Sabar lar... Chika baru how long with you... Iggy mula2 kan lagi worst, cuz he's already an adult, not tame summore... I'm thankful that within less than 2 months he has progressed so much Feels like I've had him forever


KP

Yeah, well, not too loud lah, but ppl can still hear it

Today, made Iggy jump to me from my colleague, like 3 times cuz they want to see him jump. He's such a good boy, he knows his momma

Wahh, pickles also you just let loose in your room Reanne? Syok lah he


KP

Hehe, so cute

She got high not after that


KP

Hun, tell me someone whose not impressed with Kiah?

Everyone is...

Hehe, but so cute lah she hold the parsley

Wahh, Chika, hyper at 2 am She wants to play

Why la you give superworm? So damn biglah, Chika also scared... "What the heck???" (Runs back into the pouch...)


KP

Sounds like a good progress

I think their times almost like Iggy, at 8 still awake...

They sleep together

Hissing, we'll I learnt that there are 2 types of hissing, one is if a suggie has urinary problem, meaning difficulty to pee, another one is their way of communicating to each other, like calling them to come close or something

Hahaha, can't get enuff of them? What you plan to get?

Some info on hissing...

HISSING - This is yet another sound depending on where they are and what they are doing. So I will try to explain the best I can.

* It sounds much like a snake that is hissing that is in labor.. very short and deliberate hisses.. This can be a sound of constipation, watch them while they make this sound, there are very distinct differences between this and other hissing sounds. If the tail is straight up in the air and they seem to be hunched over, chances are they are having a hard time going to the bathroom and this problem needs to be corrected.

* This sounds very much like the one above but in slightly longer intervals, and has some slight differences in the pitches. this could be a sound of annoyance, basically they don't like something,

* This one has very long stretches.. I have heard this when one wants the other near to them.. they are long and drawn out.. You can actually hear the hissing going both on the inhale as well as the normal exhale.. Interpreted, this means "come here RIGHT NOW"

Added on April 7, 2007, 10:46 amWahh, CFP, Flexarium pun nak DIY But good idea also If can make it lesser than the Flexarium why not? I'm just wondering the zipping part lah, how to do? If I'm not gonna dissemble it, mebbe okay kut, but I need one that can be dissembled and assembled, for travelling purpose

Sighhh...

I have to work a bit today, Iggy's with me This morning, let him wonder in the guest room, then he went into one of my storage box, waited for him to come out, tak keluar2... When I opened the box, he was crabbing and doing the boxing action, then he went deeper into the box, dunno why, when I called him to come out and tried to let him come to my hand, he crabbed again... I guess he was scared that he was lost and perhaps the smell in the box is so weird what with some scented candles and all... But finally managed to get him out and into his pouch, he has that takut look tho... So kesian... Had to hold him and talk to him for a while. Normally when he's scared of something, he'll jump to me, dunno, mebbe he got confused

Reanne, Iggy does that peeking all the time When he hears someone near his cage, he'll peek

Kubiz, bonding with gliders takes time and a lot of patience. If you read up a bit, most gliders can be tamed, even the old ones, all it needs is time, patience and your effort Although it is could be slightly difficult, it is not impossible

CFP, wahhh, Chika dah fat2 also Hahaha Good lar.

Crazymouse, did you get my sms? Aihh Kiah, whacha doin with the hammie??? Hahaha...

Ohh, I went to PS on Saturday instead of Sunday, cuz went straight from office, so cudn't join the ferret session. Checked out the flexarium for a while, I think I will have to get one lah, the 22 gallon shud be okay for travelling, but kesian plak, I think 38 gallon is the best


KP

Wahh, cheaka, big also the cage But why does it seem like the sides are falling apart?

You should trim the cables tied to make it neater Use a cutter plyer or heavy duty scissors. I use the black pvc mesh with black cable ties, and I cut off the extras, so it is not very visible

CFP, wanna do a DIY cage project together???

Cheaka, someone told me that there are eucalytus trees in the Lake Garden... Made me feel like wanna go cut down the tree...

