Am hoping for some information. Today I received another Yellow-Bellied Glider (300gm's) found on a barbed wire fence.
The man who found it early Sunday morning removed it from the fence and placed it on the ground thinking it would wander away. On returning home that afternoon he noticed it had remained where he had placed it early in the morning. He kept it overnight in a box then transported it to the Port Maquarie Koala Hospital who contacted FAWNA to collect it.
The Glider has the usual injuries and infection found from barbed wire fence injuries but the interesting fact is the animals top incisors are black.
Every other tooth in the mouth is normal and healthy and white apart from the top incisors.
I have cared for a number of these Gliders and dont remember ever having seen black incisors.
It isnt decay.
Has anyone come across a Glider of any kind with top incisors which are black in particular a Yellow Bellied Glider???
