Wah...so many new glider owners liao....I had been so busy that I had not been able to write here.....

So are we having another gathering ?? ..... My schedule should be quite free during the fasting month......

Frodo had been very very active now....which I am so glad....he is now looking to come out the cage like Eowyn whenever I open up.....whereby Uncle Gollum will still remain in the cage.....

Will try to take some pic of their fluffy tails.....somehow their tails becoming more and more fluffy with the sweet potato and carrot diet..... ...

aiya..sorry not view the previous post

felix is doing fine... hehe

hi carsonoel....i also have a 8month+ old female glider and am actually looking for someone to swap with...this is to prevent my glider from any in-breeding...currently i have 12 sugar gliders all together(6 males,4 females,2 still in pouch)...normally i do swapping with my other fren who also has about 10 gliders but i'm planning to expand the gene pool...so is it ok if i can swap with u?...if not, how much are u willing to let go...pls do pm me...thanks..=)

carrefour's sugar gliders selling at rm398, they put 2 suggies in 1 10x20x10cm tank. lol.

Yah... that's why this is gonna be difficult for you hahahah.

Luna and Iggy back with KP hehehe.... had fun babysitting them but having 7 gliders in my room is really not an easy task hahaha. All the crabbing and hissing. But thankfully everything turned out well.

Short face, wider head.... this could be another strain of gliders since I notice got the longish face and shorter face, tail length also a bit different.

Yups.... 7 weeks is too young loh actually, but then they are doing well with the milk I'm feeding them. So those who are taking the joeys from me, must get a packet of Pets Own milk from Pet Family, around Rm6.80 only.

Gawd.... I feel like a nanny, caring for some cry babies hahahah.

Sure you can't wait.... will give you lots of fun and headache haahha.

It has been a while I snap snap pictures of my glider....

Here's some shots i took last night while feeding them.....

1) Gollum.....his tail not like that when I first got him...glad he is looking good now...

2) Frodo...he just came out the pouch...have not groom himself properly yet.....but finally he is very active and healthy..

3) Eowyn....she is the explorer...loves to explore around.....very very greddy...eat more than the boys...

So happy to have Iggy & Luna back

Thank you for taking good care of them Hun

Let Iggy out last night, he climbed around his fav. curtain, but somehow didn't want to come back to me until I showed him his pouch. While Luna stay in the pouch with her head popped out and on my lap

They didn't eat much last night, mebbe not used to the mix with added Vionate & RepCal yet. I have removed the supplements on the mealworm now since I added it to the mix.

This morning when I was replacing their food, Iggy hopped onto my arm and didn't wanna get off. He nibbled very lightly only and scent mark me Try to shake him off (cuz my arm was stuck in the cage with him on it ) He didn't wanna get off. Tried to lure him off with a fruit cut, instead, he took the fruit and started eating it on my arm too So there I stood in front of the cage, with half my arm stuck in it for almost 5 mins until he finally got off

Then just now when I arrived in office, let them out for a while... Iggy crawled all over me and wants to go inside my shirt with his now super sharp nails Goodness, left my whole neck red and itching

Then he did his antics of jumping to the reception girl, crawl all over her, then jump back to me Aiyoo, when I'm around, he's so berani pulak...

Haha, I'm happy to have them back, all stinky, super sharp nail and naughty

Yeah, Cheaka, can see their tail fluffier

Can't wait for the next gathering...

I don't wanna miss it!

wow..so active !!

12 gliders? Thats alot!
How you manage to bond with all of them?

initially i have 3 gliders(a pair and thier son)...all are very tame and can be handheld except the dominant father...very ferocious...it bites...tried to bond with him but in the end i gave up....so as it goes along the pair had given birth 5 times so far:-

1st - one male
2nd - one male, one female
3rd - 2 males
4th - 2 females
5th - 2 joeys but still in pouch(about 2 weeks old)

talking about bonding...it's easy when their still young...i handheld them when they just OOP for few minutes for them to get used to my scent....do tat everyday(preferably in the night when the mom leaves them behind to feed)....this is so to prevent from interrupting when the joeys are weaning....

oops...sorry...it will nv happen again...

anchoviez , just wondering.. are u from Pet Lover Malaysia Forum also ?

Talking about breeding as in your experience is ok.... but pairing is a no no. Swapping is ok but no discussions of swapping for breeding. Do so in PM.

hM...nope...but i'm also a member in www.malaysiafauna.com forum for as long as i've been in here...but all the while i've not been participating actively in either one...btw wat's the site for Pet Lover Malaysia Forum?...thank you..

alright...got it...thanks for the info... =)

You also from MF? Hahaha... I'm one of the mods there as well.... anyway, it is always good to share opinion and also experience, we may think we know everything but sharing each other's experience is the best to learn.

o0o yea i've just logged on to malaysiafauna n i ur nick Hun if not mistaken...ditto! yea i totally agree wit u...

Yups.... but there not many people share about gliders, more to reptile lovers I guess ahahah.

yea...sounds like this is the best place to be...

Hi,

I'm new to this Sugar Glider...soo cute and even cuter...er, why aren't they called "Flying Fox" , same ?

Intending to get one baby glider soooon..but I have some questions about this cute glider..

1. if i get a baby, which is a better choice to get, a male o female ? better for me to get only 1 ? or a pair is better ?
2. is it advisable for me to bring along inside a car, when i'm on the move ? will it run around ? or should be in a cage ?
3. if i bring it out, will it get stressed if exposed to a lot of people ?

or any good advice you can give for a beginner like me ?

by the way, where can i get or find ??

appreciate it.

thanks for the informative articles on sugar glider...

cheers !
vince

1. female or male . it doesnt matter. many ppl say they prefer female .
2. just bring em anywhere. i bring them anywhere i go. to work, shopping, jalan2, balik kampung, etc. i put them inside bonding pouch . you can get it from KP
3. this one i'm not sure. my gliders aren't exposed to ppl. so they are abit angry when other ppl kacau them tido .

more research.

some home breeder or pet store. in lyn also got ppl selling.
