1st of all, thanks for replying  notworthy.gif
what i mean by reject is when the babies wanna hang at her
body or follow the mom, the mom will jump everywhere seem like she
dont like those babies hang or follow her, is it normal?
because i have other female that breed before, never behave like this,
they cool even i try to pick they babies
i dont want to separate them for sure but if that not normal or might
be dangerous to the babies should i separate?
need helps and suggestion here actually  notworthy.gif
*
the joeys are barely 2 weeks old, usually the mom will take care of them well
but it shouldn't be the problem if it only happens at night when the mom comes out to play
i've seen mommy gliders jumping around playing like there's no joeys on them...
but if the joey were to cry, they will definitely come to their aid.

i'd leave it to the mom if it is up to me.

is the father taking care of the joeys?
How about day time?

australia = young to old grey colour
indonesia = young grey , old yellow colour


Anyways , due to dad sickness , i have no choice but to sell my sugar glider. if anyone interested , please pm me.

Female 3 months old.

no such thing...
the colour is due to tainting....
all wild gliders will come out yellowish
if u use coconut shell, or rarely wash ur sleeping pouch, they turn yellowish
if u clean properly all the time, they r always grey...

my customer been keeping sugar glider for few months. she never use coconut shell and always wash sleeping pouch.

The sugar glider eventually turned yellowish.

Fed daily with apples only.

poor glider, pls ask your fren to provide better diet.

as for the colour, understand that in the US there are many variation.
Mosiac, leucistic, albino, black beauty, etc....
in fact, in Malaysia, we have them too...but we do not separate the colouration that much
i call my gliders standard grey, but the actual fact is that 2 of my breeding pair actually produces black beauty

i'm still sticking to my opinion that the yellowish colouration is due to tainting
if you study glider behaviour, you will know that gliders actually mark their partners too
so even if u clean everything, the males might mark them
that can also contribute to the yellowish taint

anyhow, that is my opinion
if you beg to differ then by all means, go ahead

cheers!

Hi there.

I have a situation in hand: My female sugar glider looks like this...
[attachmentid=2721695]
[attachmentid=2721697]
[attachmentid=2721699]

Background:
Cage is the normal big cage. Nestbox house.
Currently 3 sugar gliders in the cage - male, female, and 13-day-old joey.
There are other cage colonies in the room - 7 other big cages with a pair of sugar gliders in them. None, including the male mate and the new joey is suffering from the "situation".

Has been this way since mating time, I think. Is it possible of a rough mating happening - the male bites the neck and overgrooms the area? Because judging from the position, the female cannot overgroom that area by herself.

Another question: How long does it take to get back the back of the neck coat? My other sugar gliders have shiny and healthy coats due to good eating habits.
*
Go to the vet, it might be some fungus or mites.
Too clean for a mating wound.

anyone here provide babysitting for atleast 1mth or at max 2mth??

due to job commitment im starting to pay less time to both my glider. Still thinking to go up for adoption or babysitting.

please advice
*
babysitting won't solve the issue at hand...
will your job commitment be lesser in 2 months time?
usually it will only become more, not less....

btw, is it true that suggies will turn yellowish if they sleep in coconut house? mine doesn't exactly sleeps there, but just goes in there for a while every night. he still prefers sleeping in pouch  tongue.gif

yeah, usually it will due to tainting

hi guys, my gf just bought a 3 months old sugerglider, Before buying it, the sugie seems healthy and active. but right after my gf bought it, it started to change. it become less active, sleep a lot and worse it kept poop a lot, The stool was kinda watery and solid at the same time. but he kept on poop until it seems tired of it. its all happen right after we bought it and she had been taking a really good care of it but the symptom wasn't going away. so what should i do? should i just go bring it to the vet?

i wonder, how do u know it wasn't like that b4 u buy it?

Ahhhhhh the pain.
Entered shower with 50+ scratches (friend counted =.=)
after bonding with my 2nd glider Pabu and doing some intro to Momo.
Both of them climbed and clawed as if im a tree T_T
i cut their nails afterward.
*
U should have trimmed the nails first
That way, u wont get the scratches n if they fight during the intro, there will be less injury
But it seems that u r the biggest casualty here.lol!

hi, i'd like to ask how old do you think these babies are?

[attachmentid=2972017]
[attachmentid=2972019]
do you think they are two months old?

my friend bought them from a pet shop (forgotten where) and they told him they're 2 months+ old but they're really tiny (compared to when i got mine at 2 months). initially another one that looked like the first picture died so my friend went back to the petshop and they replaced a new one for them.

what got me even more furious is that the sales person told my friend that he just needs to feed the gliders with the dry food ONLY and it's sufficient already!  mad.gif  mad.gif  mad.gif

u look at the growth chart on the 1st page...then u compare...how old do u think it is?
it looks damn small to me...

Sometimes it's not the glider cause gliders groom themselves pretty well. It could be the cage, the rotting food, the pee/poo etc.

i think a bottle will last at most a 5 days if u feed high water content fruits. I usually refill every 3 days. It's important to monitor their fresh water intake.

of the years i've been keeping glider, i find gliders to be very hardy animal...none of mine was ever dehydrated b4. one died duew to exhaustion when i was still new to gliders.

but other than that, they r really hardy.

my Blackjack's penis has been out for a couple of days now.. heard it's normal when it's their mating season for the penis to be out all the time.. but what i don't think is normal is that ... one end is in normal pinkish red in colour whereas another end seems to be darker in colour.... like dark red or almost black..
*
No, it's not normal to be dark in colour. Might be injured, better get it checked.
