Yeah, that's the bald spot. But this pix was taken a few weeks ago, now really2 bald already...

I dunno lah, everyday I see a few leaves at the bottom of the cage. Sometimes he'll even pick 'em up and chew, chew again... I just hope he doesn't swallow any of the bits... Habis the leaves rosak already. We want to make his place look nice and natural, he go destroy it... If only can get a real tree, kan better...


KP

KP... my house got real trees... guava tree, ciku tree & rambutan trees... wanna try...?

Haha, would love to, but wouldn't want to make my Iggy as test suggie

Not all live trees can used, especially if any sort of chemical is used...

So far the ones I can remember that is safe are eucalytus tree and apple tree.


KP

Rambutan tree is poisonous to gliders.... and I think ciku trees too.... not sure about guava...

don't worry mine are organic... baja taik ayam...

Oh my..how old is your Iggy...because Frodo is only a bit bald only....i am suspecting Frodo and Eowyn maybe younger than Iggy.....

Anyway, i also want to find solutions for the smell...now with 3 of them together....3 times the smell..hahah

I presume that when I took him, he was 6 months because the bald spot was not visible. And it started showing like after 2-3 weeks later, where they say gliders mature at 7 months onwards.

Now Iggy would be around 8 - 8 and half months old.


KP

Oh My....that means my Frodo should be around 7 months plus old....my god....no wonder lah eowyn so darn active....

Err, that I dunno, cuz the prev owner did say they're around 1 yr plus... If they have been keeping them for a yr or so, don't you think that they are 1 yr plus??

Could be that Frodo doesn't musk a lot, that's why he doesn't really develop his bald spot. Bald spots happened when they musk a lot. The liquid emitting from the forehead dries up and can shed the fur around that area.

Remember gliders can live up to many-many years, do you really expect a year or two is considered old for a glider?? I would think 6 years onwards would qualify as old...

1 year is not old.... I would say 7 years is old hahaha.... the bald spot, I think every male will develop it at its own pace... like what KP said, see how often they musk....

but are you sure Frodo is a male? Can see his 2 little things or not?

oh...then frodo must be some spoiled pamperd SG....but i noticed after seeing him mixing with gollum.his bald spot is starting loh..

he is definitely a male lah..got that little dangling thing..hahah...

Hahaha... then I bet you are one of the very few where your male gliders do not fight... really rare.

Huahaha, Gollum's wiseness must've touched him, hahaha

I think they can get along cuz Gollum is a cool dude... Err, glider


KP

Mine makes cute soft snuffling half barking sounds when they sleep. Its so cute!

And the both of them are double trouble. Likes to roam around the room and pushes things over. They especially love sitting in my big sombrero - which I have yet to use seeing how it is a critter hideout when they roam the room.

They are both very smelly too.... but I somehow find the smell comforting - not the smell of the cage (which is horrible) but their critter smell. Hahaha when I smell it I immediately think of soft cuddly grey furred babies. Omg I am incurably addicted to SGs!

Hun,

Tell us how you roast the crickets. Won't they jump about and dirty the inside of the toaster?

CFP, yeah, mebbe they're dreaming... Iggy always, suddenly lift up his arms lah, legs lah, stayed in the position for a while, woke up, blink, blink, then sleep again...

Had a huge argument this morning, my husband mentioned to give up Iggy, I cried like mad... I can't imagine not having Iggy anymore, I couldn't even bear the thought... He was being so mean... Then he said Iggy can stay if I change the bedding I'm using - The Woody Pet... Sighhh, I'm sooo mad!

Tomorrow jugak gonna look for a different one.

Hun, the Careline you mentioned at PS, izit the same area with all the other bedding? Didn't see it last time when I went to look for the gerbils bedding...
