as far as i know, feeding dog kibbles to gliders is not good at all, considering the content of it. with an exception of holistic food with is made from human grade products. yes. many people had & is still feeding their gliders dog/cat food. but then what are the long term implication on the glider? glider anatomy is still very much unknown to us. as an example. when iguanas first arrive here, they fed it dog food... dun ask why....from observations i have & i spoke to a few long term owner....iguanas that eat dog kibbles live around only 8 years, compared to the 10-12 years if fed with proper food like vegetables & calcium suppliment. (correct me if i'm wrong on that)

glider mix as staple food is firstly called lead beaters(dunno why they call it that). its just a normal mix but is modified by breeders and keepers worldwide until it is what it is today. glider mix. so i have no complain over Sugre's mix. hmmm...but hans...yogurt calcium content varies by a lot. some expensive ones can go up to 45% but most of what i seen in malaysia, (the sugar & fat free ones) is never more then 12%. so u cant say its extremely rich. thay still need the extra calcium.


as for feeding jam, glider breeders world wide is NOT doing it unless its some suger free stuff, it is hard to get and expensive in malaysia.....sugar is not good at all for gliders. thay cannot handle our sugar. what they need s the natural sweetness from the natural foods.


its just what i have to say from my own observations & what read. its up to u all to google for what i said. Lolx.


and yes...a pinkie a week keeps the vet away.

not treating the googled itmes as gospel but some of them are really reputable breeders. ermm...i dint really say u cannot feed jam but the the sugar free ones.... well they can take it...but its just not as good lar... thats what i ment. perhaps i'm wrong. i dunno its just my opinion. humans like u & me can eat eagle pack holistic dog food as staple food but still we would not die aint it?


ermm....just my 2 cents.

u can collect where i can snd to you. see la this weekend can or not. i think hun a bit bz with shool & the movie...hahahha

not big ma...just tall...the floor space quite small one...

if u want a pallet type as staple food...can use cat kibbles. but then.. i'l just ask u to use slurp. healthy.

actually...u can leave it in the cage for 3-5 hours no problem

well...i did an experimant with slurp...i feed them frozen ones like ice pop, & melted & warm ones that i put in micro...they seem to like the cold ones.

well...updates on pie...i seem to feed her everything...lol...cheese from my burger, coke, and ice cream...hahahahha i knwo its no good but then once in a while...i cant help it..hahahha...was watching click the other day...b4 the movie was eating burger king, so i let her sip some coke.. pie being a demm mellow glider, turned an absolute MONSTER! she tried VERY hard to get outta her pouh for a good 2 hours duraton of the movie...she's so annoying that i gotta stuff her into my bag. lol..after the movie i let her out she just ran around my bag & body in a frenzy...hahahah....

coke=no good for gliders, like letting them taste "ice" hahahah

can...but u gotta train them not to bite it open. if u keep since young then should be ok...coz they will not learn to bite anything...lol..

he's ok with us...only a lil annoyed when i hold him. hmmm...the cage the 2 big doors...make sure its compleately closed...

i let pie listen to ipod in school...she likes...

D-12 - My Band. lol...

ermm...i put near her ears she sit still for a few seconds...like listtening...hahahahhaha.....tried to get a pict but then she got bored...lol

do u wash ur hands? i noticed that they like salty hands....or did u "do" something & forgot to clean up? hahahahaha

ermm..the wheel's nice..the price ok also..but plus shipping ><"

too expansive. mayb we bulk then should be ok...but then i never had trouble clipping pie's nail. a few worms does the job. bribe her with worms. hahaha....i using the habittrail space station wheel for her now. no complains also...its glow in the dark summore.

just saw crocodile hunter memorial show. saw him resQ a glider stuck in the fence....

yay...congratz & welcome to the board...do proper research first online & in other forums & glider care sites..dun just listen from ppl. do ur own research & find out what's best for ur glider!

its better to use night glo for them i use night glo for my gliders everynight. they seem to like the warmth. then its the rainy season now lar...star tortoise also getting flu d nowadays...lol...

nope. they die if they get wet.

ermm..i think there's a kinda cricket food form JBL. i saw in ah hee's shop b4. SS!9

mine's the class whore. everyday with diffrent people...lol....in class...everyone likes pie...almost all class mate's MSN sure got pie's pict of some sort....

u can use a lot of diffrent type. u can use reptical, or sera reptimenrelC. JBL also has their own calcium powder.

anyways. new batch of Slurp for gliders Coming soon. PM for info.

u can try putting him in a small specticle pouch & hang him round ur neck. he can get used to ur smell & in the same time, it get use to the noisy outside world. handle when he's active, usually round dusk time is a nice way. hand feed him meal worms or slurp. in time he will learn to trust you. but always remember trust goes both ways. trust him for him to trust you. do not always scared he will run away & confine him.

larkowen sold his glider to you?
