haloo all,
i preparing myself for a joey when my house is ready...

that day i went to pet shop nearby my house, got 3 joey there...they kept it on the small hand carry plastic tank with some newpaper bedding...
so i ask a little here n there bout the joey...they are feed them fruits and cat food as protein replacement...their price is kinda cheap lo RM250/ joey...1 pair for RM450...

After i read the 1st page of this thread, i change my mind to get joey from them edi....lol

Erm, Any home breeder from Penang?

issit k for me to disturb him sleepin at day time... or only can wk him up at nite.. like weekends... im free in afternnoon... I go ask him cum play.. he is so scared n keep finding pouch..

hi elite...
i saw ur previous post mention that u bought ur joey from penang? home breed ah? can share with me?

U try order one and post here. Then you will know how exp is the wheel with postage included.

Singapore banned most of the exotic animals, so i don think you can get senior/wobust there.

Absolutely agree.

Luckily you haven buy yet.

Read more and survey more to see any good breeder there or not...

You can wake them up at daytime. But not too frequent and the playtime don be too long lo. After a whole nite active, ur glider need to rest also.

actually my boy is jitshiong's glider.. one f his customer wana resell it.. d time she wana let go she was in her hometown redi. I would suggest u to get 4rm him.. bt read n tink abt glider.. when u call up him... he will ask u a lot f quest.. and he aso willing to help u a lot in taking care d glider... even yest I go meet him to gt my boy nails trimmed n learnt from him few new tings...

sorry if gt typo o grammar.. haahaha.. msg sent from my xperia

hello Minnie btm,Winnie top

Ofcourse it's ok! PM me when your shop opened or you already have those items, especially the Wheel.
Why not sell every sugie stuff with those discount like bonding, sleeping pouch, hammock etc. Make them available by post too as o everyone can go to Shah Alam.

**posted using xperia **

I missed Minnie and Winnie!! Jumpy Jumpy fellas.. and tembam tembam wan..

Glider needs time to accept new food, try to dip ur hand into the hpw and let ur glider lick.

You can mix the hpw with fruits, after he get used to it, then separate.

hahaha eric, my glider dun need to mix hpw with fruit.. when put it 1st already licin...

Hye guys, i'm planning to get myself a pair of SG...However there's one thing that might holding me back.....
What do u guys do if you have to leave your SG for long holiday/business trip for few days (maybe weeks) and nobody available to help u looking after them...

The thing is my jobs require me to travel once in a while for 1-2 weeks and sometimes can up to 3 weeks...
Can i just stuff all their foods in the mealbox which perhaps sufficient to feed them for few days

Appreciate any comment and response, i dont wanna make wrong decision by having them in the house and later not been able to fulfill their needs

your fruits in their mealbox will rot.

Hi, I don think you can leave wet fruits for so many days or weeks.

If it's only few days, i suggest you can get the premium glider diet. It is dry staple diet specially for sugar glider.

hi silverbolt try go trough the first page first and read on the suggies requirement then deside i.

its a 15 year comitment lol hope u make the right dicision k theya are cute but comes with extra requirement in handling and big responsibility

if u are off worked out station u can have others helps u or get boarding service lol

Yap, that's the thing...fresh fruits & veggies will rot even if i leave it for 1 days...not to mention it's gonna smell stink
I luv to hear there's dry food available for glider...any link/pic on how does it look like?
is it OK if it being feed continuously to SG for few days... is it costly?

Yap, already read that up before....just wanna know what do u guys do if u need to leave them alone at home.....i can provide the other necessity, however working outstation and long holiday is the only thing that worry me ....

Sorry lots of Q's...just to make sure i'm well prepared before having one of this SG...

you can go over petshack website and look for 'Premium Glider Diet'..

Er..i think the price is reasonable for me lo... As it's kinda convenient, and good in nutritional wise.

Yup, you can feed continuous for days.

silverbolt where are you from? maybe when you need to go outstation you can pass to any members here to take care of you with charge or pass to your relatives/friends nearby?

but you have to know that glider is a sociable pet. and if you keep leaving them every subsequent weeks, it's hard for your bonding process and they might become timid and defensive over time.

I stayed in kepong, sg buloh area....pass to relatives/friends later have to teach them what to feed and don't know whether they'll be comfortable or not ......pass to any thread member here would be the wise idea then ...thanks...

I see, thanks Eric ...Anyway i noticed u'r also in Hedgehog thread...To be frank, now i'm 50/50 whether to get SG as a pet....my other option is hedgehog, perhaps they are more suitable for a person like me who might off for business trip few days....currently i'm also have a ball phyton, no doubt this animal really suitable for me...

Hedgehog's maintenence are much lower than SG..

And they don feel lonely even you left him alone at home because they are solitairy.

However, if you going to leave them (SG/Hedgehog) for weeks, you hav to make sure there is fresh water available all the time. They will tend to drink alot when eating dry staple.
