is she still with u? did her condition improve after u give supplements?

Long time never come in. Gonna have my exam later LOL....

Anyway, many people make the mistake of size and age. If see my blog, I have many pics of underage joeys and compared to my joeys, people think they are near adults. Like my incident with the pet shop in Sunway Pyramid, I took a 2 month old OOP joey to test them, they joke and said mine must be 5 months or more. Said I got cheated by seller.... then showed me a tiny underage joey.... then I replied to them, how can I be cheated when I bred it myself and counted the age? Then they keep quiet.... summore got a crowd, so malu.

Proper sized and age joeys grow better and live longer. I have met many people who bought joeys from suppliers, agents, pet shops.... and all underage, come find me for help.... sadly, many come find me too late and get in touch with Dr Jenny too late, they can die within a year if no nutritional help is given. The common mistake is also underfeeding them and giving them food that is not nutritious enough.

I was at the Pet Expo with my gliders and a 1 month old joey. Many thought my joey was 2 months, coz she already had a very fluffy tail even for a 1 month old. But the fact that she still climbs and wants to be carried by her mom, tells that she is not ready to leave her parents. Suppliers, mass breeders do not do that, they simply snatch the joey away once eyes open. My joey still dunno how to eat solid food yet so if separated from her mom, sure die or sure force herself to eat and then that would lead to undernourishment and sick glider.

said bout underage glider,my brother kena tipu also.. his gf wanna give glider as a gift,she straight buy at pet shop located at BB plaza.. which is that glider tail look like rat tail.. so kesian.. and my brother really worried bout that when i tell him that underage joey can simply died..

im also buy from pets wonderland(underage)... after i meet hun he said lowyat gonna help me a lot.. yes its work... n my glider so fat now.. hahaha^^ trust me.. ask the senior how to take care underage... they will help...

While testimonials like this is great, please note that people who read this might just go ahead and buy underage joeys. They wont worry because seniors here will always help them later.

I dont think we should cultivate this type of mindset. We should encourage people to get good, healthy joeys in the first place rather than 'buy now, seek help later'. So please, any seniors who read this: give a damn harsh lecture to them before helping. If its me, I'll just walk away unless I've seen regrets and efforts to nurture. It's not that we like to scold people. We just dont want people to go and buy underage joeys.

I would definitely help people who are interested in having gliders and wants to know more. Not impulse buyers.

That's why many people dunno.... some thought we breeders tipu orang... but the true fact, pet shops yang tipu orang.

They would give all sorts of reasons lah like saying easy to take care, eat kuaci, eat apple only, keep in hamster cage, no need feed water, keep in aquarium also ada.

wah, ini macam pun ada?

lolz... if got ppl already read this sure they know that what im doing before this is wrong... haiz... im saying behalf my exp... what wrong rr with u???

and 1 more think Hun.. his GF kena tipu that glider doesn't need a bigger cage.. so she buy a hamster cage.. yang small sgt2.. luckily i got extra cage.. i hope that glider survive..

What's wrong with me? So advising people is wrong now? Heck, I'm not even using a harsh tone.

lolz.... but by the way u said like what im posting is wrong... ok enough here...

Yah, got.... I pernah jumpa..... 1 petshop lagi advice buyer say glider only can eat grape and kuaci. I purposely open my mouth said the diet is not simple and can die if feed that, the potential buyer walked away, the pet shop owner give me a glare like wanna tendang me.

Yah, normal lah macam tu. Now your brother can only hope it survives. Must keep warm and make sure it eats.

haha.. tendang them balik la hun..

Emino is only advising..... to me he is one dedicated glider owner. Many times I feel like scolding people for buying underage, I get so many calls and sms about till I wish.... I wish to ignore but I got no heart to do it.... always these calls and sms are about their joeys dying or sick all coz underage and undernourished....

So that's why it is important to educate people.

ya.. i know emino is a great guy.. haha,i met him at pet world last wkend.. hahaha..

her condition is ok but only had her for 1yrs n my girl left me together wit my glider then few weeks later my smart glider ran away while she asleep n forgotten close d window~
was so sad till 1 day wafi posted aki for adoption n i adopted aki n she's doin fine even thou her size kinda small for a 2yrs old sg jus like 5months after oop~
so far recently i seldom play wit her n bring her to work so much like last time due to my work become a lil more busier n of cuz trying to give her a better life lo~

Hey emino, aren't u suppose to post some pictures during pets world gathering??

I did. On Facebook. Werent you tagged? My office cant access facebook, so post la if you want.

Kinda hard to get all together this time, since most people arrived on different times.

Maybe next time we should really determine at what time sharp, people must be there.

Sri Petaling's pet shop 'favourate diet' to the glider.

some petshop sell glider supplements but they sendiri feed cat food and kuaci...got sell pouch but their gliders is in coconut...like Ipoh's petshop also like that...


like i always said..what's better than learning from own mistake is learning from other ppl's mistake...thanks for sharing


if we have done our research we can actually know who's a responsible seller and who is not by questioning basic needs of that particular pet..some hamster cage i think is even too small for hamsters..haiz...
