Answer
Jadea,

Don't worry, your Romeo and Juliet will be fine.  They are terrified, and must to learn to trust you.  You need to be patient.  Don't handle them until they are ready.   Bonding with them will take time.  Please go to my website and read about the bonding process. If you follow the steps closely, Romeo and Juliet will be happy, healthy Sugar Gliders before you know it.  nc.sugar.gliders.googlepages.com
