Hi people..I just got my 1st sugie about a week ago and thought I learn something about these cute creatures from the more experienced guys and gals here...

mine did... i've read somewhere that sometimes it happen when male SG getting to the mature stage..
then i'm just too worried, i just take him to the vet.. no more hissing while pee or poo..

They should never wear any kind of collar permanently. It's not safe. You can put it on for a short while to take pics, but it should go off and never kept on.

They can for short period of time, but not recommended. They will also be running in their own pee and poo and resulting to staining and will smell. Do take note they can easily injure themselves.

It is not normal. The way you explained it sounds like It could be UTI (Urinary tract infection). Its a bacterial infection, Seek a vet immediately.

thanks for the reply.i thought hissing during pee only is indication of uti since he can pee normally without hissing so i thought other problem. i'll take him to vet 1st thing in the morning tomorrow. better safe than sorry.

after few months of neglecting my mealworm farm, i check the beetles out, and found lots of baby mealworms...
i'm so happy. i thought i failed.. to my lovely SG.. we did it.
ur treats will always be ready. hoho..

As long as there is food provided for them, mealworms are not difficult to breed.

guys, where is the recomended Vet in KL selangor ? i need to bring my sg for a check up~Thanks

just bought a sugar glider . making velvet pouches for them <3

from who?it is good with you?

at first a little bit fiesty , then she's okay.

bought from forumer named pet kingdom i think.

need time for her to bonding with you, me after CNY maybe will get 1 pair of SG.
today I already buy the 3 feet cage for them, also from pet kingdom.
their car is full of mouse! hehe..

ya! Alot blue box with mouse ahahahah xD..

Hi guys, would like to ask the experts here. I bought a sugar glider on New Years Eve w/ my boyfriend. She crabbed alot on the first day we brought her back home but now she's already okay and doesn't crab haha

She's kind of used to my hand already but does get a little jumpy when she feels it's "suddenly" there. She's awake right now and active but since yesterday, I put my hand in a fist (the back towards here) near her (I'm trying to get her to jump on it so I can play with her), she just reaches forward and licks and bites my knuckles. Is she hungry? O.o Cause she mostly bites, thinking there's food? lol

There is a difference with a hard bite and a nip. Nipping doesn't hurt as much as a hard bite. Still looks as if shes biting. If it is indeed a nip, then shes just grooming you. She's beginning to trust you, start to bond with you. Try rewarding her with treats~

maybe she associate ur hands with treats.. she might thout u offering her treats r ur hands got sweet smelling fragrant..
coz most of the time new ppl bond with treats so when ever u put ur hands out it might signal giving treats to them.. but take ur time try picking her up from her belly insted.. if she charges at ur hand and bite it, it might be becuase it's defensive

for jumpy most of the gliders are very alert and every sudden movement they will get startled.. unless u take them out often n mingle with other ppl then they might adapt to noises n new places easily

want to ask here what are the trusted brand of HPW?

Want to ask something..If I go on vacation overnite, would it be OK to leave my SG at home and if so, what should I provide for her in her cage??
If the trip is more than overnite thing, then what should I do? Put her up for boarding or bring her along. What are the supplies that I should have. I would probably have to sneak her up to the hotel room which usually has "No Pets Allowed" policy. Would SG's be OK with hotel rooms air conditioning??? I usually set at 22 deg Celsius....
Would appreciate some views or experiences here....

here is my case:
went for a trip to penang staying in hotel 3D2N.
I brought my suggie along in the bonding pouch.
I have a portable cage, Exo Terra Explorarium, which i brought along.
I set up the cage and put him in there, then I put that "Do Not Disturb" sign at the room door so nobody comes in
I had nobody to take care of my suggie so i have to bring him along no matter what and this method works XD

I've seen people using netting laundry basket with zippers in place of the explorarium... Is it possible for SG to bite thru the nylon netting and escape???

It's possible. I've should have taken a picture of my laundry basket that got destroyed by my glider, she bit off the laundry basket plastic. Since it's quite hard, it happens over a period of time. So if the nylon netting is soft & your glider likes to bite a lot, it's possible to escape over a few hours.

There are some people that offers boarding services for SGs. Either that or find some friends that you can trust your SG with for several days. I think it's safer that way.
