Oh, better not use it since it doesn't state what it contains.... it could cause more damage than good.

You must get pure calcium powder for reptiles... not some concoction of vitamins and minerals. Get Repti Cal.

hey guys need some advice over here .is this suitable for my gliders user posted image
its' kinda sweet(contain sugar ) but he loves it.so should i continue giving it to him?
and how u guys actually play with your gliders?mine usually will climb here climb there only. besides how do you ppl train ur gliders to be so loyal? mine won't come went i call his name unless there is food with me.
*
No.... the one with mixed vege is not suitable. Get the Wheat and honey.... it must not contain milk. Wheat and Honey is sweet and has no added milk. Some gliders can fall sick from taking milk. If you did not bond well with your gliders, then they will not come when you call their names.... this is normal when gliders live in pairs and rarely have a closeness with their owners.

If you want closer bond, you have to get your gliders 1 by one.... get 1 joey first... after 2 months, get your 2nd joey.... if you get 2 at a time, sometimes as people, we won't spend much time with them so the 2 joeys will bond with each other more than their owners. I mean, if say you only feed and touch touch a bit every day, a glider will not see you as a friend but only as a food provider.... to bond, you need to spend about 1 to 2 hours really hand feeding, playing and handling it everyday. Pouch bonding is a must to develop trust and also for the glider to recognize your smell and voice. Always speak to the glider and repeat its name. In time, it will learn but gliders have a mind of their own, they will only some to you sometimes if you call their names, sometimes they will just ignore.

It's not good to own only 1 glider in the long run.... 2 is the best. Getting gliders 1 by one is a good way to focus bonding but you must still get 2.

oo i see. i have a pair of gliders but everyday i will only take mine out and let him out from noon till night, during that period he will always be with me . so if this still can't make him bond with me, should i separate his gf?
*
No, separating the male and female will make things worst.... if they are always with you, means what? In the same room? That won't help much. They have to be on you.

SG is outdoors? No wonder, this is not the right way to keep SG because outdoors got night predators.... who knows, if escape how? Also, 2pm to 11pm... that is not the right time to bond with a glider since it is their sleeping time. Gliders become active at night which is around 11pm to 5am... on and off there are small naps in between and during the day they also will get up on and off a bit to drink or eat.

Normally, the day time is for pouch bonding and during the night is to handle and play. Changing their natural timing can cause stress too.

Anyway, to train it to know its name... it depends on the glider. Not all gliders will answer their names since they do have a mind of their own. I associate name calling with food and treats so this makes my glider aware that her name means good things....

As long as your glider is tame, then enjoy and be satisfied with it.

Haha, sorry for the lengthy explanation, all the result from owning a suggie and the dizzying research.

I really want people to understand suggies better, it's not easy, but it's possible smile.gif

I don't want people to abandon their suggies if little things go wrong. You also know a few cases rite...

Yeah, disturbing their sleeping habit is not good. Suggies are nocturnal, and we cannot change that no matter what. However waking them up for short periods should be okay, but if they want to go back to sleep, we cannot stop them from doing so.

Haven't gotten around to tossing Iggy yet, tried, but he just hold on tongue.gif

Ooo finished very fast smile.gif Good, good, I hope I'll not miss the next gathering smile.gif

Yah... all experience and research. Pity coz many gliders are sold off when their owners tire of them... the unlucky ones are then set free into our jungles or forest, I wonder how they are gonna find food only.... sad....

Kiah does what she pleases, just now at around 11am she went back to sleep... for sure around 12am she will be active and will have her dinner tongue.gif

You need to hold Iggy in a way where his claws are not clinging on to you.... hmm... your palm grabbing him from the back, then fling and toss.

The best is scoop when it is soft enough.

rclxms.gif thx guys really appreciate it.if I can't take in the cage  then maybe i can make my room as their home and maybe can earn back some money by selling the big cage by getting a smaller one  icon_rolleyes.gif . oh btw lucky got you guys, i did't know that playing with them during the day will make them stress. i thought doing that will make the bonding process faster. beside how often u guys giv calcium supplement to the gliders?
*
During the day it is pouch bonding. Just let the glider sleep in a pouch that is hung on you.... only take out to handle and play at night.

It is best to give supplements everyday. That is why I do the glider mix, everything inside and easy to feed.

well . my house has 4 infrared cameras and the one in my room have mic .. and a computer records them all .. edited abit and .. there u go .

Hmmm... her sleeping habit was like this since you got her or just recently change? As long she is sleeping most of the time then it is fine. Joeys tend to sleep more and have odd waking hours throughout the day.

thinking the same thing .. can put hay ?

Hay is perfectly safe... but hay don't absorb urine.... so.... it won't really cover up the smell. And when hay gets wet, it tends to go stale and moldy-looking.

Could be a phase only.... don't worry, will go back to normal. Kiah was also like that at one time when she was a joey.... but pretty soon it just goes back to sleeping in the day and active at night.

a little advise a guys form u guys  rclxms.gif . i'm wondering will their ears hurt because of the sound of violin and piano?

If the sound is not direct, means they are not on the piano or next to you while playing the violin, then it is ok.

QUOTE(krynzpeaches @ May 16 2007, 10:22 AM)
Cheaka, Eowyn so smart & cute wub.gif Hope to meet her soon wink.gif Hmm, as for the bedding I also dunno what to suggest cuz your cage so big lor, if something expensive, then die lor... Instead of hay, mebbe the normal shredded bedding? Like the one used for hamsters, but not pine lar... Atleast these kind absorbs a bit of the urine unlike hay. Or maybe corncobs... I'm currently using what Hun suggested, Litter Star, but I find it so-so lar cuz right after he pee, the smell - whoa... It lessen when it started to dry only. After this pack finished, mebbe wanna try something else until I found something satisfactory tongue.gif Haha.

Sugre, I pm'ed you smile.gif

Vio, sounds of violin or piano, not so loud right? If it's not loud, shud be okay. But like rock concert loud, better not lar, they're very sensitive and could be scared easily.

Ohh, I made a hammock for Iggy over the weekend. He's suppose to test it first, but never caught him in it until last nite smile.gif So cute wub.gif As usual he did his stretching on the hammock like lying down like that biggrin.gif Tak sempat take camera lar...

biggrin.gif

I brought Kiah to concert and movie before.... she tidur like sleeping beauty, never wake up at all.... I'm really amazed hahahah.

Litter Star not working for you? Hmmm..... then try Breeder's Celect, RM22 a pack.... or Healthy Pet, Rm16.80. You can get both brands at Pet Safari.

That time she was still joey size... hahah... this is why she can tahan loud noises.... so used to it already.

Ohh.... after the silicon dries then the smell vanishes hahaha.... yah, that is how litter star works... a bit slow but effective at absorbing the smell. You can try the other 2... so far I have used BC, not bad lah.... I bought healthy pet also but haven't try.

Yeah, if it's accompanied with hissing, could be UTI. Is it very2 often Cheaka?

I'm not sure which vet to check with la. Know any Hun?

I recall in the SG thread ver 2, the earlier ones I think, someone did bring his/her suggie to vet to correct UTI, but I don't remember who lah...

biggrin.gif

I also can't remember.... but then maybe it can be checked by Animal Medical Center.... or Taman Megah's Yeoh Clinic.... coz not many vets are capable here.

Cheaka, maybe you can call up a few numbers from the vet thread. Try your luck with the KL vets.... I can only think of AMC and Yeoh....

but don't know who was barking....around 5am....non stop...... doh.gif

Ah, good that no more hissing. Just monitor.... once a while Kiah also hisses but not often... she normally hisses when pooing coz her poo all very big hahahah.

About watermelon.... we should not give so much coz watermelon is a bit like junkfood... other fruits are way much better than watermelon. Of course gliders will pee more coz watermelon contains more water than other fruits.... it is better to introduce water than to give more watermelon....
