Thanks

I hv 1 male sg 8 mths not very tame...How to tame with him?Scared he bite me hard... =\

hello there..do anyone know is there any petshop or people providing boarding service for suger gliders in kl area? thanks..

How did you get that 8 months old glider?

If I'm not mistaken, glider boarding is RM10/night.

Better find some friends or relatives that can look after your gliders, it's not that difficult anyway. Just chop some papaya & feed every night.

My friend gv it to me

can try to start by sg familair your smell..

Any old clothes wear..that can be use napkin.

spend more time sg so it notice you around.

Do you feed personal up front when they active.

Try to give snak/fruits that not usualy they take. Sg like to try eat new stuff

Like felixmask said, you need some time to bond with your glider. It won't happen over a few weeks especially since it's 8 months old already.
So be patience, don't give up.....go check the 1st page on bonding tips & continue doing it. It'll bond with you eventually, the key is don't give up.

Always approach with the back of your hand. He will feel less threatened and even if he strike, he will not able to inflict much damage because the surface is wide and their mouth cannot fit in for a bite.

A tips for male gliders' owners. To reduce the bald spot on the males' forehead, clean the patch with wet towel frequently. The bald patch is caused by the oil produce at the scent patch. Hair + oil = no hair

My 1yr old horny male still have very handsome head with no bald spot.

Because i'm worry as they can eat until very messy..and i biasa change the newspaper under the cage everyday so that it won't get smelly..aiya.. 4 ekor susah a bit..

Yea Gliders are very messy eaters, so if you pass it to people who don't have much experience....I suggest them to feed more solid fruits like apple, pears etc.

It's only for few days right? But yea 4 gliders are a handful lol.

Yea I feed them...his nails so sharp and when I want to handle him he keep jumping on me and running around the room.. sigh

Had been wanting to own a Sugar Glider but still do not have enough time and commitment yet. Jealous of you guys. Guess I gonna wait some more!

err..even apple and pear they can sambil makan sambil jump jump jump..i was like
erm around 6 days..consider quite long and im quite worried..beside feeding them at night, they biasa have yogurt drops as supper before they sleep.. haihhh send for boarding I scare they never take good care of them, send to friends I scare trouble them..

You have to trim his nails, it'll grow so sharp that it'll be like needles. When it jumps onto you, then nails will be practically penetrating your skin.
Then depends on how sensitive your skin is, you may get rashes or infections. For me, it'll bruise & itch like mosquito bites.

What I did when I was at your stage (wanting to get but not sure whether to get or not), I visit people with SGs lol. You get to play & escape the commitment.

Yes but at least they'll chew the apples/pears until dry before spitting the residue out. When I feed my glider papaya, woah....next morning it's like someone got brutally murdered in the cage only. It's like blood splash all over the place.

Try to go back to the person who sold you the gliders? If you know you're the type that will travel every now & then......getting a panel of people to babysit your glider is important lol.

Another option is to attend pet events with gliders involved, get to know of other glider owners around you. Then you have a circle to lean on to during emergencies.

The most important reason why you need to trim the glider's name is for the welfare of the glider itself.

The nail can get tangled onto their pouch or toys, and gliders when they are stuck the often becomes stress and will starting to eat its own hand in order to release itself.

This could lead to further self harm and excessive bleeding and will eventually leads to their death.

hahaha agree with the papaya thing..once almost vomit seeing the papaya mix with the pee & poo

erm normally my mum can take care but this time she will travel with me..
actually two of my gliders i got them from petshop..but luckily i brought them home..when i got them they are actually 4 and 5 months but no ppl buying them..they looked so small that time..now everytime i saw those gliders in the petshops which provide bad environment and apple only for them, i feel so bad..now even the sugar gliders' price is getting low..those underage joeys look so kesian..
my another two are their kids which i dont feel like giving out to other ppl..so now terpaksa keep 4 ekor..tomorrow going to send the daddy for neuter..feel so sad and nervous now..

well..actually i checked on those events..i saw previous there are numbers of gathering for sg owners..but now seems so quiet..

Hi, if counted today's night write up, it is third day having my male SG which is 3months+ during adopting. Seems like the SG is very scared of me whenever i put my hand in cage. The first day i adopt him, i have hammock and sleeping pouch ready in the cage, and second day when i wake up i saw him in the pouch and thought he is sleeping, so i leave the fruits ready on plate for him and never kacau him. Until night time around 9pm he still havent came out and eat, so i go touch her sleeping pouch, my SG make some noise not sure he is angry or scared of me, he try to bite me whenever i get close to his pouch, i have no choice but to take of the sleeping pouch and let him run around the cage, ever since then until today (3rd day) i never give him the pouch, i scare he want to suicide inside, so now he sleep quite comfortably inside hammock as it is "3 story hammock".
His food intake should be OK as i have sacrifice 3 consecutive night until 5am or 6am just to see him and ensure everything is alright but never get close to him because he eventually run away from me. My cage is 4ft tall but the cage's door is quite small for my hand to fit comfortably, so how should i bond with him properly?

1) you adopt 1 sugar glider...mean it lack of socialize activity.
2) your sugar glider inside the cage, you don't need scare but you need to let SG knowing your exist.
3) Sugar glider like to play with new toys ....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXXi52t7IS8
4) Sg food maze expriment, let them to think http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=328k5KigMTU


Summary you need time & patient to interactive/socialize;
