencounters makes an awesome cage set).
You can buy some yogurt drops for treats and store in a cool dry place.
You can get fleece squares and tuck them in your shirt and get your scent all over them as prep work for bonding.
You can make some toys using the tutorials listed here or google sugar glider toy tutorials to find them elsewhere.
You can buy them a safe wheel. I have a Fast Track & a Stealth: both are awesome!
You can spend time cleaning all toys & cage sets & cage with vinegar & water in prep for their arrival.

You will always be learning more about gliders, so yes, I think you'll be fine. Welcome to the club! LOL

Oh yes, I've already begun making stuff and buying toys. I bought 4 yards of fleece yesterday...LOL! And rings, clips, plastic chain...hobby lobby was lots of fun yesterday

When you have them, you wont even think about anything else except them!

I really think its great you are learning as much as you can before you get them and offering them a knowledgeable home! You are going to be a great suggie slave.

You could start decorating their cage, I love decorate the cage with fun toddler toys/pouches/wheel/toys/toys/toys! Also you should get foraging cups if you already have not, they are awesome to put some treats in. You can also get a bonding pouch or make one.

Oh you sound normal to me, lol, at least my kind of normal.

You are lucky you know what all you need before you get your gliders, I had to rush into getting prepared, because I didn't know what my girls were coming with besides cage & wheel. It turns out they needed lots of things, and then I didn't even find this place first, so I had trial & error setting up a proper, safe, fun suggie home.

You're off to a great start and your gliders will be lucky to have you!

When you get your fleece, don't forget to wash it first, then you can place it in your dirty clothes hamper or roll it up into your used bed sheets for a few nights, this will help put your scent on the bulk of things.
