farid, even if ur glider looks healthy now, she is still underaged glider b4. The impact still carried within her.

If she is detached too early from mother when young, until she is old she is still underaged glider b4..

I really encourage u to get another female if u planning to find one companion for panda.

Hehe..i ordered the 3set one...but still on the way..hven get it yet~

Rmb call b4 u go ah..sometime Dr Jenny is away or bz with operation.

Er...wondering why get two at once?

Even if plan to breed, better buy separately too. If not the female might pregnatn at young age. Unless the female is few months elder than the male.

Hahaha...whether we know you or not, as part of the member here we still nid to remind one another...

I hv met someone i tot she is real pets lover, but end up she is doing things behind that terrifying people..

U keep inside the room? Or outside? could it be very hot? what bout daytime?

haha..shop is tiny but products are kinda complete..

some standard grey will still hav chin strap..but not that obvious and not that long..

glider's coat and marking color will fade/changes when they grow older...

Neutering is just to stop the glider from producing sperm in order to avoid pregnancy.

Is not cutting of the penis.. so they can still mate..

jolene, 1 1/2 cup honey for 4months ler.... And, use a better brand honey.. Those cheaper one contains lot sugar actually...

make sure it's not raw honey.. Manuka also got raw honey one..

If u start using that brand, u hav to use the same one too.. if not u hav to reintroduce again..

And i believe is not cheap for the organic manuka honey..

a lot supermarket also got sell la..... u jus go survey the price lo..

Body odour affected by few criteria.diet and daily maintainence affect lot..if u wipe n clean them regularly, d smell sure reduce a lot..

In addition, bugsy hpw tat u feeding helps in odour controlling too...

Btw, nice joey U hv ther...

It could be other species, under same family with sugar glider.

Wah..u all reply so so so fast eh.. SCC and shazman..hahah..

Btw elite87, what SCC and shazman told u is correct. Don't jus take in glider jus because u wan them to be ur pet.. There are lot of things u nid to put in consideration.

Money and financial is one of the important elements. First time cost can be kinda high although u jus get the most basic stuff.

I hav seen u asking around for glider in pets store section. Pls make sure u know how to differentiate or choose healthy fully weaned glider. Do not support underaged glider.

Is normal for glider to be picky in eating..

U can try blend the fruits and vege..

or provide more stimulation for ur glider in eating...

Everyday cut the fruit and vege in cubes then place in bowl actually is kinda bored for them...

I use kritter kabob... put all the vege up, sprinkle acacia gum on the vege..then hang on the cage..

Second day, everything gone..no matter what i put..

I will remove~~

every 3days..

Congratz SCC~~

Cant wait to see them~

For HPW user, there are HPW specially for lactating mothers selling in petshack. Pregnant mothers need additional protein in order to cope up with nursing period.

Joey will stick to the mother nipple and feed on mother's milk until it detach from the mother and start living independant. It's their nature. When they detach, mother will start teaching them to eat solid food, then you can start give them a try on hpw.

Unless the mother rejected the joey, then you would nid to handraise the joey by feeding wombaroo milk replacer <0.8 and prepare those tools such as warm pads and etc.

Fully weaned OOP 2months joey and adult glider eats the same thing. Because the joey can already consume solid food. There might be some differences on the portion they eat because joey's stomach is not as big as adult glider.

Lori has posted Suz's website on pregnant glider. I jus added those above as Suz does not use HPW.

Anyway, u r asking these questions because u r planning to breed? or u already breed? or u are jus asking out of curiousity?

Never keep them in the tent permanantly. They can chew the netting then escape from the tent.

As lori said, everyone has the capability to keep pets. But motivation is the things that keep u started..Habit is the force that keep you going... The hardest part in glider keeping is to sustain the interest and passion.

Nothing can prove by yelling 'I wan to be good owner' unless u really take good care of a glider until the end of his/her day after 13-15years time. But we are able to observe and predict by looking at the behavior.

As SCC said jus now, looked at Lori and Yueyi, they take initiative to learn and pick up as much as they can, but not expect spoon feeding from others.

If someone cant even read up and learn on the net, but only seeking spoon feeding from others, i hardly can evaluate him as a good owner at this starting point.

You can let ur glider free roam, but with supervision. Don let your glider play freely without watching it. Accident may happen.

If the glider bonded with you, they usually will run on ur body or squeeze underneath ur shirt and sleep..
