Jealous!!! My GongGong still bite me

and where you gonna put the cage...?

I'm also waiting for donny's and pie's cages.

haha. good la. but her nails weren't too bad to begin with.
i have to file pie's nails also.

they seem to like the new food you gave me

try not to trim so much lor.. I think just filing would do.

sandpaper.. just use it supervised... should be alright.

I realize that male's nails are longer and sharper than female's nails.

Just clipped Benben and Sasa's nails. Now they cannot climb properly
I dun wanna try using sandpaper since their hands is so soft. Try to make them hold a mealworm with one hand - distracted, then clip their nails. That works for me.

gerbils nails are sharp too... I was thinking of filing them but they wont hold still so its impossible.

best time to do their nails is when they're sleepy/sleeping.

how does nail file look like? If I go to watson and ask them, they will know ar?

And for the bedding, do u guyz still put the metal thing on top of the bedding or just leave the beddin for them to walk on it? (hope U guys understand wat I mean-dunno how to explain)

As for me, my babies cannot touch the bedding. Coz separated with the metal thing. Yes I know what you're talking about.

Reason is to prevent my babies from eating the bedding (i.e. Sugre's babies)

lol lucky u know wat I mean. I taught no 1 will giv me answer.. ur cage must be very big, cause mine if I put the metal thing also they can reach for the bedding (hamster cage) How old is ur babies?

nail file.



i don't use the metal bedding. when i was using the wood shavings the gliders sumtimes burrow in the woodshavings. no prob.

but I stopped using wood shavings because when everytime got ants I have to change the entire bedding. quite wasting so I just use newspaper and an old t-shirt/pillow case.

i read that most suitable for SG is like 3 feet cage??
small cage also work well with them?

Mine are adults ler My cage is 5ft x 2ft x 1ft... yeah.. quite big..

Hmm.. the metal thing I meant was the separator between the bedding and the cage thing wo.. how to say.. hmm..

Better dun use those small small cage lor.. they need more freedom to jump around. But dun simply buy cage la... if you find you dun have budget to buy a cage for your gliders then just use temporary hamster cage. When you save enough, then buy a big cage for them

5feet cage, damn big...
okok, thnx for da advice...
i will confirm on this thursday/friday see got go down kl onot..

Got place lah hahaha.... I never show you meh? HEhehehe.....

She so good.... today brought her to class... while doing marker drawings, she barked hahaha.... luckily soft soft. Aiyoh, so cute lah.....

They like the food? Hahah... not bad I guess when I simply put the left over stuff in.... well, I only left 1/3 of the container, gonna finish soon since Kiah takes 1 tablespoon a day now hehehe....

I cut before hamster and gerbil nails hehehe....

when they're young and only as a temporary enclosure it's fine.not forlongterm.

yeah. I know what you mean. I typed wrongly.

Late in saying this... but smellyocheese you did a great job wth the new thread. Very informative, I likey likey

Yes Sui Teng my babies eat the bedding at the bottom of their cage. But now that is not so worrisome. They make loads of noise at night, from their playing. When they are wrestling, one of them will fall and hit the bottom of the cage with a load "bam". Then when they run overzealously on the wheel they fly out and "bam" again. Then when they are on me and do their jumping to the cage or anywhere...they miss cue sometimes and land real hard. Will they break anything? They are so small....
