If I get the small plastic aquarium, can right?

How do we take it out to feed? If we open the lid, won't they jump out? Hehe, I feed the mealworms using tweezer lah, geli to hold

Yeah, once in a while I still read up about suggies, refresh memory

Yes, those plastic aquariums with lids can also.... I also use them. Do get the RM7 or RM8 size... coz if its too small, the crickets may eat each other up.

Hahaha... they will jump. So you must be alert. I use either my hands or tweezers. Oh yah, becareful not to use your fingers to catch the head... coz crickets do bite hahahah...

Aiyahh, enuff lah that Iggy bite-bite me, cricket also bite-bite one ahh... Gee, gotta reconsider again lah... Why oh why don't they have the canned cricket?? Would make my life and suggies way, way easier, hahaha...

Wanna try superworms, but they look too ugly and scary lah


KP

Eeee... Kiah don't like Superworms... and I don't mind mealworms but superworms are ugly to me.

You can dry your own crickets mah.... You got a toaster oven? You can bake the crickets till chrispy. Then seal it in an air tight container and keep in the freezer...

Yeah, superworms are ugly things, hahaha.

Aiyoh, my husband will kill me if I bake the crickets in our toaster oven which I normally toast his roti bakar

Hahaha...


KP

Ahhhh live crickets jumping around the inside the toaster getting toasted. Now thats a bad thought. Must kill them nicely first... I also wanted to feed crickets to my critters but I find it kinda icky. Not because I have to hold them but because I have to feed them and weed their carcasses and withstand their smell.....

Hahaha... of course must kill the crickets first.... erm... crushing their heads would do.... or freezing them 1st before baking.... I got the baking idea from a show I watched before.... chocolate chip cricket cookies... sounds yummy hahaha.

Also, gliders eating crickets may make a small mess... leaving limbs and wings and guts behind haahha...

superworm ? my hamster love it but chika ? hahaha first time she sees it, straight away jump to me and goes back inside the pouch .. haha damn funny !

Superworm my hamster and gerbil also makan.... but Kiah.... she was like "What the???" hahaha... chew a bit then she buang.... anyway, she prefers crickets to mealworms. I got no problem coz everyweek I buy RM4 crickets coz feed leopard geckos, tarantulas, scorpions and my gerbils.... gerbils love crickets.

Gerbils also eat crickets?? I gave mealworm they eat half only...

Hun you got so many to feed, can lar keep crickets stock everyweek. Mine even the mealworms, RM1 can last me a whole month

Okay, pix time... This was taken quite a while ago, now cannot even share my cage new set up and proof of all the exoterra leaves that Iggy has destroyed (yeah, habis all my lovely leaves ) cuz my camera got stuck and have to send for service one whole month

My gliders are so smelly

if diarrhoea is the common sickness for rabbits... and to avoid that we are adviced to limit the watery food intake such as fruits & vege... so, what is the common one for suggie and how to prevent...?

Have you tried any odour eliminator product?

Look for those natural ones that can be sprayed around the cages and not harm the animal...

I know PureAyre is the best, but we don't have it here

Heard of the Delikate small animal odour and stain eliminator is also 100% natural and is available here, but haven't tried yet...

Hmmm, since we're in this odour thingy topic, anyone here has used an odour eliminator for pets that you find works the best???

Yah,... so that is why i suggest you bake them hahahaah....

come come, I give them a "bath" for you

Sugar gliders are hardy.... but then young joeys are prone to diarrhea caused by high protein food and honey. But glider hide sicknesses easily.... the only way to know if it is sick is studying it's daily routine... if something goes wrong like not eating often or sleeping longer than usual and is less active, then it could be sick.

I treat diarrhea with a Bengy Vitamin Supplement, so far it works everytime for me.

Added on April 19, 2007, 2:50 pmI tried before Fido odour eliminator.... wasted my money.... no effect at all....

oh yah, HLP and UTI is also common.... HLP is due to the lack of calcium intake i think.... ahhh.... can't remember already.... must read again to refresh.

thanks KP (at a glance looks like a short form of Ketua Polis... ) i'll google that later...

thanks for the tips hun...

p/s: still KIV...

1st page got some details on a few common sicknesses.

Yeah, HLP is due to lack of calcium. Suggies bones are really fragile, lack of calcium can cause HLP. The sad thing is we can never notice it until they start limping which is a sign of an advance HLP stage which can already lead to death.

UTI is due to lack of some supplements.

Aiyoh, Hun, I don't think I can bake the crickets lah... You wanna sell me baked crispy crickets???

I think I'm gonna try the delikate one. Then see if it really works... Susah lah to get good product here, haishh...
