32g cuteness – A baby sugar glider

We just got a baby sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps ariel)! They don’t came into care very often, this one came from Maningrida and had a broken leg plus an eye infection. One of our vet performed surgery yesterday and pinned the leg which was very challenging due to his size.

He will stay in the clinic for a day or two and then go into intensive care with one of our nurses who is a wildlife carer. A big thank you to the rescuer who took him on a plane trip, to Toni, who picked him up from the airport in the middle of the night and Hannah for transporting him to the clinic.
