Hi Everyone
Kangaroo Meat as a glider food............ interesting as kangaroo meat is very nice & very lean ie not much fat. Hun / anyone if you get a chance can you tell me who & where this "holistic glider food " is made. the percentage of protein seems very low as the mix ( liquid part ) that Australian zoos use has a protein percentage of 52%. I might try & contact some people in Australia & see what the latest mix is over there.

lol

I cant exactly describe how he twitches, but he only does it, as far as I know, in his sleep (his eyes were closed).  Otherwise he's vey healthy. I'm just asking if this is not normal behaviour lah.

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...

Good boy!

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

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...

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...

who me ? where got . u are the one wanna kidnap maa . i just make a distraction . haha isn't that right my "patner in crime" ?

ofcoz they dont want them to sleep. if not, ppl cannot see them in action . so just put them inside a empty cage lor. just food and water in the exxoterra bowl. and theres a small hermit crab tank just infront of the glider cage. the light are bright and really close to the cage. sigh .. dah la no selimut or coconut hideout. next to a hot bright lamp pulak and they took it out .. put at ppl hands ...  . but what to do .. its not my shop ..

hi guys i'm back. hey cheeka seeing ur male gliders reminds me back when i first got mine. today his testical was missing. i'm assuming it that it had fell off. i've search through the whole cage but failed to find his little ball. must i apply anything so that he won't get infected or smtg like that?

Hun
At least down in malaysia the sellers give the buyers a variety of food for gliders - up here they just tell them to feed bananas & corn
CFP - maybe Chika wants to learn how to swim or catch some fish for it's meal. Maybe you should buy a small aqualung for it so it can go diving

you sure? coz after that his p---s got quite long..