If you manage to order the tree, let me know ya


KP

If the cutter you use is sharp enough, won't leave sharp edges. Rather than leaving it sticking out like that, can poke people

Yeah, let's go lake garden My friend even said that the tree is easily recognizable cuz the sap emerging from it makes the tree look beautiful, almost like painted watercolor over it

Can put 2 suggies together in the bonding pouch huhh? They ok?


KP

Cheaka, wahh all crammed into one pouch Good lar Hehehe Take pix, cammed suggie

Crazymouse, yeah, I sms'd you on Saturday, no wonder la no reply

Alie, introducing 2 suggies got technique, I find the info link and let you know Not hard lah, shud be ok. If male & female, a bit more easier


KP

Hun, I'll sms you later, basically it's about the mix Need one asap

CFP, RM8 per feet, so expensive meh? Where you asked? I'll try and ask around, if got reasonable one, wanna do a DIY cage project together?

Okay, here's Iggy on the prowl today




KP

Female + Hungry = Pregnant??

Hahaha, just guessing


KP

Hehe, not scaring you, just what if...

I wash Iggy's pouch every one or two weeks, or when it seems to be yellowish... Funny it doesn't smell, but just turns yellowish...


KP

Nylon mesh can make it a portable one. But how to sew only lar...

Yeah, PVC tubing is good, no wood, cuz they'll absorb pee and the suggies can chew on it. If you can make the 3 way corner than good lar, mmg takde jual tu except for the T one.

Hmm, if use the PVC mesh, is there anyway to make it portable? Like can assemble and dissemble, plus easy storage?


KP

CFP, I've done a rough sketch of the PVC frame, need to scan then I'll post it up I found a way to escape using heat gun and making the 3 way connector

Hi jason, welcome

Having a suggie and traveling is no biggie, well, by land ofcourse You can take them almost anywhere using a pouch because they sleep most of the day. You will only need a cage or enclosure once you reach your destination, and there are many portable types available. Even a normal cage can be unassembled and folded when travelling, just that it's a little bulky However, the Flexarium is the best enclosure for travelling and as a temporary set up while you are on the go. Once unassemble it is pretty handy to carry around and ppl won't even know that it is a cage

As usual lah, initial cost when getting a new pet, can burn a hole in your pocket, but that's why research is important. If you can get all the info, and find all the stuffs needed for a suggie at a reasonable price, you and your suggie can definitely be happy Basically it can range from RM350 above (including suggie).

As for the vitamin & calcium part, I'm not so sure, better let Hun handle that


KP

Okay, here's the sketch...

Hope you can see what I mean. We substitute the 3 way connecter with an elbow and a T connector. One side of the frame will not be aligned with the other. But this way, if you rise the PVC wire mesh a bit, follow the front level, you can put a tray underneath your frame



Nanti I try skecth with the mesh on... A bit difficult, takut look messy and confusing

Aii, don't lar use hamster cage even when travelling, kesian them... Yeah, Flexarium 22 gallon also can lar if travel short term...

Hun, the DIY cage/frame cannot sell lar, not worth the effort to do it... However, glider owners are welcome to use the idea and DIY themselves. Even better, they can decide on how big they want it to be If you wanna make a bigger one, to make it sturdier, just add more PVC tubing, like across each side. This can easily be added with the T connector


KP

Haha, I very itchy to do the DIY cage, but I already have one... Mebbe I do one, take pixs step by step for ppl to follow Hahaha...

Yeah, Kiah so lucky got big playroom

Ehh, CFP you got another glider already ahh? Noticed on your siggie says chika and aiko???


KP

CFP, those plastic covered cupboard are around RM50 above each, but the frames are not PVC tubes, they are steel and sooner or later they'll get rusty... As for the IKEA shelf, wood not recommended as they will absorb pee that will make cleaning difficult plus the suggies will chew on the wood which might be harmful to them.

I found a site where she has done her DIY cage using PVC tube frame, almost similar to the frame I sketched.

Oh yeah, her website loading very difficult and I couldn't trackback when I wanted to get the address, tho I've copied some pix in my folder...

I think the J clip can find at the hardware store, mebbe gotta get the pix or cari sendiri lor... Or else the zip ties should be able to hold it as good as the J clip

If you wanna make it sturdier, even using PVC tubes, as I've mentioned before, add two more side bars to the frame only.
