awwww 

First, I shud say that I found him, safe and sound. He was curled inside my jewelry box! I didnt even think he can fit inside there, but there you go ^^

Alright, noted, I shouldnt have let him roam on his own, but I dont have a big cage for him yet (still kumpul money to buy), and I feel sorry for him to be in a small cage (size like the average hamster cage). I've been letting him out at night and in the mornings he always go back to his pouch, so I didnt think much of it.

I will be more careful, I promise!

thats chika ... and yes .. both edi back to normal. shish . they made me super worried ! ..sorry to kacau u at 3 in the morning ! hahaha

owh .. btw.. the bald spot now really showing la. can reduce it or not ? kesian laa

no picture ? so cute !    KIAH KIAH 

hahaaha .. ei . i hv one huge problem .. aiko and chika seem doesnt like me much since i got akira .. maybe about the smell ? what to do ? bath everytime i touch akira ?

vinegar = doesnt work
baking powder = doesnt work

haih .. later hv to find aromatherapy shop .. maybe can get lavender candle also .. help me to sleep .. huhuhu eh .. where the heck is the shop ? anyone ?

I used to work at an aromatherapy shop, but now that shop closed already.

I'm also looking for one, but dunno where.

Make sure the peppermint oil you buy is 100% essential oil, not perfumed oil.

Perfumed oil doesn't work cuz it's just the perfume smell of it. Only 100% essential oil works and has healing compounds in it

Hun, yesterday went to Carrefour Wangsa Maju. Now they selling pets also in Carrefour It used to be hamsters only, now got others also. I overheard someone asking "Where is this animal? I want to see." When I look up, I saw a small cage labeled Sugar Glider - RM350. I was like WTF! Nasib baik the glider tak ada, the promoter said something about them being shifted or something. Arghhh, now places like Carrefour also can simple sell suggies I had Iggy and Luna with me, feel like asking Iggy to "gigit" them all!

We need to curb those commercial breeders lah, too many already! Don't we need a license or something to become breeders here?? Can we get the law to do that?


KP

What's MSGA? How to do it?

Later suggies will be overpopulated and evn sadder without many good owners cuz Malaysian people like to buy on impulse especially when see so cute

Dah la we don't have proper food for them (except for Hun's mix, but only forumers would know about it) and then the people selling teach wrong things to buyer

I think actually people don't think about inbreeding with pets.

They think since they're just animals, "who cares", or "what's the worse that could happen?"

Thus why the petshops even sell "gila" hamsters and dunno why they "gila".

I also think we don't have any special breeders with strong network for certain type of pets so that people who are interested could get them directly from these breeders rather than the petshop. You know like they have in the US for suggies and such...

If we have certified breeders who is really certified to breed them(with knowledge and such), it could give those commercial breeders less opportunity right?

Hi all...sorry had been so busy that had not been able to catch up..anyway...while reading this..yup..I noticed that there's no control over small pets like this....I did checked with WWF Malaysia about the mass selling in adpost last time...the ones we saw with lots of adults for sale....

and this is the reply i get..

Thank you for your email.

Sugar Gliders are not protected/ enlisted as endangered at this point of time, but it may eventually be so if it continues to be in demand, as pets for example.

It's actually difficult to identify between a wild & captive sugar glider. Even if it is captive, the adult males/females that have been originally obtained may not be captive, as it only breeds twice a year - as mentioned in one of the posts in the forum:
But how are you going to get profit from an animal that can only breed twice a year? Easy, you just get lots of adult pairs and set up a sg factory.
Breeders may need to obtain a lot of adults from the wild for this purpose. A dealer/breeder needs a license to prove that it's captive. Otherwise, when in doubt, do not purchase the sugar glider.

As it is not protected, there are no laws stopping people from bringing them in. However, Indonesia issues a permit for all wildlife (wild or captive bred) exported, so, any Sugar Gliders that arrive from Indonesia into Malaysia without these permits should be considered illegal and should be reported to PERHILITAN.

WWF-Malaysia works together with TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network to ensure that trade in wild plants and animals is not a threat to the conservation of nature.

hie everyone!! i've read lot of things from this thread.. so today ive made my decision to own a sg.. ive already bought the cage from pet safari.. complete set;  the cage, food bowl, vines, artificial plant, the coconut(for sleeping), foods and lots more.. so now i've heard bout the mass breading, i felt a bit afraid i'll get an untamed sg.. so any true breeder around here? i really wanna own a sg.. so plz help me.. where can i get a handraised sg? if can get it asap it would be GREAT!! cant tahan already laaa... so tempted.. huhuhuh.. i tahan bout 2 months d... now my hand so gatalllllllll... ahahah

Hmm, I think I also wanna visit Dr. Yeoh soon...

Hun, I think I gotta give Iggy & Luna a bath again lah, so smelly Already talked to Luna so many times about hygine and stuff, guess she doesn't want to listen or don't understand

Vio, when the whole testicle and tube becomes dry it will come off like I've told you before. If there's no infection, then he'll be fine, just worried if there some infection, then he'll fall sick or something... I think do what CFP suggest, call Dr. Yeoh and ask. That day if I could not get hold of my vet friend, memang want to call Dr. Yeoh, but since she already explained to me, I didn't la...

Let us know how it's going.

CFP, got a slightly over age glider is OK, under age aje very worrying. But your case female jadi male, memang sucks ley...

Sense_less, meaning you think your suggie under age lah, he could be then. As for now, don't rush into getting another glider too soon, I think now a lot of people are doing that and some doesn't seem right...

Why? Because when people wanted to get a glider for a pet, they know that gliders need companion and needs a lot of time and attention, still they want a glider... So their best choice is to get 2... But having 2 gliders does not mean that you don't need to spend time with them, or they're fine together... You still need to interact with them, let them out for playtime with you, carry them around in the pouch with you because if you don't, you will not get that special bond of having a glider as pet... You're better off having a pet that doesn't offer this, like a hamster perhaps...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not directing this to you, but just generally speaking. I'm worried that there'll be abandon cases by next year... So worried...
