my preganent sugar slider

Question
I have a pregnant sugar glider. And I have noticed that she wont eat outside of her bed and she has lost a little bit of weight because of it. what i need to know is if it is normal for this behavior to be going on?

Answer
Dear Amber:

It's not usual behavior.  A pregnant mother should not act differently than when she is not pregnant.  If the joeys had just come out of pouch, this might be normal behavior, but not before they come out of pouch.  She should not be losing weight, so a vet visit is recommended.
