You can try just putting fruits at nite when she wakes up, if she is really hungry she will eat it. As for the HPW, in the morning you feed her. So 2 sessions of food. Try that method and see

Lol emino just put them all up.. at least each one can have their own XD

Shazman u spoil your babies rotten ~ did you get my pm? LOL... busy sangat nohhhh xD

As the prev posts states, they cant be toilet trained.. They are not guinea pigs or rabbits XD At the bottom of the 3ft cage is a tray, you can put paper based bedding like breeder celect. Or just use the normal newspaper and change it daily or 2 days once.

This is correct! mine also will pee and poo on me when they wake up. So usually i let them go on my hands.. but i still stick my hand inside the cage, wait them to finish and then flick the poo and wipe the pee, then they can sit on me XD lazy to mop the floor too many times

Take wet wipes and wipe see if it goes away. Else take a picture so we can see.

Hahaha in that case shud be ok.. but if u see her maybe got signs of illness straight to Dr jenny

All gliders that live in groups of 2 or more will have the tendency to turn a little brown. They will groom each other, mark and everything else together lol. Even tho they dont stay in a coconut, they will be a little brownish. But you can see a big difference in gliders who stay in a coconut. Just like my gliders, they were perfectly grey when they were still joeys. Grey is the standard color when they are still joeys.

This is the dimension of the cage itself - 18" x 14" x 36"(H)
hope it helps

I know of someone who bought a joey from me who came down from sabah to pick up her joey. Then she smuggle on to the plane when the suggie was on her summore she got sms me after safe "We all passed security safely" LOLOLOL~ But i wouldnt dare if i was in that shoes, cuz not everybody will have the same luck as her XD

Better off boarding here Kelvin is a very experienced glider owner who does boarding for pets.. maybe u can ask him?

Hi~ welcome.. your SG looks very small, tho the tail is a little fluffy i would still say it might be underaged. Cage seems like a small cage too, not suitable for your glider You can probably order HPW and get it shipped to indonesia

Barking means they are looking for companionship.. the person who gave you the glider gave you wrong information. Tho when a glider crabs, or raise their hands, they are unhappy about something. Clearly you have not bond well with your glider. So thats why you get that kind of scenario. Bonding doesnt happen overnight. It could take days, weeks and months even if the glider is wild at the first place.

During the night do no put in the bonding pouch, let them roam on you. If they are not bonded yet, tonite skip playing with them first.. Else later they run here and there, you wont be able to catch them back into the cage. Later lagi susah.

For tonight, you take the bonding pouch (no gliders inside ya )~ and put/wear it with you when you sleep. So they can get accustom to your smell.

Tomorrow when you are up to do your chores or going anywhere, put them inside the bonding pouch so they can smell your scent. Keep doing this until they crab lesser, and then during the nite you can try to bring them out to play with you without the bonding pouch.

It will be easier if you have a tent too. The one used for camping.. You can have tent time with your gliders without worrying they will escape or run elsewhere. This method can also be used during the bonding process.

Oh eric knows your name

I also forgot about the t-shirt method Like eric said, cover the cage with your USED t-shirt.. Your smelly welly shirt from the laundry basket also can

The key is scent and trust~ Once they are accustomed to your smell, and trust you.. nothing can go wrong

Good Luck!!

Mine all will wake up at 12am on the dot LOL.. sometimes 11pm if too hungry i think.. Then eat, play until 7am in the morning.. Sometimes got lah wake up until 9-10am. Then sleep all the way to 12am. Then repeat.. over and over again.

But not all gliders are the same all have different characteristics some will wake up earlier.. some later.. its up to you to find their sleeping patterns

I know about the ants scenario.. been there done that.. those ants are just soooo nasty. Get some vaseline, and rub at the 4 corners of your cage stand. As soon as they finish with their meal, take it out immediately.. this will stop the ants problem a bit.

During the day, if i do not bring my gliders to work with me, i will usually leave them some Bugsy Happy Glider fruity flovored and sugar glider diet. Both are from Bugsy.. There is also the protein chicken dry food, that i leave for my breeding pair Don't feed pineapple.. its very acidic.. same goes for oranges.. or any citrusy fruits. They like it sweet, so find sweet fruits

How is the bonding going?

