Anyway, you can see kinda a lot petshops are selling BUGSY products already. And i think this is a good thing because BUGSY is a reputable and good brand. Unlike last time, market flooded with fake and imitate products... Talk bout price, it's really up to the shop to mark up their price because people are running their business. If you wan to get it cheap, then come down to KL to save the few dollars. QUOTE(asyraf87 @ Feb 17 2010, 10:14 PM) i dont know the the sound is crabbing or bark.. but she will make sound when i try to feed her.. I guess it's crabbing, because she feels insecure with u yet.

New Member Junior Member 23 posts Joined: May 2005 From: Pee Jay	Here is a site that I found that has some recorded sounds of a sugar glider can make. There are certain sounds that I have never hear before from my own glider, but would be interesting to observe how are they feeling when they make the certain sounds. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Excerpts below credit to http://www.angelfire.com/nb/sugarglider/sounds/, for recorded sounds, just visit the site. BARK - this is an interesting sound, it sounds much like a puppy yipping.. The meaning of this is still unknown, you must pay attention closely as to what is going on around your glider at the time, also listen for any other noises, even faint ones in the distant. Some ideas as to what this means are.. # 1. Some say this is to call out for other ones of their "Tribe", or their "person" # 2. For attention from their "person". I know a woman whose glider will bark at her in the middle of the night, crawl into his pouch when she looks at him and continues to bark until she literally rocks him to sleep. When she stops, he will continue to bark again, so she will rock him till his sleep is deeper. This is one spoiled glider.. # 3. Some say it is a warning sound. When the Alpha Glider fears of something that may be a threat, it may bark. I know of an owner who says every time her dog goes near the cage her glider will bark till she goes in and gets the dog out of the room. # 4. Story telling. By far this is my favorite. We have sometimes 4 gliders in the cage at a time, mom, dad and offspring. while all are out playing Dad will bark, the others stop, frozen right where they are, and listen all so intently, until he is done. We call that the story time.. # 5. In reply to sounds out in the distant. We have beagles that stay outside. One night one of our beagles was barking, and our glider barked back, this was too cute for the first hour, but then it continued, back and forth. I would get one shut down, then the other would start again, back and forth this went on for an hour and a half. I finally had to turn on the radio to get some sleep. PURR- This sounds very much like a tiny kittens purr. It is very faint and methodical. It is a sound of contentment, just as a kittens would be. This sound is also one that few people get a chance to hear. With it being so faint, unless the glider is very close to you, for example in your pocket or on your chest, the chances of being able to hear it, is based upon the trust that your glider and yourself has built between you. This sound, had to have the volume increased, the mic was placed directly on her and volume increased by 150% CRAB- This is their only defense, short of biting. This is an interesting sound, it sounds much like a locust at night.. graduating in pitch then decreasing. It is very loud and makes them sound like they are much bigger than they really are. When you hear this sound, freeze, don't pull back and don't move forward. The reasoning is simple. You want them to trust you, if they are making this sound, the trust is not there yet. If interpreted, this means "Leave me alone, I am scared to death" HISSING - This is yet another sound depending on where they are and what they are doing. So I will try to explain the best I can.. * It sounds much like a snake that is hissing that is in labor.. very short and deliberate hisses.. This can be a sound of constipation, watch them while they make this sound, there are very distinct differences between this and other hissing sounds. If the tail is straight up in the air and they seem to be hunched over, chances are they are having a hard time going to the bathroom and this problem needs to be corrected. * . This sounds very much like the one above but in slightly longer intervals, and has some slight differences in the pitches. this could be a sound of annoyance, basically they don't like something, * This one has very long stretches.. I have heard this when one wants the other near to them.. they are long and drawn out.. You can actually hear the hissing going both on the inhale as well as the normal exhale.. Interpreted, this means "come here RIGHT NOW" CHATTERING - This sounds much like a squirrel clicking , very short, very quick taps.. we usually hear this each morning when our male hears up come near the cage, we interpret it as " Good Morning" or "Hello, glad to see you.". CHIRP - This actually sounds like a gurbuling sound, most often, (but not limited to) heard while eating their fav foods.. this clip was turned up in volume, many times so as to get a good idea what the sound is. Definitely a content sound. CRYING - This is a sound most generally heard by joeys, or gliders that have just went into a new home and is crying for their mom and/or family. SINGING - Glider moms sing to their babies while they are still in the pouch, this is a very sweet and rhythmic sound, and you can definitely tell she is singing to them.. It sounds very much like a churble and changes in pitches and sounds. Much like our music, no two songs are the same. Each time I hear it, I know, and it is by far one of the sweetest sounds I have ever heard. FIGHTING/MATING - Now, how to tell the difference, is to learn your gliders. * Mating - Obviously, if you have a male and female together, that is of breeding age, they will do this. It is part of their mating ritual, and will be continuous for a long time. I know it drives me nuts, It is very common for people to believe that the males and females are fighting during this time. But it is all part of it. From the time you hear this sound, you can just about count your sixteen days, and have joeys in the pouch. * Fighting - very common sound, BetsyCC calls this the "get your foot outta my face " sound. It is a sound of annoyance between 2 gliders. this sound if fussing or fighting, will not generally last for a continually long period of time. If you have just introduced a couple of gliders, and haven't made sure they get along, be sure you watch them closely, this sound could mean the death of one. It is also a sign of dominance. While two gliders are establishing their dominance.

Thanks for ur reply Those bottles drip like crazy coz it lacks of a spring in it. Get a double ball metal tip bottle or one with a spring in it. The best bottle is Critter Canteen. Another one I have has double metal balls in the tip, no dripping too. I'll get the name of the brand for you. QUOTE(echah83 @ Feb 20 2010, 03:30 PM) Hye..

Not to say companion as in opposite sex. What she has seen is that many SINGLE male gliders tend to self mutilate their penis. SINGLE females will also self mutilate but more on their tails. It is not linked to sexual desire. It is depression from being ALONE. So if you have a single glider and neglect him or her, no play time and bonding time, then there is a 50% chance he or she will self mutilate, be it the penis or leg or tail. Favourite parts are of course the penis and tail.

And another question... how to actually speed up the bonding process with me n de sg in de good way. tq... Your glider is tame, just it has not trusted you yet. Carry in a bonding pouch. And while in the pouch, rub him and touch the pouch often. Your glider needs more handling. If you do not make him understand your touch and keep using the pen instead of your hands, it won't bond properly with you. Why it crabs and sounds defensive? Is because it is annoyed, scared and uncomfortable with the way you taking it out. Do not put your hand inside the pouches when you want to take it out. This causes them to be protective and feel like a predator attacking it. So always gently ease your glider out of a pouch by pushing it out, like how you push out tooth paste a bit.
