Hun's 012 number is not working. She's working and after work very tired. So she doesn't come online much anymore.

Ugh... The Quicko is quite gross. It has ingredients like corn/soy and even pork.

So all this time you've been feeding them nothing but apple and applesauce??? Honey is also not a good idea for young gliders.

Did you give them any source of protein? Ground boiled chicken? Cat/dog kibble? Crickets and mealworms?

A good diet would be to give various fruits such as mango, apple, pear, a bit of grapes wouldn't hurt either. Protein can be from boiled eggs, boiled chicken, mealworms and crickets. The only source of protein I've seen them take willingly are crickets and mealworms. If you can, give more crickets and less mealies, cuz mealies are high in fat.

You can still use some applesauce, but don't give it as a staple. Ratio of fruits and protein is roughly 50 : 50.

Another thing, gutloading crickets and mealworms 12 to 24 hours prior to feeding is advisable. Make sure you feed the crickets high protein stuff like high quality dog/cat kibble, if not they'll start to eat each other.

Waaa.... So ganas and direct to the glider meh? My glider is also a WC fella I think. He was extremely aggressive and it took me about 8 months to tame him. When I first met my Pickles, the previous owner fed him some papaya by hand, instead of taking the papaya, Pickles bit his hand.

Now I can take Pickles out with me in his pouch, but one piece of advise : This glider will not bond to you.

You may be able to tame him to not bite and run around, but he will not respond to you and bond to you the way one that has bonded with you from a young age.

Remember, this animal was taken from the wild and put into a cage, it would most definitely be discontented if you rush the taming process. It needs time and patience to get used to it's surroundings and most importantly, you. Talk to it everyday, make it a habit to say good morning and good night.

Once the glider has become comfortable with coming out of it's pouch or house, offer it food and stroke it gently on the tail or back while it's busy eating. Later you can slowly move to stroking the head when it's used to it. Later, install a pouch into the cage and when it sleeps inside, take the pouch out with the glider and stroke it through the pouch.

DO NOT attempt to take the glider outdoors before it is accustomed to being picked up or touched with your bare hands.

This method is very safe and has a very high chance in taming your glider. I have not been bitten once by Pickles.

soggie, this is not a dog. A dog would understand your tone, but a glider, especially a WC one, will not. YES, a glider CAN bite you till you bleed.

The thing you walk in is a metal detector. For girls, can hide in your bra, but make sure not in your cleavage if you're going to countries like Australia and New Zealand. They check your cleavage too. For guys... Err... In your underwear? lol

lol
I figured, but there sure will be some Tom, d*** and Harry that would want to try.

We can't really do anything but tell them that it's not advisable in case of getting caught. Their endangering their own babies.

For me, I think the bowls are ok. But the vitamin supplements and treats are unnecessary. The treats most probably also contains sugar and food colouring/preservatives.

LOL
Died mango.

OK, just let me know when he wants to take her.

Miko

Who going to kelana station? I wanna follow.

Pickles is too smelly la. And finding it very difficult to cut his claws as they're very sharp now. Will bring Miko instead.

Where got pin sam? Would you like to bring an extremely smelly glider to a gathering and risk stinking like him at the end of the day. He's also not used to going out, so he may panic and pee while jumping on ppl.

Can ask Crazymouse how stinky he is. She's had a whiff of him before.

Just only cut his nails today. I don't cut that often because he stresses easily. He doesn't bite but he's not that tame. He was aggressive and adult when I first got him leh, so he's not bonded.

Just asked Crazymouse, she said Pickles smells as bad as Oshine.

My Pickles is so yellow, ppl think he's yellow because stained by his pee. lol

Yellow as in his underbelly. His top is VERY BROWNNN. Light chocolate in colour.

CFP : Err.... Hmmm... Did you read up on bonding at all before you got her?



Put the cats in another area of room when you let your gliders out. Always supervise them whenever they're out of their cage.
