[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 1822454, member: 372207"] Not sure, but I dont believe over 300 would be normal. Stole the next bit from wikipedia, no koala's involved, but with all the other animals having a range not vastly different from humans I think the same would go for Koala's. Also, I think I saw a chart of koala blood sugar on facebook this morning, but can't find it now.
