You can't train them not to make noise. Noise essentially is a form of communication. It's like how I can't tell you not to complain if you're hungry or you're bored, just wait it out or something like that.

So that's why I said those kinda noise can be reduced (not 100% gone) if you look after your glider properly. If it's barking whole night long that means something is wrong & your glider is trying to communicate it with you. Normally barking means they're lonely & need someone to play/accompany them.

The 86cm is a 2ft cage, it's not really the ideal cage for gliders in the long term. I have both 2ft & 4ft, the 2ft one is more for the babysitter when I'm away on a holiday cause it's a bit of a hassle to move the 4ft cage around. Once they grow bigger, you'd want the 4ft cage so that they got enough room to jump around.

Well, gliders need a lot of rest. They don't exactly jump & run around whole night long. I did stayed up whole night before, mine got sleep few hours at night one.

So yea, when you do bring your glider out....try to avoid noisy places or do things that will disturb it sleeping a lot.

Just book an appointment with a vet ASAP before it's too late. Your glider's health is at stake, http://suggiesathome.com/category/health/

Congratz & let us know how it go with Dr Yeoh later. Sounds like you haven't bring your gliders there before.

You're from Klang?

My 2 cents la.....don't use HPW Complete, it's damn expensive & there'll be wastage as the power will hardens as it get exposed to air moist regularly. Use the normal HPW that requires you to buy honey, egg & then scramble them all together before keeping them in the freezer. If you don't have a freezer, then looks like you'll be using HPW complete then lol.

Anyway the most important part is ensure your glider still take papaya or bak choy as those are high in calcium. Don't just feed apples all the way although it's easy, convenient & less messy.

Lastly like emino said, they won't starve themselves to death. They will eat whatever you give (as long as it's edible la) when they're hungry, so don't worry. They're picky eaters, but you can change their taste. My glider used to ignore yogurt drops back when she's young. But I continue giving until now, the moment she hear me opening the yogurt drop pack only, straight away jump at me waiting for the yogurt drop de.

Ahh which part? Wanna keep in touch cause just few days ago I was searching high & low for people to look after my glider cause I'll be away for 1 week hehehe. Didn't expect to travel a lot recently.

HPW complete wasn't that expensive if I'm not mistaken. I got a spare normal HPW if you want, but you gotta buy the egg & honey la.


Sounded bonded la, it's a matter of how bonded now lo. I heard some people's glider can run back to them even though they let others play with their glider. Thats my target now! Hehe.

Currently the best I can get is my glider running to me whenever she hear the sound of the yogurt drop plastic package opening.

Yea, I could do that too....she'll stick her head out, check got offer any food or not, no food = back to sleep.

Need you to clarify your definition of "bring them out" ehehe.

Well, you can try that with caution la. I only dare to do that in enclosed area. Still there's a risk that your glider got frightened & suddenly jump off to run for hiding. So I probably just let her out, show people for a while & hen put her back In her pouch.

Mine been making that sound on & off too over a year already. It's neither crabbing, barking nor it's hissing, not too sure what that means though.

Nail clipper.

Sounds like normal, gliders like being in high places.

Sometimes......better safe than sorry, so probably should go see a vet.

Many would say yes, everytime I bring my glider to doctor....sure kena scold because of this. But ultimately it's your call.

There's some tips on introducing gliders to each other in the 1st page. Maybe you can read up some more online.

There's no guarantee cause each glider behaves differently, just like us humans. So you just gotta be patience.

Patience young padawan.

Firstly, your glider need to get used to the new environment (your house). Normally it'll take a week or so for joey, but yours is a matured glider (i assume?), so may be longer. Also I think it did came out, just that you never notice lol. Mine won't come out if there's light on, she likes the darkness hehe.

Once she got used to the environment, feeling less scared & stressed, she'll come out when she's comfortable. Mine absolutely love the dried yogurt drops, to the point that just by hearing the sound of me opening the yogurt drop container, she'll pop her head out to see if there's really any yogurt drop waiting for her or not. You can buy those yogurt drops from most pet shops.

Then you can start keeping her in a bonding pouch with you during the day time. They're nocturnal so daytime it'll be sleeping, so if you're bringing it around in a bonding pouch, try to avoid noisy places. This bonding period varies from 1 glider to another, some people need more than a year to be bonded with their glider. So be patience, give it time to grow into you.

BTW they're not like hamsters that will be roaming around the cage most of the time. They're usually asleep throughout the day & only comes out active for several hours at night. Unless you've really trained yours to be awake during the day & be less afraid of the light.

Super duper possible!!
Secure all the cage doors properly.

It's not really biting, if it really bites....your mom hands would be bleeding pretty badly already.

But yes it's annoying whenever my glider does that.

Erm, not sure how true...but from someone else's experience, normally single glider will develop nibbling habits.

Wah, looks really small. How many months since out of pouch?

Only 1 ekor ka? I got 1 female only.
