Yeah loh....i think frodo and eowyn first time eating sunflower seeds also....they don't know how to eat when i first gave them...then i see gollum eating and they saw how he eats...then now they like it very much....but i try not to give them or leave any in the cage.....give them only when they behave....

Sometimes they are like that..my gollum last time so moody to me...like tak layan at all...so what i do is don't feed them their favourite mealworms for 2 night..by 3rd night....confirm see you quickly come out to the front of the cage to ask for mealworms....hehehe....

kweekit: great stuff...

KP: My eowyn same also....starting to be really easy to handle...

Tossing??? .....never try before...


Frodo had been very shy but still a bit cheeky..this morning while getting ready to work...he had the hissing sound....then i look to the cage...can see him hide back into the pouch..like playing hide and seek......hahahahah

Yeah..i visit that site a lot....admire the colour variant they have...ehhe...actually i ordered their monkey biscuits, cereal and the powder. Just received it yesterday...will be testing it for my SG today....will probably use it as a treat.....

I think they feed a lot on eggs, chicken and worms. I ask the petglider lady before, she said at least 10-15 worms each glider.....then also i think maybe because the weather there got cold weather...so i think that's why they need to be slightly fat to keep warm...

Lately the weather here in Malaysia also so hot...i turn on my fan whole day for them just in case they cannot tahan the heat....ahhaha....

Anyway, I tried feeding them the monkey biscuits and the cereal...they lick lick lick but i think no taste.hahaha....i think i pampered them too much for fresh food now dried food don't want liao...even the sunflower seed also hardly take...but i mixed the powder multimvitamins in the fresh fruits..totally habis everything.....heheheh

Last night eowyn was so naughty, after feeding her worms...she will do her normal rounding around my living room..but this time..she is so naughty...she went hiding somewhere and i tried looking for her for 1 hour...cannot find...worried like crazy.....

Then finally when i was about to give up...found her at one corner of the curtain... ....i got mad...i went over there..put my arms up....scolded her then she came to my shoulder....the next thing i could feel she was trembling and pee on me.....poor thing....i bet she must be also scared liao...as usually i can find her back within like 5 minutes..this time so long..she also must be scared too that i didn't look for her....when i walk back to the cage..she quickly jump balik into the cage.....

Added on May 10, 2007, 11:36 amActually they are allowed to keep Sugar Glider in Australia as pets but must obtain a license. And a few regulations like your cage size and stuff have to follow. As only the zoo in australia are allowed to import/export/sell sugar glider from what i was told by an Aussie based in Melbourne. Sort of chat with them before online. Very nice people. I saw their cage setup. I pun malu man for my cage....

My books arrived!!!!....

Added on May 15, 2007, 3:12 pmI am thinking to use hay for my sugar glider for the bottom of my cage...as since i got a big cage now...the woody pet bedding is no longer any much helpful for me now as my glider will pee on most of the branches i have in the cage....kindly advice which type of hay is safe .....

thanks..

Frodo hissing has been very very regular lately until the pink pink thing comes out......anyway to solve this problem ah?? i am getting worried ...

Thanks Hun...i am thinking also..to bring it to the Yeoh Veterinary Clinic...but I just want to give it one more night to see how is frodo doing....I did try check around and they said try give apple juice.....so i did last night ......hissing sound no more....

but don't know who was barking....around 5am....non stop......

Well..try to monitor again....Apple juice seems to work real well..you guys can try....make sure you get the 100% non-added sugar apple juice..

Anyway, i did some test....for those who are afraid to feed your sugar glider with live crickets...i put in some crickets in the freezer.....they froze like in less than 1 minute....then you can feed it to your sugar glider.....hehehe...

I actually pull them into those microwave safe container - like hun's container type. Then straight put it in the freezer. I find it the best way to keep them. Not so smelly compare to keeping the alive.

Added on May 17, 2007, 3:28 pmMaybe nightmare....my gollum sometimes like that...sleep in the pouch comfortable...then suddenly will crab a bit......then i will just stroke his fur or hug him at my tummy....

This happend to my gollum when i first got him...it was due to stress that his bald part got worse...now with proper diet and also with new mates like frodo and eowyn..his bald part is getting better...

So i believe it is due to either stress or diet....try leaving him and not disturb him for 2-3 days....feed him the necessary 50 (fruits) % and 50 (protein/carb) % of diet...make sure he really makan all of it.....and see how it is...if things don't improve..i guess have to see a vet liao....

I keep them in those tong we use for mopping. Then i make a net over it to cover....i put newspaper and fruits and change them everyday..

since i discover using the freezer method now...seems to make it much more easier to keep...ehhehe
