Well, the fact is.. I rescued my Baby Girl from a famous pet store in PJ just like the one you described about 2 years back and she turned out to be a fine young lady, no? I believe a lot of us bought from pet shops like that because let's face it, most of the pet shops ARE like that. The only one Pet Shop that treats Suggies the right way, so far I only encountered one - Pet Shack, which is in West M'sia. Unless you have a better suggestion of where to adopt a sugar glider in KCH? That's why I'm asking you where you adopted yours from.

How do you fly him back? How's the procedure like? I don't think MAS/AA would let you carry him in your bonding pouch.
Another question, does KCH have vets for sugar gliders? As I know, it's not easy to find a vet that knows how to treat a sugar glider.
Sorry if I asked too much Thanks in advance for being helpful.

Alright. Thanks! I'll let my friend know about it and see what she has in mind.
It's kinda hard if there's no vet for suggies there.
I took my sugs to Hand 'n' Paws countless times and I dunno what am I to do without them.

I saw a container of Wolfberry / Goji / Gei ji (Cantonese) / 枸杞 in my room (I take them like I take candies) and wondered if they're good for our sugar gliders like they're good for us.





This is what I found after I googled it.

Dried Goji Berries & Goji Juice for your Exotic Pets?

June 19, 2008 by Kimberly

Now, I know you must have heard about all the fuss about all the amazing benefits of Goji Juice and Goji berries are for you and that it is considered a “Super Fruit”!

What people don’t often realize is that what’s good for the goose, is good for the gander. Usually, if there is something that is really good and healthy for you, it probably is for your pets too…Of course, contact your vet first before giving your pet anything that is not “normal”.

Do some research first. If you have an Asian exotic animal as a pet, chances are likely that Goji berries are in their indigenous diet.

Goji berries are more scientifically known as Wolfberries or Western Snowberries. (It’s a long story that I won’t cover here as to why they are referred to as Goji now…LOL…Check it out on Wikipedia.)

Wolfberry PlantBeing that Dried Goji Berries are full of nutrients, powerful antioxidants, and 4 Polysaccharides (complex carbohydrates), they are very healthy, even for dogs, cats and birds that you may have as pets, as I have discovered through some research I’ve been doing.

People have some amazing stories of their pets being very sick and recovering with the treatment of Goji, or of pet owners that feed these berries or a juice to their pets like vitamins for prevention of illness by improving their immune systems.

Not only are these berries good by themselves, dried or made into a juice, apparently, they are also very versatile for cooking in that the dried goji berries can be used as a health alternative ingredient in many popular recipes.

How neat…I’m going to have to get me some. I bet my hedgehog would like them, and I know my dogs would. I would even try baking them into the “Everything But The Kitchen Sink Homemade Doggy Biscuits” I regularly make for them. A great addition, I bet!

I hope you enjoyed this new and inventive snack, or vitamin supplement idea for your Domestic and Exotic Pet Nutrition (and yourself…LOL) on Exotic Animal Lover! Until next time…

Live Exotically,
