Sigh, my male baby SG died yesterday. Two possible causes - one, there was a hardened piece of shit on his anus for a few days, which I discovered too late. After I removed the shit, a lot of shit came out, and that might mean he isn't eating properly for a few days. two, he is too young. The first thing he did when I introduced it to the baby female is to climb onto her back, things that a baby SG does with his mom (I'm guessing, since they are all marsupials). He didn't make it

Buried him yesterday night, and was moody for the whole day. Luckily the baby female Kiki is doing well. She's already jumping around the cage, practicing her gliding techniques by jumping from the roof of her nest to a bunch of fake leaves. And without the male now, she is extremely clingy to me.

I moved the cage downstairs to the living room so that my mom can play with it whole day. Hopefully she will survive past adulthood!

Now I got a question - do I need to buy another baby SG to keep her company? Or I'm thiking of giving her up for adoption... but only to those who already has sugar gliders and knows how to take care of her. I already witnessed the death of one, I don't want this one to die too.

Please help.

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.

Hi, I am new to this...after reading the first page about having Sugar Glider as a pet....I decided to get one...

Got it last Saturday....I think mine is the wild adult sugar glider....already cocoa brown colour....but he has been very shy on the first day i got him...hiding inside the coconut...

I feed him apple...and "koa chi"....

On second day, i try to touch him and feed him koa chi and apple...he takes it off from my hand...and also he is okay that i pet him and touch his tail....

But his hours very gila loh..he would sleep until 10.30pm only wake up...then only active at around 11.30pm.....he is active in the early morning at 8.00am....

I want to take him out and play but i worry that might stress him out....i put in my used t-shirt...cut out both of my sleeves and put in there...hope he will get use with it and slowly let me carry him out....

Can tell me more how you play with him?

to chal:
never bath your sg. their fur is like chinchillas, extremely dense. if they get wet, it will be hard to dry and may contract fungal diseases. what you can do, use baby wipes like suiteng does (am i correct?) or use absorbent homes like maybe coconut shell, wooden boxes available in major pet stores, or use good quality bedding. for bedding i'd recommend either aspen crumble or corn cob. i'm currently using corn cob, and it works fine for me.

also, part of the reason could be your gliders diet. is your glider's feces in pieces or liquid-like? if liquid like, then there's something in your gliders diet you should not be feeding.

to cheaka:
adult sgs are usually difficult, if not impossible to train and get used to the owner. but from what you've mentioned, it seems that the glider has been a lil accustomed to human company. use mealworms to 'bribe' your gliders on to your hand, but becareful not to feed too many, as i heard mealies are fattening, so limit about 4-6 a day. your tshirt tactic works, but use an unwanted smelly shirt will be better. have you heard of the pouch? get a small pouch made from breathable fabric and use it as housing or 'bed' for your glider. then when ur sg is sleeping in it, carry it around everywhere you go by hanging around your neck, get it accustomed to your body heat and smell.

to both:  try to vary your glider's diet, read up more on caresheets and foods which are good for them, and which are not. do your research!

good luck to both of you
