today I checked on my female SG, I found a fur at the area of her anus are so like dull n dry-wet and color so yellowish, is tat probability of an infection? the coloration just like she having a diarrhea poo. but on my observe her poo always dark n hve shape.

post some picture, what did u fed her previously?

1.


2.


sorry a pic a lttle bit blur, poor camera phone act, but u can notice the fur around the anus just like hardened a bit. compare with my other sg the fur still soft. And judge from the poo at pic number 2, the poo like too darken black, is tat normal? btw im used diet like always hpw, ulat roti, fruit and once a week i give them yogurt. btw tis is my female sg tat i discuss lately which act a lttle bit different from my others sg.

long time no see this animal

Btw, does anyone have any problems with their gliders eating their own poop..?

Mine does that a lot... In fact she's more than happy to grab a piece of shit and run off and chew on it than a yoghurt drop... Getting very annoyed at this cuz.. Well it's disgusting :/

may we know what kind/type of food (including diet either slurrp or HPW) u currently serve to the glider and how many times per day?

Looks ok to me..
the poo very black could be due to parasite in their body
can send them for deworming

i think we did discuss bout the feces eating glider a few page before.. go dig to some previous pages and u will surely find it..

if not mistake something to do with not enough nutrition or mineral..

do research more and if bring to a vet for check up.

If the glider eat its own feces, which normally people called cophrophagy, it normally means your glider is in stress condition..

huuhuhu... i thought its in this thread..

I've literally gone through every single page of V16, and don't recall ever seeing anything about it.

Yeah, I figured it's probably stress (research says some animals eat their own feces when stressed, some do it for nutrition, some are just weird like some dogs are), but wanted to make sure. Thing is she much prefers it over normal food. ugh... (HPW and fruits mainly. She doesn't ever touch the veggies)

I'll run by the doc's to see if she's alright anyway. Thanks.

Some animals especially herbivore will eat their own poops to gain back certain vitamin and minerals. However, for some animals such as glider, this is not a normal things to be happened.

Can try feed higher fibre fruits/vege so that helps in her digestion...

feel sad for my friend cause 2 of his joey been killed by her own female suggie.

the joey just only 3 days oop,my friends ask how come this problem may happen ya?cause i didn't had this experience.

You mean the mother killed her own joey?

I wonder guys if there a ppl in malaysia own a leucistic or white face blonde? just curious coz this breed is totally awesome..

does the fur feel like chalky..like stick together & when u touch it,its not smooth..

that should be pee/poo stain,wash your wheel & change the sleeping bag often..then wipe them at that area
