crazymouse...me want also....
me cyberjaya ..
want to try for my new babies.....
i think i got female twin...hehhee....

Wui Wui... Wats up?! Wat happen to all the ppl in here? Why today so quiet 1 ? All sleeping like SG ar?

hehe.. we have become one with our sugar gliders...

owh ya, DeeDee escaped from her cage today.. okay, not really escape lar.. my carelessness of leaving the cage door wide open..

din realise she was missing until I saw lil poop on the floor.. so searched my room for her.. couldn't find her... then took some tissue to pick up the poo poo when someone started crabbing.. teehee.. DeeDee crawled into the tissue box and fell asleep under the tissue papers..

aiseh.. must be more careful next time.. good thing Joey was fast asleep in the cage.

On the contrary, I think ur mix is perfect. Yoghurt is an extremely rich source of calcium - paragraph 6 http://www.pygmypets.com/sg8.htmlApple and carrots are excellent sources for vitamins. However, for the sake of taste, do vary fruits once in a while.

The broiled chicken is more than a sufficent source of protein. But considering it gets boring in taste after a while, u shud try live prey items like pinkies or cicak. Gliders dont tire of them. I've been keeping gliders for about two years now and they never get sick of the taste of blood and flesh.


They love cicaks... dont forget in the wild they naturally prey on any moving thing they can catch.

As for my glider diet here it is:-

3 times a week fruit slices with dog biscuits, sometimes with rasberry/strawberry jam.
3 times a week yoghurt with slices of fruits or dog biscuits.

And once or twice a week live prey.

Regards.

sry for askin, so if u feed them with live prey, r they still tat tamed, o ganas??

still tame. From my experience, it's a misconception that when u feed anythign with blood to pets they'll revert to their primal nature. Not so - at least in the case of my gliders. And as u can see they don't eat their children just because they eat live prey.

ok, thnx for da info

calcium and vitamin in yogurt and processed fruits varies in brands though. In Gerber applesauce for instance, has 75% vitamin C but 0% vitamin A. Regular canned applesauce may have as little as 7% vitamin C but 1% vitamin A but of course we don't use that because many in the market have added sugar and salt.

Many yogurt have calcium as little as 4%. Some may have up to 45%.

where u get the cicak ek.r u buy it from the shop or u catch it urself?

how much is the rough cost to rear these cute little animals? so interested~

Catch myself. I have alot of creatures that eat cicak. Most of them snakes. There is a technique to catching them that is much easier than rubber bands.

mind to tell us the skill of [cicak catchin] that u developed?

Ha ha. so cute!! Must becareful lor, last time mine also the same, forgot to close the door. Then suddenly came out, luckyly didn't step on him!!

Thank you for the feedback Boigamaniac. I do actually feed my SGs a variety of fruits with the mix and calcium powder sprinkled on top, as a staple part of their diet. I am also feeding them meal worms and would eventually feed them crinkets.

While your suggestions in feeding them pinkies and cicaks may seem viable... I can't do it!!! I think the ickyness factor is way to high for me. Feeding them the mealworms is already a little gross, but I am fine with that. But seeing blood and guts eaten by my SGs is another thing altogether.

I admit I am a big wussie with a faint heart. But I would still like to kiss their snouts every night and not think of the gore.

PS: Anybody want to share their SGs' diet list as well?

^ there's a thread dedicated to that.

wanna assk, if those yogurt sell in pasar malam 1, homemade 1...
isit better???

the content has not been analised so you wouldn't know if it's better or not.

Just get plain yogurt with no sugar and funny stuff added. It's not that hard to supplement calcium with calcium powder or even Exo Terra's Calcimize than to go search one by one which yogurt has a higher content of calcium...

Brought them to work today, not an easy task. They escaped and jump all around the place Lucky they came back when I take out the mealworm container. Aih...

haha. ours just sleep when at school or work. or just stay close by. at night only like monkey. in the car as well.

Now they are sleeping lu.... noti noti babies. Maybe this morning they are still active. Now like piggy already.
