Hun,

Suspect the fruits..... soft is ok, as long not poo watery. If watery means diarrhea already...... <------- abu sometimes the poo like this wan...if i give one whole day watermelon....the poo will be reddish and watery...

issit diarrhea or just bcoz of what they eat ?

sometimes oni like that....if change food...normal color...

Very, very liquidish poo, seems uncontrollable and very smelly.

Change the diet as per what Hun has mentioned and perhaps need some vet consultation cuz the vet will give some meds too.



Yeap, we need a thorough planning for the gathering

After Christmas I should be able to plan more actively



Like most people's advise, they can be trained. But my concern is that some gliders won't take it very well and might poo or pee in the pouch due to the discomfort and noise...



Hi!

I don't think that's a good idea... Just like what Reanne has mentioned, might hurt their feet and could cause excessive trimmings too.



My best balm is Tiger Balm... Rwarrr!





Hmm, if no taik mata and such, should be fine I think... When I come across taik mata, I will usually help remove it and my suggies normally understands my finger trying to poke their eyes

Hmm, the site is fine, but I have never came across that concern of breeding anywhere else... Could be the gliders she refers to are wild??

Mine has never had that experience although my Iggy is some sort of a hansap with Luna all the time



Arghhhh! How you do it???

I wanna do it too! But my suggies won't sit still especially not lying on their back



No choice lar, you need to give mealworms cuz it protein. Just mix and fruits won't work that much.

Give lar mealworms, within a week, you'll see the diff!





Check the list of fruits and remarks on the first page. Feeding watermelon and papaya, that is the result.

Try alternating with hard ones like apples and pears.

You give them watery and soft fruits, you'll get watery and soft poo.



Ubi keledek.

The one where the flesh is orange in color



Ditto, slurpee_slushee!

I boil them first, just gave it to them last nite, all gone I can even eat some Schweet!



10-15 mealworms a day... (or up to 20 a day like me )



Ceres.

Berri.

Marigold.

All 100% fruit juice, no added sugar or preservatives



Check the list of fruits and remarks on the first page as a guide.

If it's a little watery and when you feed other fruits it stops, thats fine. If it prolongs to 1 or 2 days even after switching, then it's a problem...

What they poo is what they eat, so watch their diet and things should be fine

Watermelon = Red Poo === Normal ley...

Sugar gliders are resilient creatures, they don't normally get sick easy if you watch their diet properly and follow the proper hygine care. So far the only trip I made to the vet is for neutering Iggy, not because any of them got sick or what...

However it is such a different case with some other animals, for instance my cat, getting good food, proper hygine and cleaning, grooming and bathing has been to the vet 3 times (almost every 2 weeks) twice because he's sick...

Waaa, headache ooo... My gliders lagi strong worrr


KP

Wow thanks it was very informative . Cant wait to get mine!!

i want my sg to lay on his back oso
only once or twice i get to scratch his tummy n neck.

Hun... I'm thinking of setting up a sugar glider fund... The main purpose is to help promote neutering... Can't think of any other reason, but I seriously wanna do something to help promote neutering and help curb excessive sugar glider breeding...

It's very hard to speak to Dr. Yeoh, but left a word and message to his assistant... She said he can't afford to offer special discounts as exotic pets meds are more costly and the surgery is more tedious on small animals... Every care and attention needs to be taken care of...

Anyway, she did say I am still free to discuss again with Dr. Yeoh IF I am able to catch him while he is not busy...

Sighhh... I dunno how else to help lar...


KP

It can last provided you keep in a cage than a container.... and you gotta feed the crickets veggie everyday.

I'll be back after Christmas

You only do that say once a week..... coz apple cider vinegar is acidic since.... it is vinegar hahaah....

If you feed watermelon, papaya, mango.... the poo would be very soft.... but it should never be watery all the time. Sometimes if poo solid first, then suddenly watery, means that is a forced poop, meaning the poop that comes out when the glider or any animal is scared....

Diarrhea is smelly, very watery, and the glider would be lethargic from dehydration.

Hmm.... it would be good if we can set up such a fund.... but then.... how much can we get from collection and who would be eligible to get some of the funds?

my SG are still very resisting of me
they wont let me touch except when they sleep. tomorrow no more night shift. can play with them

if we disturb them during the day, will it stress them?

I advocate this idea of setting up a suggies fund, it can be for any purpose for the suggies community, which is WE OURSELVES will benefit, as well as suggies.
If every suggies owner is willing to contribute RM 20 for example, that will amount to RM 100 when 5 or 6 contributed that amount.
But as far as involving the issue of money, there must be transparency, eg we need to know where the money has gone to and the balance of the fund. A financial statement/report is needed to inform the public, yearly, the least.
And whoever has a need can make an appeal to the committee to use the fund. And we also need to appoint a treasurer as well.
Another important thing is, we need to first seek the approval and registration with the authorised government organisation. We cannot have illegal fund raising.
What are the methods of collecting fund? And ways of $$ transfer.

Hmm... Neutering funds.... Kinda hard, as like you said, they are small animals. Dogs and cats are easier as they can take general anaesthesia. Now we're looking for another way to neuter gliders, needs time though.

Don't forget to feed the crickets a source of protein like cat/dog food (The good brands only please.) Or they will end up eating each other. The Innova Evo canned dog food is not bad, tried it before, the crickets loved them and so did my dogs.

Feed high calcium and vitamin c veggies too.

For the cat/dog food, is it the mushy meaty type, which usually are the canned ones, or the hard pellet/biscuit type?
I would like to try this. I wonder will the crickets eat the crushed and mixed with water cat/dog biscuit?
Which vege is high calcium? Do you mean vege mixed with calcium powder?
Can crushed vitamin C be sprinkled to their diet?

Don't forget to load up on the protein too.

Hehe. Will buy a fridge this week. Never has a need for fridges before. Now gotta need one since need to constantly supplies fresh veggies to my future glider. Not to mention I can also benefit from teh fridge. Hehe.

Luckily Jusco got discount on Haier fridge for christmas.
