hi all
been contemplating whether I should get a suggie or not, been reading up on them quite a bit. Been reading this thread for the past few days as well.

However would like to clear up some doubts first, and decide if I'm suitable for getting a suggie. ^^

Some of you bring your suggies to your workplace. However if your suggie is still not bonded to you yet, do you let it out at your office when its awake? If so, aren't you worried that it might run off or hide somewhere?

If the suggie is in the bonding pouch the whole day, wouldn't it pee and poo in it? then if so, wouldn't it become very smelly? At least I know if I should bring wet wipes around.

coz I plan to bring it to work with me if I get one, afraid that it might get restless in the pouch. I know that they are nocturnal animals, thus thinking of getting a flexarium and putting it at my office as I might work late hours and all.

Thanks for answering my questions KP.
Easier for me to gauge if its possible for me to get a suggie, I don't want to get one and leave it all alone at home. Feels so bad if I have to shut them in the pouch whole day long if they are awake.

Btw, KP are you still using the Litter Star bedding? which bedding would you reccomend?

Any1 of you had made a leash for your suggie? Just wondering. Esp when they are not bonded to you, but you really want to let them out to run about. Cant possibly cage them for long.

that part is alright. I have discussed with the boss (my hubby), he says if really want, get a small flexarium, and put it at my desk. I'm just worried about the smell, since its an air-con environment.
coz several pages back, KP was talking about the smell when they pee, and you know how the smell can be contained in the air-con room.

Coz I saw online got people sell, so just wondering, since none of you had talk abt leash/harness before.
then i was wondering, about their patagium, whether it'll obstruct their movements, so that's why i asked.

Will be putting it in the room with me, but scared after too smelly, hubby might complain. but then we kept a dog in the room before so shld smell much better...lol . No worries, dog sleeps outside now. They had built an area for my dog to run around in. So the dog cant get my suggie(if I get it) unless I allow him to.

You don't use a pouch anymore? then how they sleep in your baju? Pocket ar?

lol
thanks for the info.
The moment hubby heard about them being in the bra, he vehemently rejected the idea of having a suggie without a pouch! I think he is jealous of all suggies right now.

OooO i didn't know Peel Fresh is just sugar water.

Hey KP, saw ur sales thread on the sets you made for suggies, they are really really nice!~

Are you sure he will be able to attract ladies while wearing a bra????????? I think he'll be attracting males more.

crazymouse:
oh no!~Its really sad!~ Sometimes I wish someone could just kidnap them and put them into safer homes.
Sometimes seeing them how they treat animals in the pet shop, make me feel like just getting them and bringing them away from that place. But then the pet shop still earn, so they probably wouldn't even bother.

ya but then sometimes you see those babies still suffering there. And yet you cant do anything. Its like this also wrong, that also wrong.

You prevent someone from buying, but then the baby will still continue to suffer in that place. Being pass from one hand to another. If that person buy, the baby might not be properly look after, but then it was never properly taken care of in the first place.

How many joeys must die before people will learn....
Its a Lose- lose situation.....

Ya me too, when I got my dog, actually before I got him, i already went online and do some research. The breeder for my dog also quite good in advising me, like what to expect, when he'll start shredding fur, how much to feed. But I usually check online to double confirm her information.

Her reason being, need to take care of both her dogs properly, so that they will breed properly. Her dogs are lovely actually.

Hun, don't bother about their cold stares, what you did was right, instead of letting a sugar glider be abused and neglected in the long-run. Esp when the pet owners never give the correct advice or instructions on how to take care of a glider. All they want is just a quick buck.

In Australia, the pet shops really look after their pets! Actually I went to only 1, that pet shop refused to sell us the rabbit, until we show them that we have a cage and its big enough for it. Felt like I'm being interviewed whether I'm suitable for keeping a rabbit.