Vaseline normal pharmacy will sell it looks liek this:

If no stand, at the edges of your cage (Outside ya not inside) >< you sapu this vaseline so the ants wont be able to climb in. Apple not good to feed often also good that she dont like it. Honeydew doesnt mean you have to feed all >_< u ma eat some lo. Some you give your gliders. I think some shops/pasar malam will sell half cut honeydews. You can feed papaya, pear, sweet plums got a lot of fruits here one lol.. just experiment what they like Once in a while can get the sweet potatoes also.. they go crazy over that

Go slowly on the bonding process, dont rush ya. Try to get some yogurt drops at petshack.. this cant go wrong.. will sure steal from your hands else get mealworms. If you can tahan to hold the worms go ahead and hand feed Low fat yogurt also can.. like those marigold brand.. dip your fingers and give But not too much yaaa.. all these are treats oni xD

Banana dont feed... maybe like one small slice let them just taste only can. Cuz its high in phosphorus. Did you buy the normal potato or SWEET potatoes? Normal potato i know they wont eat >_< sweet potatoes, the outside is red color

We need to feed fruits and veges higher in calcium than phosphorus simply because when there is too much phosphorus in the gliders body, the body cannot absorb calcium into the body. Once there isnt much calcium in the body, the glider becomes weaker and possibly can get diseases like HLP (Hind leg paralysis) just to name one. Thats why its important to check the cal and phos ratio in the diet you are feeding

Hurmm it does look like an infection or what they could call an inverted pouch, that is not the average look of a female's pouch. Once your parents are back straight go to Dr Jenny. This is the very first time i see this here. Is your cage dirty or something? Maybe do a thorough cleanup on the cage. If you have germisep, clean the cage right away with germisep. Else you can use dettol to clean (more water than dettol ya) and then rinse with more water after that.

Sending my prayers your way~ dont worry to much ok~

Edit~ wait can't to think of it.. i think someone else here has a female glider with inverted pouch. I think it was Lis..

Welcome to the thread come post some pics of your baby~

I wouldn't do that if i were you, some gliders who have not fully bonded with their owners, may just run off like nobody's business and will be hard to catch.. Get a tent or make a glider proof room to play with them at first.

You can try the bunga raya branch, but you have to wash it thoroughly before placing inside the cage.. scared got pesticide which is dangerous for a glider. Try to google for glider safe branches.. but i can assure you most cannot find here in malaysia Else you can just use the Exo-terra branches, got small to xl sizes. It mimics the look of branches and fully bendable.

Very cute~

Hahahaha~ cute picture!! Tho cant see her face in full. How hard exactly she bite? Got come out blood or not? If no blood comes out, then i would consider it nipping. My bella loves doing this... i know for sure she wants more treats from me when she starts nipping me. You can try to fist your hand and put your hand in and try to ask her to climb on you.. At least she gigit your fist, it wont hurt so much. Dont be discouraged

Anyways~ thought i would like to show some of my joey pictures.. Kaiser just opened his eyes last nite.. Kallisto still blur blur.. not yet open eye >_<

Perky little guy! NOT a single crab O_o but he was searching for his mama after 5-10 minutes xD


Knows how to pose for the camera XD


Kallisto seems to like sleeping in my daughters hands, but not mine Zzzzzzzz


Nice face features :3

It was easy to distinguish which is Kaiser and which is Kallisto dis time lol.. Kaiser got some sort of jambul on his head. His diamond shape is sort of chipped on the left side.. whilst Kallisto has the chip on the diamond on the right side They will be going to lovely homes end of next month

Hahaha thanks dear~ yea too cute at this age..

I differentiate with the diamond shape on the head usually. But usually if you see them everyday, day by day you can easily distinguish which is which

the red dot is sign of puncture mark? did you try the bonding pouch method? while venus is sleeping in her pouch, you squeeze the pouch into the bonding pouch so she goes in.. in case you not sure how to take her into the bonding pouch..

Yeap the stomach size is about thumb size only McD spoon is very little liao O_o are you a HPW user? Usually accompany HPW with 1 tablespoon of fruits and veges.
