Hello everyone...it's been so long since I have posted in this thread cause I'm busy with my work after finishing my diploma courses and will be more busy with my bachelor's degree later and my mom is really worried about the weight of all the suggies...all 14 of them...they are all over weight..I mean really serious...BUT.... all of them are active and playful.....and when they are in the wheels, their cages will uncontrollable shaking !!
What I really like about all the suggies are that their fur.... soft, thick and shining and their tail are fluffy..!!
Is my mom over feeding or pampering them or should she cut down their food....??!!.... She has tried cutting down their food intake.... BUT.... she said that looking at them clinging at the cage bars looking at her all the time (when they are awake) with their big black cute eyes and those cute little sounds they made even barking (maybe asking for more) every time she passed or walked by their cages....she just can't bare and felt really sorry for them not to mention the guilty feeling of her towards them, she really felt so....so sorry for them and at the end, she had to give them what they want.....extra amount of food as usual....!
Maybe you guys are wondering what my mom are feeding them...well..these are the lists, according to her...
2 bottles of filtered drinking water (3 bottles in each cages) mix with a few drops of -
i). LC-Vit* - 1 drinking bottle
ii). Drinking Water Conditioner* - 1 drinking bottle AND
iii). Fresh filtered water* - 1 drinking bottle ......................................................All* daily
3x ......1 to 3 tablespoon ( according to the sizes of the cages) per week of Happy Glider ( All The Favours) + SG Diet with Eucalyptus + RC 34 (once a week) + Yogurt Drops + Dried Mixed Fruit .................measured and mixed together in a bowl before feeding..balance kept in the fridge in an air tight container for the next feeding.
1/2 to 1 coop cups of various types of fresh diced fruits and veggies in each cages daily
HPW..... daily and sometimes mixed it with *blended boiled chicken meat or *fresh fruit juice and sometimes mix both together* and with 1/2 teaspoon of Solvitax(every 2 week once) and also Glider Booster (twice a week only)
2x......per week of mealworms/superworms/crickets lived or canned and sometimes a little bit of Small Carnivore Food mixed with a few drops of Coat-Shine
2x.....2 to 5 tablespoon (according to the sizes of the cages) per week of Gliderade
She's been giving the above to all the suggies for the past 1++ years.....with no complication of conditions or any other problems....except I think of their weight only.....!
P/S.... Good news, my mom said that one of the female is pregnant with twins..

(always twins, I wonder how to get triplets)...!

Overall seem good, but it would be better if you cut off the cat food. They DON'T need that. It's too high in fat and too hard for gliders.

I have a wobust wheel for them. the problem is, i don't understand the instruction and i would prefer to have visual instruction. Also, can the trimmer fit into wobust wheel? it's too small for the wheel i think.
Nope, it cant fit into wobust wheel.

Hi guys, recently a few hours ago my lil' brother finally bought himself a baby Sugar Glider, female type and the seller gave him a pouch for it too. I am kinda worried since this is his (or my whole family), first time to take care this sweet lil' creature.
I know that taking care a Sugar Glider is different than any other pets coz it needs the attention from the owner to interact with 'em constantly or they will be depressed (and die by it - from what I heard from other people?!?).
A couple mins ago my lil' brother has fed it with smashed green apple and a fresh water. Kinda cute to see it eating =3
One of my questions is to you guys;
o How many times do we need to feed it, what type of foods does it eats and the best food's portions (for the baby)?
o Can it sleep in a air-conditioned room and what's the best temperature from keeping it freezing to death?
o Is the barking tells us to feed it or play with it?
By the way, I'm a cat and a turtle owner.
Normally they only eat at night, so you can feed at night since they normally sleep during daytime.
Make sure the cold air doesnt blow directly towards the cage, if you worry it's too cold, then just cover the cage with fleece cloth, and put fleece blanket inside the sleeping pouch.
Barking is just a sound to call for companion.. Either calling for cagemate or the owner..
Btw, you shouldn't feed Green apple.. Get a proper diet for sugar glider such as HPW or BML then feed along with proper fruits and vegetables.
