I found a pelleted diet sold in Pet Safari (Toby's). Is it good? It contains fruits, honey and mealworm. I think there's more in the ingredients la, but Darren was bugging me to go, so didn't read all.
*
if read correctly, it contains corn meal, pork meal, blood meal and soya meal.... corn and soy not good for gliders.... but these ingredients appear a lot coz cheap and good as fillers but not nutritious for our gliders I think.

I don't see any of what you mentioned. It only stated protein, honey and another thing... I forgot what is that, need to reconfirm.
Yes, you may but the pellet is not enough nutrient. My gliders ignore it. They don't like the pellet somehow. Make me wasted 20+  sweat.gif
*
I saw in the ingredients... or maybe I mixed up... lol, but I read a few brands of pellets for gliders online, all also soy base and has a lot of types of meal in them.... hahah, better stick to fresh foods for them I guess.

QUOTE(Sugre @ Aug 24 2006, 12:24 PM)
I bought those pellets from pet safari too. Not sure if their any good but my SGs don't like eating it. In fact they like these natural organic cat kibbles a lot. Roscoe will go through all the cat kibbles he can, greedy critter. Then look really desparate if I don't feed him the cat kibbles and start eating aspen  ohmy.gif

Lucky that he now likes the mix I give him.

Anybody's SGs bite them like all the time? Everytime I put my hand in to touch them they will sniff at my fingers and then proceed to bite it. It doesn't seem vicious though. He will grab onto my finger with paws and claws and start biting and nibbling. Maybe my hand smells like food? I don't know....
*
Wahh... what kibbles are those lah? My Kiah haven't start on kibbles yet.

Hehehe.... your gliders same like Kiah, she likes to nibble and bite my fingers... oh well, she plays like that too and now my arm has lots of scratches... tongue.gif

ooo... my glider will not bite when play with them but they will bite if they feel irritated. hahaha... especially the MiuMiu where she doesn't like being held and she bite quite hard, though no bleeding or anything.

Both of them like to lick my fingers hahaha... whenever I disturb them from sleep, they will start to lick my fingers and continue sleep back  laugh.gif
*
ahhh... you very lucky lah... now I wonder, can train my Kiah not to bite? Well, it is not painful, more like nips but then it has become a bad habit already.

Got give Kiah branches to bite or not? They need to trim their teeth lei..

She bites everything now loh... plastic, string, the grapevine, bags... I got give her branches but she no interest in it yet hahahah....

QUOTE(InfiniteVoid @ Aug 25 2006, 10:41 AM)
hmm... you like Kiah to nip or lick you? If you like her licking you, you can train her to lick you. How? try practice feeding her honey with your finger. Everytime you approach her with your finger, make sure you apply some honey on it. She sure will start to lick it. Try to make this as a practice on daily basis. Once she get use to it, she will start to lick whenever your finger approach her.

I have been using this method since the 1st day I have them  laugh.gif
*
Of course lick is better mah hehehe.... ok, will try your tip with her.

i tot that 1 should be not da same ma, the thinkness of the nylon line also not da same liao la, those nylon fruit bag seems thinner...

btw, no sg stock comin soon, by next week?

Aiyoh, we are talking about testing. If glider chews that then might as well don't get the flexarium. I mean if we dunno if the glider chews nylon or not and then buy the flexarium, then it would be a waste if it chews it after buying it.... so better try. Those nylon fruit bags are great to test just how our gliders react.

better buy normal bir cages than flexarium rite ? much more mahal somemore..

Yah... but flexarium cleaner... heheh.... once dirty can wash in a bucket of soap water on just throw into a washing machine... then it is light so can carry around loh... Still, a large bird cage is much much better for security and safety wise.

Finally got the SG from Connie.

Well,the SG is quite stubborn and bad-tempered....Maybe because I'm his new owner..

Anyway,he's sleeping now...Guess don't disturb him much...

How often should I feed him?
*
A joey needs 2 meals first.... feed early morning and later in the evening. That would be the best for a growing joey hehehe... well, I did that and my glider turned out very well.

Gliders can get used to noises.... Kiah loves my dog Chelsea and Chelsea loves her back.... see lah, I try and get a pic of them kissing hahaha....

Kiah won't wake up from loud noises.. dogs barking, car horn, drums, clapping... I carried her everywhere with loud noises when she was younger and she has gotten used to all sorts of noise heheheh....

Eeee cute! Is that your new baby?

Stayed up till 2am last night doing the mix for my critters. Could not bear one day of seeing their sad faces if I don't have any mix to put into their bowl. Really am a slave to my SGs. The moment they get out of the cage they poo and pee. Especially Roscoe who have the gall to drag his poop all across the floor!  shakehead.gif

Hey anybody has gliders that don't eat their fruits? Mine did at the beginning. But after a few weeks of giving them the mix, they have only nibbled at the fruits but licked up all the mix. Worrying... if they don't eat the fruits will they get enough nutrients?
*
Your mix, did you put calcium and vitamin supplements inside? The thing is about the mix, once you feed the mix first, they won't want to eat fruits coz belly full. Always feed fruits first. I feed fruits in the morning and at night my Kiah gets the mix... sometimes it's the other way round. The mix@ Slurp already formulated with vitamin supplements and calcium so my glider gets all her daily needs. They still need fruits for fiber and enzymes in it... so best feed both. If don't want to eat fruits, starve them till they are hungry then only feed fruits.

Thanks  smile.gif  Have been reading up about gliders for some time but never thought about actually getting one until recently. Still, indeed there's always loads more to read up about hehe and yeah, will only be giving him a slice of orange 2/3 times a week. smile.gif

Question:

Where do you guys get your glider's daily vitamin/mineral supplement? I read one of smellyocheese's post where she mentioned Reptivite, Sera's Reptical C and the Exo Terra Calcimize. Where are these available at? What about vitamins?
*
HEhehe... finally you got your glider.

Reptivite you can get RM29 at Pets Wonderland but I bought the last bottle from MidValley heheheh.... Sera's Reptical C is RM36 I think.. Exo Terra Calcimize... I dunno how much. There is also another calcium, Wardley brand, Rm28 a bottle... I include these in my glider mix....

Crazymouse could you get all the above vitamins at Pets Wonderland? Which outlet? I have been looking for these supplements. So far I am only feeding my gliders the magic powder that I bought from Pets Safari.

By the way, to anybody who has expressed an interest in Sun Coast Glider's products: I have just discovered that they do not make any deliveries to Malaysia. This products will only be delivered within the USA, until further notice that is.

Not all can get from PW at midvalley.

ReptiVite and Wardley you can get from PW but Sera's Reptilcal C and Exo Terra Calcimize at Pets Safari.

If you need small animal Vitamin, get Canopy or LM brand.... Canopy is Rm12.80 a bottle and LM is about RM16 to Rm17 a bottle... both kinda hard to find these days.

Joeys need a heat lamp if they are below 2 months... but 2 months above no need any heat lamp unless sick... also, no need light since they are nocturnal. Do more research please.
