My FEMALE is pregnant

Question
I have just noticed that my female is pregnant. I know that I need to give her extra protien and make sure that she constantly has food available. However what I was wondering is.. I do not know how long she has been pregnant. I seen the Tail of the baby from her pouch today! I was wondering how long the baby would be in the pouch approximately and then what to do from that point. I can not find the information in any books that are available locally or on the internet. Please HELP! I do not have a vet that knows about sugar gliders within 4 hrs distance.. I do not want to do anything to hurt the mommy or the baby but I need to know what to do... Thanks

Dear April:

The mom and dad should do everything.  Your job is to make sure she is on an approved diet with extra protein and keep her stress free.  It won't be too long if you have seen the tail -- a few days to a week, but  once you start seeing tails and feet, it should be soon.  

You should be prepared, however, if this is her first litter especially, for rejection.  Here is a link on what to do if the joey(s) are rejected by the parents:
