We decided to try our luck with tent time again last night. It's been a while since we've tried, considering the gliders don't enjoy themselves at ALL! But... that didn't stop us from trying.
We got Kira, Logan and the boys out first. As soon as we got in the tent and forced them out of the pouch, they all scattered to LaVaughn's back and stayed there. We sat the joeys on some of the toys in the cage just to encourage them a little. After about 10 minutes, the joeys started to loosen up a bit and ran around. All the while their parent were still perched on LaVaughn's back. After another 10 minutes went by, I pulled Kira and Logan off of LaVaughn and tried to get them to play. Logan immediately ran back to LaVaughn. Kira sat on the floor next to me for a few minutes, then I picked her up and held her in my hands the rest of the time. After another 20 minutes and them doing nothing, we decided to get Sadie and Pip.
Well, they were no better. Sadie had been spazing out from the get go. She barked the entire time we had Kira and Logan in the tent and that's exactly what she continued to do. She and Pip kind of ran around for a few minutes, barking and spazing. That's when I scooped Sadie up and just decided to hold her. LaVaughn did the same with Pip. So we basically just sat and held them in the tent. We didn't stay as long, considering we knew there was no hope for them. Ugh, punks!
Well, I suppose that's all for now. Until the next successful tent time, you know where to find me...
Love & Peace

Movie of the day: Year One
Here are the sugar glider tent time pictures:
Jacks, Barrel of Monkeys and treats! What more could a glider want?
I don't know what this is really, it's some type of layer. I think I'm going to call it Mordor. My lovely, lovely aunt actually picked this up for us. Love you auntie and thanks again! <3
One of their 3-tier mesh toys things.
Deagol outside the walls of Mordor, lol.
"Hold me please!"
Deagol on top of Mordor.
Smeagol getting ready to cross the bridge at Mordor, lol.
I think he may go under the bridge.
Apparently he's going to climb the walls of Mordor instead.
Ah, but look at what he's climbing to! No wonder...
And who better to climb with... and Irish monkey!

"Get me out of here!"

Logan on LaVaughn's back.
Deagol found hi mommy.
Omg, too adorable! But seriously, what's not cute about a sugar glider joey riding on his mom's back?
Kira, froze in one stop on the tent floor.
Oh but isn't she cute!
And now Deagol found his dad, lol.
"So what, he's MY day!"
The spazzy couple before they were forced out of their pouch.

Faded WFB sugar glider face.
See... spaz!
Sadie all curled up in my hand.
Isn't she precious?
Pip all curled up in LaVaughn's hand.
Such a cutie.

There are some days when Milla doesn't like to eat her food right away. We usually feed a couple hours before we go to bed so that she can digest and go to the bathroom and not have to wait all night. Well here recently, LaVaughn feels that she must hand feed this 90+ pound dog with a spoon. Yes, a spoon! What is the world coming too?
Despite how lazy Milla is being, she still looks extremely cute while doing so.
Here are the pics:
