Aiyoh, poor Frodo..... hope he gains back his weight. Normally gliders can get diarrhea from taking stuff that are too sweet.... hope he gets well fast. Poor boy.

"siapa makan cili,dia terasa pedas"

hahahaha

lohh..can berpantun ehh...

Hun, just a lil update, remember that I told you Iggy & Luna's poo was kindda soft when I start giving them the mix with the pumpkin? I think it went on for a few days only, then their poo was okay back... I think mebbe at first they weren't use to it... Anyhow, I still want the other mix cuz they eat a lot nowadays

Hmm, eating something too sweet can cause diarrhea huh?? I love to give them sweet-sweet fruits Their latest addicts are "rambutans" cuz right now is the season and I have loads of rambutans at home. I peel off the flesh from the centre seed and tear them to smaller grab size pieces, 1 rambutan, both of them can finish within half an hour But ofcourse I don't give them everyday cuz their fruit menu is different everyday.

I'll list down the fruits that I've given so far and some comments after I've compile 'em for cross reference

Added on July 27, 2007, 11:53 amJust an update on Frodo,

his appetite had picked up very well especailly on mealworms, at least 10 or more day... and i noticed he has been drinking more water too...but his body still look very weak...but still very very active with his black colour backside... ....

still got a bit of diarhoea......will monitor him more till end of this week and see how's his progress...luckily he is not fussy with the medication from the doctor...he seems to take it very well....and easy to feed him with just a drop of the medication. ...what a good boy...

poor Frodo .. Get Well Soon, Frodo !

Ohh, that's really reasonable.

Good that he's eating more.

Suggies if sick also remain active most of the time.

Hope he really gets well soon.

He takes the medicine just like that? No need mix with any food?


KP

Yeah...he is such a good boy....I just have to hold him and point the bottle and drop the medicine near his mouth...he will then quickly lick it....yum.... ..... the medicine could be sweet....

Good boy!

Btw, now I always give wasabi rambuta also. Is it necessary to seperate the seed and the flesh?

KP, your pool of sugie's knowledge

You make it ur self??

Ohhh.... new for them I guess hahaha.

Yah, I read it at 1 website.... they said that diarrhea could also come from foods that are too sweet or very high in sugars. Maybe if we give once a while is ok.... but I think fruit sugars is nothing. More like honey.... coz I remember I gave joeys honey before, they had diarrhea.... stop the honey and no diarrhea. This is why I do not include honey in my mix loh.

Frodo Frodo, get well soon!!!

I think they include corn syrup or sugar into the medication for this is similar to antibiotics for birds that I got from AMC long ago.

Yes, separate the seed coz most fruit seeds are toxic to small animals.... I have no idea if it the rambutan seed is toxic to gliders or not but I do know that the branches are toxic to sugar gliders and can make them giddy or sick if chewed.

I was just back from pet safari. They had 5 new baby sugar gliders, all look barely 6 weeks, all crammed into a small cage. They were generating quite a bit of interest among ppl there. The staff was showing off the joeys and putting it on people's hands and all. I was angry and told off one of the staff because he picked up one of the joeys by the tail!

On a bright note they were fed fresh fruits, but poor things, look so young

Sigh... petshops.... stressing out the poor gliders.... this is the biggest mistake they are making. But what to do? All also looking for sales.... all want to generate interest so that people would buy them.

The advice the staff gives are always wrong. I heard once that they just say eat apples, oats, mealworms and dogfood.... some even say nestum(not pet safari but others)..... A pity.

BURN THEM ALLL ! WACHAAA ! .. CRAZY PPL !!!

Sense_less, it has been mentioned before that any fruit seed that we cannot eat, remove them before giving the fruit to your glider. And yes, it is better to give any fruit flesh in small grab sizes for your glider, this means that all fruits must be cut into small pieces because the like to grab and go their food.

Lance, no lah, the suggie pool of knowledge is not done by me It is done by a lady namely Yvette Staple. I dare to give her weblink out because I find that the stuff compiled by her for the pool of knowledge is one of the most comprehensive and detailed. It provides an all in one help/knowledge needed by new suggie wannabe owner who's a bit on the lazy side to search about suggies on multiple websites

Hun, from what I know lah, people say that honey is actually heaty, you know like how people say durians are heaty. That's why I guess honey not so good to give to glider especially in raw form...

Yeah, I also saw the joeys at PS. Bumped into CFP there We almost joey-napped the joey cuz so kesian at them There were so many people wanting to look at them, then the joeys were not sleeping, but eating... I guess cuz no one feed them at night so they had to eat during the day... Ohh and I think they purposely didn't put any sleeping place (coconut or "kain") to avoid the joey going to sleep Right CFP?

Ohh, and yes, the cage is very small, appx. the size that CFP stated...

KP

Just a little update on Frodo.....he seems to be really okay now...still a bit more diarrhoe but I think he pretty much clean up himself this time....hardly see any black stuff stuck at his butt......

It has been such a regular routine for me to take him out and dump his backside in a bowl of warm water to clean his backside...he is now so used to it....he will just hold on the edge of the bowl and let me clean.....what a good boy.....

It has been a while i have not show some pictures....here's some.....

took it quiet a while ago liao...
