Answer
Brittany,

Don't worry, your Bella will be fine.  She is terrified, and she must to learn to trust you.  You need to be patient.  Don't handle her until she is ready.   Bonding with her will take time.  Please go to my website and read about the bonding process. If you follow the steps closely, Bella will be a happy, healthy Sugar Glider before you know it.  nc.sugar.gliders.googlepages.com

Good luck, please keep in touch.
