A pair of baby squirrel gliders abandoned on opposite sides of Brisbane are being a second chance at life. 9News
The tiny marsupials, weighing in at just 18 and 41 grams, were abandoned in Underwood and Manly-West just days apart.
A pair of baby squirrel gliders abandoned in Brisbane are being nursed back to health by dedicated carers. The young male was found at the base of a tree, but the young female was found in a cat's mouth, Kerry Schilling of Kerry's Wildlife Rescue and Care told 9News. The furry duo are now inseparable, and have been dubbed Romeo and Juliet – though hopefully they have a happier ending waiting."They're very vulnerable. It's not only cars, it's mostly cats."She said without the work of the good Samaritans who rescued the tiny joeys and took them to the local vet, both babies would have died.
