last night i saw at Uptown damansara...big one rm250 and the baby rm350 around that laa...actually what the market price for baby and adult?...im new here...

NAK BELI JUGAAAAAAAAA!!!! help meeeeee

Well, that's about the price range lar.

Joeys are more pricey because they're easier to tame.

Don't simply "NAK BELI JUGAK"! Read up on it first, there's a lot to learn about suggies before wanting to keep them.

You have to read and research. Asking those sellers at Uptown does not help even a wee bit because appx. 70% of the info is wrong.

krynzpeaches thanks ya

Kp,yup Chloey loves the PINK pouch.
She's slightly better already,less crabby.
When my hand reaches her,she still crabs.

Planning to do Bra bonding now,
but scaerd that she'll jump away from my body.

thats normal price for suggies .. and please research yaa ..

aiyah . becarefull next time ok .. we dont want to hurt those HUGE innocent eyes .. .ahaa . she sounds like chika when i just got him. for the whole first month, he only eat from my finger. dont want to eat himself .. haih ..

.. here got lots of female teachers maaa . ask lorr

Penang... have you tried Toby Pets? Well, I have no idea where in Penang can you get a joey but you should ask all petshops and maybe request if they can bring in for you. There are no serious hobbyist breeders in Penang I think, so that's the best way I can think of. Johor got a few.... but Penang.... I'm clueless.

Added on August 22, 2007, 10:32 pmWah.... so long and still crab? You must touch her more often. As said before, don't be afraid.... when she crab, don't remove your hand, just keep touching and stroking her.

If you cannot stop her from crabbing everytime she sees your hand, then it would be hard to do bra bonding coz you will have to use your hands to place her and catch her if she roams too much...

Make her trust you first lah hahahah.... make her familiar with your hands and voice. Even when she is inside the pouch, just poke the pouch and make lots of movement with your hands. You have to make her get used to all sorts of sudden movements and noises.

crazymouse_yyh never went to toby yet most probably this weekend
are they hard to breed ?
are they as bad as breeding hammys ?

A glider can only breed twice a year... each time only 2 joeys.... so comparing them with hamsters is a bit wrong lah. Gliders can live up to 10 years while a hamster is only 2 years.... so breeding only twice a year makes them, well, low in supply.

hoho.. havent got sg oso want to plan to breed ka..?

Wasabi now terlampau manja la! Everynite want me to layan kaw2 one, tak kasi orang tido langsung~!

aiyo sense_less143 sooner or later if i got them long enough also ill be thinking of breeding them la

and crazymouse_yyh thanks for the info
if im alwiz taking them with me can i just keep 1 instead of 2 ?

wht ar the age suitable for take one mre sg? 1year? er?

Haha, Chloey loves pink...

Let her be more familiar with you before doing bra/inside shirt bonding, scared she's not use to it and might wanna run out.

Once you can successfully put your hand in the pouch without her crabbing at you, than you know you have gained something

Tsk, tsk, tsk... Sorry to say, but I hate it when people ask about 'are they hard to breed...' Gives me the impression of impulse breeding...

I must say here that if you intend to breed them properly with the aim to achieve good, healthy and quality joeys, YES, they are HARD to breed because the food intake and proper housing has to be taken seriously.

I think I have mentioned before about it is best to get same sex pair to prevent breeding. Stick to female+female or male+male. Unless you can get neutered male + female. It is best for both the owner and suggies.

A lot needs to be taken into consideration before breeding suggies. So please reconsider even if you say "when I have them long enough, sooner or later wanna breed them."

Ask more questions if you must and we'll try our best to guide you.

Hun, yes, in general gliders breed twice a year. BUT, for captive gliders, they CAN actually breed all year long. It may not be as frequent as hammies, but it can be more than twice a year. It's a proven fact for all captive animals that they breed more often in captivity than in the wild or nature. I'll search back the information about this and share with you.



Actually whenever your 1st one is bonded, it should be okay. The sooner the better, so that the age gap will not be a problem.

You can search in GS or buy from petshops, just make sure that they are NOT too young...

Most breeders also are commercial breeders, you can't take their word for word too because I have found that most of their practise also appx. 70% wrong.

Search back on the few pages in this thread for ref on why NOT to get them too young and how they look like.

Added on August 23, 2007, 1:02 pmYou can bring them anywhere you like while they're sleeping. Just avoid too loud places like concerts and such. Movies have been proven okay once you're suggie is used to that level of noise.

If you're suggies are inseparable, you can bring both, no harm.

If you imagine taking your suggie for a stroll in the park while them perched on your shoulder, think twice, they might just hop off you and explore the whole park. Always carry them in safe pouches.

aiya..rihanna like to fly now lols..anybody wanna sell their cage XD

wow krynzpeaches thats deep
better not try it then
seems dangerous
and whats the right age of the glider that i should be getting ?
and is how old is the not too young and not too old

I wouldn't say it's dangerous, but it's just that you're playing with life when you breed and unless we intend to achieve the best, better not breed la

The best age to get joeys are appx. 2 and half months(8-9 weeks) out of pouch. By this time, they are fully weaned. BUT, unfortunately people are selling them at a very young age like as young as 5 weeks OOP to 7 weeks OOP. And they might tell you, that they're already 2 or 3 months old. We cannot tell how old exactly they are, only the breeders will know.

So a few hints to look at is that the tail must be fluffy. Joeys tail will actually start to fluff at 5-6 weeks onwards, only after 7 weeks the tail will become fully poofed up and fluffy. A joey that has rat like tail is the most No-No, that is way too young.
