V15 and i have a new addition to the family. WOOHOO
pictures later when i manage to get them

ive had it worse 2 years back.
my maid complained that there were a rat in her room and wants some poison. my old man bought some for her that weekend. then she went and put the poison on pork meat next to the fridge on the floor in the kitchen... next thing i knew, my mum called me when i was in college that the dog had poisoning. after all of us rush back,me being the first one home (1.5hr away), and followed by mum half hr after that. took the dog to the vet... in the end it was too late.. the shihtzu died twice...

after knowing the full story, apparently the maid saw the dog licking every bits of the poison, she waited and ask my sis to wait.. and when the dog vomit, my maid took the dog for coconut water.... and only call my mum on the fourth hour when the dog wouldnt move....

my maid ran away after that..
ironically, my dog's name is Lucky...




anyway, new pic of my JJ's baby, Baby.
[attachmentid=1442787][attachmentid=1442788][attachmentid=1442790][attachmentid=1442792]

died 1st time for bout 1minute, but the vet manage to pull it back to the world.
2nd time was the end...

cage is a 3ft one i assure u. however its round.. not square like all ur cages.. planning to diy one 5ft cage soon. wait till Baby become bigger... and older..
that apple was since morning. picture came 1st. morning food will be in 1 pcs as i dont like stale apple. if cut to small pcs, very fast i have to change. dont worry, their dinner is slurp.

i replace with newspaper as i could not cut the female's nails when it was carrying the joey. hence, pouch was removes. all cloth materials are removed as well.. my female's nail always get caught..
its safer this way...


btw, my gliders are more than 1yrs old... so rest assured that i am capable to keep gliders.. im just happy that i have a new addition.


@eric138
dont reali come in this thread cz i have not much to share and all info are quite complete. hahaha
so relatively im new to this thread. thanks for the support tho.

@echah83
bite is quite normal. even mine will jump on my hand. cz they think i am handing out food...
however, not pain at all tho.. and if i dont have food, usually they will lick and continue climbing onto me.
just keep in mind that they are more active than hamsters.
if you dont like when they bite, blow them on the face when they bite. usually they will stun awhile. not too hard tho.

then its not normal. maybe take some time to bond. try hand feeding more often.

mine was intro in just under 3 day... thought it took me long enough. mana tau, need more time one...

very soon baby will come along. hahaha

i also have the same problem since i moved them down to the kitchen...


you should realy reconsider as SG are not easy pets like hamsters. and i agree with other owners as they require alot of TLC as well as $$.
if under budget constrains and want to keep exotics, try gerbils or hedgehog as they take more dry staples. make sure u have the space also. u did mention that u dont have a freezer, so i assumed that ur staying out. hence may not have the required space. 3ft cage is not enough for them. as they are very active animals. so space is equally important.



in addition, diet wise, im not as strict as many gliders keepers here. a suggestion is that u can buy fruits on the way home for college and feed it to them. they do take fruits, so dont realy need those blended stuffs. i have a friend who did that. and feed hardboild egg with it.
as for me, i make random food for them. solid in the morning, slurp at night. i dont buy those HPW or other diet plans which cost a fortune. there are webpages where u can get the calcium/phosphorus ratio in fruits and vege. and PLEASE read the 1st page. alot of good reading materials for future keepers. even now i still read it as reference now and then.

@eric
how many gliders u have/had?
and can add me to the owner's list?
