Hi everyone. I've just got my gliders few weeks ago. Any tips for me to make them bond to me? i've tried a few like putting in my shirt and trying to let them lick from my fingers but they just won't come. My gliders are a few months old but they don't seem to drink any water. About the calcium i use REPTOR C and i give a small pinch of it for their meal everynight is this ok?For their house i hang a cocounut shell. Must i put some cloth in it to make them warm? When i feed with mealworms which i put in their house they will start to make the crabbing sound.

i feed them apple, papaya,honey dew, orange, pineapple n i tried to make the BML diet except for the wheat germ n vitamins.ok i'll try to make them get out of the coconut shell n sleep in my shirt. but will they get a cold or smtg? because my area here has rain for a few days and it's very cold at night. how to get them into the pouch o? i can't even touch them. and how much calcium must i feed them? a little pinch?

so feeding pineapple,citrus watermelon and papaya is forbidden? About the calcium supplement how much must i giv them?

i'm using the powder 1. mine is Reptor C ,Reptimineral which has an iguana on the cover.

thx ya suiteng and the others that i forget to mention for always giving me advice. let's say if i over feed my gliders with calcium powder will any thing bad happen occur? Coz what i've read sugar glider which is lack of calcium the hind legs will not be strong and in the end it will die. So i'm very scared if i giv them not enough of calcium

erm can giv opinion on what i give my gliders is good or not?during night i feed them 1 big spoon of what i've blend, 1 egg + 1 apple+ 1 big spoon ( which mostly chinese people use to drink soup)+ 1 big spoon of honey) i feed them with green peas and apple. sometimes i feed them with cricket and mealworm. during morning i feed them a few pieces of honey dews + carrot. is this all right? i stop giving them the BML mix juz only because today when i went to a pet shop, the owner which also owns a glider told me that feeding those mix with attificial food(gerber's baby food) is not good. so i stop feeding them with that and i tried my own mix. So what do u ppl think?

according to the shop i went that day, the shop owner told me that even giving the baby food to babies often is not healthy for the baby. guess maybe the was wrong about it

oo thx i will giv less honey. How about the red colour dragon fruit?And if if mix some yogurt in their mix will it be good for them?

my gliders hang on top of the cage since morning till the evening until i chase them down to my T- shirt. they were sleeping in the hanging way. Recently my mum said a cat was wondering near the cage and she heard them barking. Is this really ok for my gliders to hang on top of the cage the whole day? kweekit how long u have ur gliders already? so fst tame them already ar? Mine like got angin 1 sometimes let me stroke them while eating, sometimes wanna attack me when i stroke them while they are eating.

mine ar is around 4-5 months old already. how to hand feed and catch them oo? when i wan to hand feed them they will attack my hand. the worst part is how to catch them n leave them on my tummy?? i scared when i put them on my tummy will they ran away? i have bought locks and i use some wooden planks to surround the bottom part of the cage so that they can't see the cat and the cat can't see them ^^
