Wow I'm super late, but congratz on V16!!!! xD

haiz...wonder wad to do if our glider really get sick...
can call Dr Jenny gv Dr Yeoh a lecture about how to treat gliders and other exotic pets ka? LoL

Can i have that injection from Dr Yeoh?

Dr Yeoh is consider knowledgable in glider compared to many other vets... No matter how good a vet is, it's still possible where misdiagnosis happen.. especially in sugar glider..they are just too small and a lot complication in diagnosing them..

I think Dr Yeoh can treat mites, there are some forum members' glider treated by him before.

TQ guys..
really appreciate all the advice....

Erm..juz wanna know something..
is there any different between mealworm, superworm, waxworm, etc..?
i never give her any other insects unless mealworms...is it ok?

today finally im able to cut our momo nails... took me 15 minutes to do it... and he keeps on crabbing all the time... maybe he not used to it... is this normal?
hopefully his nails wont puncture my skins anymore...

why the body sugar glider 'terketar-ketar' aa? izit it sick? And sometimes it also seem like lifeless.. Please help.

its normal for glider after they are waken up from sleep.. is it continuously?



btw,they do eat insect but is it okay for them to be feed with alive cricket that are sold in fishing shop?

hmm can anyone explained to me why my glider are smaller the the baby glider u see i have 2 glider with me 1 my chopper and the other 1 is my friends i take care of her coz she is an underage joeys but its been a month since i take care of chichi and now chichi are biger then chopper...but chopper are a male glider that 3 month old n chicji are femail glider age are about 2 month++...
any one care to explained what going on here n are my chopper sick or any things.....

Ohh.. But yep.. It continuosly.. Even after 30minutes i play with SG it also terketar2..

my heart aches seeing the SG in the pix...

He jus not used to it..

Make sure u gut load the insects before feeding to ur glider..to make sure it's clean and full of nutrition.

Just like human, we have slim people and fat people.. Some gliders are born with bigger bone structure and some are smaller.. To determine a glider is sick or not, we shouldnt jus justify by looking at their size.. Routine behavioral, eating appetite, physical symptoms should be taken into account..

When glider immune system goes down, the first thing the body will give out is the skin and coat, because the body wan to reserve the immunity for other major organs and system.. therefore, loss of fur/dull coat/thinning hair are always the first symptom to show up when a glider is sick...

Added on July 30, 2010, 11:36 amThere are difference between all kind of insects.. Their phosphorus protein and fat content are all vary.

Not only that, the same mealworm in different life stages (pupae, worms, beetle, eggs) will have different nutritional analysis too..

Amount of insects feeding really depend on the diet that you are using. If you are HPW user, u do not need to feed insects because HPW has given sufficient protein to your glider. Instead, we use insects as treats.. jus one or two in a day...

can i believe Dr.Yoeh on neutering? coz i sending my male glider to neutering this month...

Yeap yeap, it's normal (: My babies were also not used to it at first. Now more calm and quiet d. (:

Some gliders tend to be smaller in size. Different bone structure and everything. One of my gliders are also smaller in size compared to others Hehe. Easy for me to differentiate between both my girls Hee!

If i don remember wrong, Emino's glider was neutered there. And, the operation turned out well.

Erm, so far i never heard any complaints or negative reviews about Dr Yeoh yet..Jus don't know why lately some people suddenly popped out and talked bad bout him.. Never really visited him b4 though, so i can jus give opinion from information i could get.

And, i asked Dr Jenny bout Dr Yeoh b4, she did mention he is a good one though...

Teddy was neutered by Dr. Yeoh nearly 3 years ago. He's still here, happy and healthy. In fact he is healthier after being neutered.
Be warned though. Dr. Yeoh's method is different than Dr. Jenny's. Dr. Yeoh removed the entire ball sack, while Dr. Jenny keeps it.

i wonder what sounds do u guys use to call ur suggies?

Dr Jenny can do in both way actually, either remove the whole balls str8 a way or jus cut the vas deferens...
