Hi, please refer to the first page ya.. All informations are there.

"Never introduce an adult male to an adolescent female. Adult males may attempt to breed her if she is ready or not. This can result in severe injury of the female or even kill her"

what should i do?

Teddy's late 'dinner' today. I tertidur awal last night. Kesian Teddy. Hahaha

Get your male neutered xD jk. Or wait till your Joey are matured. Separate their cage first. Correct me :S

Owner ni so bad . Hahahaha.

Btw, day 5 Gabrielle is home. Bonding day 2. Got bitten by her yesterday. Then today she keep crab in the pouch. This girl very pouch protective. Takut sama dia but have to act brave. Lol

And I fed her hard boiled egg yesterday she don't like

Do i have to seprated them for 8 month?the female matured at 8 am i rite?
1 more thing, my joeys crabbing when i give her hpw.. how to get her to drink hpw?

Try to put away your hand first. I used to handfeed my gliders HPW by using mini straws or a syringe. As long as they dont smell you, they wont crab that much. Just have patient on introducing food to them.


Now to my updae on my female glider, good and bad all come at once

Good news is she's pregnant. According to the pouch fluffiness, it seems like there is 2 joeys coming out soon and I mistaken her slow activity due to her eye swell.

Eye swell subsided after given her a quick home remedy with natural eye seline and warm water wipe (Google hangout session with my fellow vet friend in States while doing so). Appointment made with Dr Yeoh since the clinic is super near to my house.

The bad news is her nails are super long. Eye infected due to her forceful action of pulling off her nail from getting stuck. After a night in the nail trimming track, she can now easily remove her nail from getting stuck and will see from there.

Success!!! Thanks..
1 problem solved...

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

Yeah, this is my first visit and first time ever to bring a pet to vet I adopted them nearly 3 weeks ago

I first introduce hpw to my baby by just putting the hpw in her food bowl. She licks empty haha. Then I will dip my finger in Yakult / hpw sometime then she will lick my finger. Super cute!

Bonding day 3, used about 30minutes + 3 yogurt drops to transfer Gabrielle from her sleeping pouch.
Surprisingly no crabbing anymore, and she climb on my palm for the first time. Super excited.

Hi all,

I have a female sugar glider aged 4 years old but I'm unable to spend as much time as I was during my uni life because I have started to work few months ago. I would like to know should I get her a "cage mate" after all these years being alone ?

Thanks !

Your gliders male or female? If it is male is it neutered?

If yours is male, getting him another male would be the best option, but your cage will stink like crazy unless you have both of them neutered. If you want to get a female partner, it is always advised for you to get another adult glider instead of joey, because we fear the male might attempt to mate with your glider before she is ready which can cause injury and premature pregnancy which might lead to death.

If your is female then nothing to be worried about as they tolerate younger gliders better, be it male and female. Female-female pair is the best option as they wont be marking all over the place like unneutered male-male.

For starters, let them stay in separate cage, but place the cages near each other so that they will get used to the scent. Then bring both out to play in neutral area to see their interaction with each other. Wear a thick glove just in case they fought as you might need to separate them. If they are okay in neutral area, you can then try bring them out in the same pouch.

If all is good, time for one to move into another's cage.

EDIT: Ok I just saw it is a female.

hello all glider papa and mama, Im new to sugar glider just bought 3 days ago..he is 2 months old..but I had problem on his diet.. he doesn't want to eat his pallet and HPW.. he will only eat some red apples..Im worry about the little wan..how to increase his appetite? all sifu pls help..

Your HPW use what honey? Or the one with honey included? Might need to change the honey.

I usually will try feed them a bit later than usual as it would make them hungry. When in hunger they will usually just eat what you serve. In a way this is to teach them not to be picky.

thanks emino. I bought Bugsy HPW Complete. (petshop recommend) 1 small spoon with 3 small spoon warm water..and even I sprinkle some hpw on the apples..he doesn't seems interested to eat lo..

1) yday I try some scrambler egg with some hpw and honey..not interested oso
2) Bugsy Premium diet pellet..not interested oso..
3) Ate 1 mealworm and few bite apple only..
4) gave him some honey, he licked few times only..(Brand) Nectaflor Acacia honey..( Can or not?)

as u should know, glider is very picky eater... u must mix couple of fruits and vege..

and u should monitor his eating also.. and water intake as well..

its a new home after all, need some time to adjust..

hand feed is always the best for new suggie..

noted. will still study on it. thank you Sifu
