Test Month is here xD will be quiet for few weeks xD but there's some improvement between me and my suggie ! it doesnt crab anymore and now i am able to hold it and touch it and go everywhere with it xD just need time for it to get use to the atmosphere cause its still kinda scare when someone made some loud noises while it pooped and peeped on me xD

what is a HET sugar glider? does HET mean heterozygous? Does that mean two HETs can produce a luecistic?

Yes it means Heterozygous. The genes in 1 animal. It doesn't mean you put 2 Het's you get a lieu. You will have to take note of the parents who's genes is more dominant. That is why people in the overseas classify their gliders as 50% Lieu Het or maybe 66% Het.. or something like that. Which means, this glider is carrying about 50% or 66% of that color's genes when reproducing. You can also put like a 100% lieu het and pair it with a standard gray glider.. it will produce 50% het in their next generation.. So it could be a 50 - 50 chance that the joeys will either be lieu or be standards I hope im explaining this correctly XD i learnt this a few months ago~ just some of my research ^^

to all sifu, i adopt a female sugar glider yesterday evening ... and could someone please answer my few question.

is it normal if she hops and panjat around the cage as soon i put her in there?

and she kind of like dark and narrow place (corner of the cage), dun like her new pouch at all

then im curious when i try to feed her, she kind of eat it out from my hand (have to pegang the food to her, if not dia tak mau makan)

and she did give me a shock when she kind of prison break from her cage and run around my room , luckily i've glider proof my room... if not hais... (fix the gap in the gave aleady). the normal curbbing and bitting applied as well...

could anyone with experience, please help me..

I found this wf my glider... wat is it a?? its quite long....







i wonder wat is this???? plz answer,,

mcm pee je i tgk??
ur glider,is it male??
coz if it is male,i think,it's the penis..
i think,mayb senior can give explanation coz i heard that many people have misunderstand that it's a worm..
but actually,it is not..
i take this from the 1st page...

Q. What is that pink worm thing coming out of my sugar gliders anus??
A. This is a males penis. The penis is pinkish in color, and is considered to be bifurcated. This means it is divided in two, but it is actually 2 separate shafts. New owners often mistake the penis for worms, or intestines. The penis is quite long, but is most often retracted . You may at times see your male with it out, cleaning it, and even showing it off.

ermm, just a bit worry... so i need to give her time to adapt kan? i'll just check her now and then lar...

@tednet - leave your glider alone for 2 days yea.. let it get use to the new surroundings. Just put food for your glider for 2 days.. less handling. After that try the bonding process

@elite - yes that his bifurcated penis. Its very2 long lol.. its could stretch to like the size of your palm.

@Furiouz - kurma or dates can give to gliders no problem.. just make sure it isnt treated with any sugar or what.. so just the kurma itself - not processed. I give this to my gliders too.. But not too frequent.

thanks... was wondering wats tat... haha.. wanted to tk himt o vet redi.. ingatkan gt sumting cum out from his body... hahaha.. thanks ...

SSC, thank for the info.... taking half day today, so worried cant work properly, need to see her heheheh

hi all...

i noticed yterday that one of my SGs was sort of bitting the sleeping pouch.. is this normal? also they used to be ok when i try to hold them but after the panic session (brought them out to play and me got bitten on finger, they got frighten) now they are like afraid of me.

when i try to pat their heads with my finger they will sort of trying to get away from my finger.... one good thing is they still remain silent, no crabbing at all.

am actually quite sad and demotivate when they all of a sudden like keeping a distance from me i thought we were doing fine with the bonding process....

My glider recently started barking every night at the wee hours of the morning... is it troubled? How can I help it?

glider will bark when they want... my glider bark until i lazy too get up n go to them.... my glider will bark 2-3 time a night... if i tido mati sure x layan them punya...

he wants a companion

the part bout the penis is very very long is agreable but the next part is not true unless u have a very tiny palm.the whole length of the penis is only 2 inches.the pink part is like 1 inch plus.dun scare ppl by saying it's as long as the palm.lol!

Barking Stands for they need companionship xD thats what i read from the website haha! mine do bark around 3 am!

got picture? never see before leh.

Mine when turn off the light they become very active when light is on they scare and dont move.
It is normal?

waa long time
no post here...hi everybody...
my b dalam masa terdekat aku up gambar

that a normal for SG coz there are noturnal animal..
they will active at night....

Yes, climbing around and jumping in a new cage is normal.

If your glider has never been inside a pouch before at its previous home, then it would not know what a pouch is and would look for any dark place to hide because it is instinct for sugar gliders to hide during the day. When a glider is not accustom and used to waking up during the day time, it will act paniky in a new place and would try all means to find a place to hide. Because in the wild, day time is where predators would attack them, so they would hide to avoid predators and danger.

Coz your glider is afraid, normally a sugar glider would not eat its 1st meal at its new home. And they try to eat at night when we are not staring at them. This is for new gliders lah coz once they are used not used to new environment, their mind only tells them 1 thing, hide. Let her get used to her new home first lah.

Escaping is normal coz again, she is new, she is going into a panic stage now. Let her calm down, leave her in her new cage for 2 days untouched by you. Just observe her. Once she calms down, then move on to your bonding process.

That's a glider's penis. Some people think its a worm or some kinda deformity hahaha... but that is just the tip. I have seen my males fully exposed, 2 penises and they are 2 inch long, waving like tentacles when trying to mate.

Biting the sleeping pouch is normal.... from the inside, it's chewing. I'm not sure what causes this action coz all my gliders do it and my sleeping pouches never last. I constantly buy new ones every few months and make my own.

Panic session.... did you scream and jerk your finger away? If you did, that scared your glider.

You see, joeys are fragile. They may be small, but their tiny brains can remember things. So if you did that when they nip you, they panic, and your reaction made them remember. So to avoid getting themselves shocked again, they are just trying to keep away from you. But don't worry, they will calm down with time and if you keep doing the bonding like how you did during day 1, you will earn back their trust. They are like little kids, they learn to trust people. If something scares them, the trust is broken so you need to regain back their trust. Don't give up.

She is barking coz she wants to know where are you. It is normal. Gliders communicate through barking. It doesn't mean lonely, she just wants to communicate. My gliders bark at night all the time and they are not lonely. Did she make the joey cry? How is she doing so far?

That is very obvious. Nocturnal. Night animals of course would be active when lights are off. They would stone if they feel unsafe or hide away.

That's the one that's good for our eyes right? i wanna know if its good for gliders too.. (:


Crislyn also doesn't finish her food if its left in her bowl. She eats more when i feed her by hand. But i wanna teach her to eat by herself too.. sometimes i still feed her by hand though
