The tent is not suppose for you to leave your glider there its meant to have a closed space to play and bond with your gliders.. You cant leave it unsupervised..

yeah2 i know.. wat i mean was... is there any other precaution hv to b taken b4 bring him in a??
hw u ussuly play wif glider in tent??

i take my king size comforter, put it on the floor of the tent.. then some pillows so i can relax LOL.. then put in some toys and bring in treats.. then bring in the gliders and let them run around.. I usually play with mine around 1am onwards.. the time where they are most active.

No, not expecting them to stay still ofcourse. I understand that theyre nocturnal and all that.
Yeah, mine will bark too. I was just figuring out if theres a way i can somehow lessen the noise.
Like put cloth over the entire cage or whatever. Im not going to do that, coz i know they cant breathe and whatnot, just giving an example of a suggestion.

all suggies lover, today i fell very demoralize cause my suggie is totally mad with me ... she was running around the room and i wanted to try the cupping method until she is quite, so i pick her up and she start bitting me (i tahan a bit lar), i cup her firmly and tightly and wait for the crabbing to stop, but she still crab until she is out of her breath (by that time my hand is bleeding already) afraid of suffocation i let her go back in the cage then i see her mengah2 and shivering(she run to her pouch). now when i call her name she crab back at me... hias.. i is sad

Where did you buy your glider? How old is it now? Dont be down coz it keeps on biting you. I had my fair share of being bitten.. again like i said before it takes time to bond.

i bought her from LYN member name "Exoreptiles Team" and his thread

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1115792&hl=

she is two month 3 months old, im not scared about the bitting but im afraid is she kept on bitting there is no way she gonna accept me as a friend or caretaker ... until now i only can touch her when she is a sleep just pat and usap2 only..

Seems like the seller dint handle it much.. thats why it became a bit wild. Maybe you can post pics of your glider. Btw i click the photo at that thread.. the glider doesn't look really healthy malnutritioned~

Is still too early to give up on bonding

It takes a while to get used to the noise. Barking, jumping, stuff going king kang. It's normal. You can lessen the noise a bit by using cable ties, tie up all the lose pieces that would make noise. You can put a piece of fleece as the covering for the floor of the cage, when your glider jumps on it, at least the fleece can absorb the impact and make less noise. Use a bit of creativity.

Gliders mate very fast when they are bonded with each other and also when the female is ready to mate. They can breed every 4 months sometimes or even earlier, depending on how fast the female is ready for mating. That's why you better neuter right after a joey OOP coz once a joey OOP, the gliders got possibility to mate again. Or best neuter before any joey OOP.

They bark is not cause hungry. Gliders bark to communicate. It wants to talk to you and see you.

That is normal. Coz gliders pee and poo while they climb trees. So while running in the wheel, they do it too.

You make the tent comfortable. Place the tent in an air cond room so you won't be too warm inside. Then you sit inside with things to do like reading or just sit inside the tend with your glider. Best would be you just sit inside with only your glider and nothing else first. Let him explore you. Do some touching and handfeeding if possible. As he grows accustom to you, then you can start doing your own things inside while he is inside the tent with you. But never leave him alone in a tent without supervision.

I used to bring to college. But now I'm working and no pets allowed coz I deal with food. It depends on your work place too, whether you are allowed or not. They don't make much noise once bonded and familiar, but new gliders may crab and make noises when they feel sudden movement or new noise. You should bring them in a bonding pouch. Then have a water bottle on hand and some treats just incase your glider would wanna munch on something. It is best to have a small carrier cage with you, say you can place it in your car so when you are going home, you can safely let your glider relax a bit in the cage if it is wide awake. Or get an explorium or flexarium. So much easier and less bulky.

You just bought her? Coz this seller, may be getting from supplier and suppliers never tame their joeys. They just snatch them away from their mom or parents and just sell straight. Also, timid joeys will be a bit difficult to handle, they take extra gentle but firm bonding. Do this. Carry your bonding pouch with her for about 8 hours a day. At the same time, you handle her when she is inside the pouch. Meaning, touch her from the outside. If she crab, let it be. The more you do, the more she will get used to it and the more she will accept your touching. Then, handfeed often. When you hand feed, use your other hand to touch your glider. Pat it, stroke it, talk to it. Then do tent bonding as well. It will teach her to accept your presence. Offer your hand every time. I also often teach people to do hand training. Meaning let the joey keep walking on your hands back and forth. Even if it climbs to your neck or shoulder, offer your hand and let it keep climbing on your hands till she is used to it.

how many times and how much do we need to feed the SG a day?

malnutritioned?? if what u say its true and me and the seller need to talk cause he said they all guarantee good health... i will post the photo tomorrow, didn't bring cable for my hp..

no im not giving up bonding... normally when she asleep i take the whole pouch and put it near me she crab a while and then go to sleep...

Added on October 7, 2009, 1:09 amim not sure about the supplier, but he said that the breeder say i need at least 2 week before she start accept people. then its depents on the glider chracteristic as well right? right now i just let her stay in her sleeping pouch maybe later i will put her in the bonding pouch. i cant bring him to work cause im not doing office type of work.. need to go sumwhere, panjat here and there so cannot bring her. touching her is what i do everyday so far a few nip and lots of crabbing she gave back... sumtime i stroke her till she fell asleep i got not tent but she is roaming my room.. i still cannot hold her and give her hand is impossible.. bout the hand feed, i usually do dat, even give her HPW by hand until she full i think cause she dont want already
