Got the images of the gliders running all over.. played that out in your mind over and over..?
And in the picture, you try to catch them, and finally "i gotcha ya", and then it slip off your fingers again like the ikan belut, and you got to start the hide and seek all over again..

Haha..

I'd suggest go for the angle plate too! Easier to get your measurements correct and joints will be neater. Also think of a way to collect all the pee and poo at the bottom. A sliding tray, i.e. those used in normal pet cages would be an ideal design to work on.

Good luck with your project and keep us posted silverwineus! wink.gif

Thanks for your encouragement..

OK, i will try to modify the drawing using the angle plate once i find time to do so and let me know will that be better,OK?

spel'it and rafiqos,
Appreciate your helpful suggestion..


Added on February 9, 2008, 5:15 pmemino, your new avatar is very nice..i like it very much..


Added on February 9, 2008, 5:16 pmWell, just came back from a long journey, i miss my pets as well as this forum..

spel'it,

Despite everything, i do agree with you that cheekoo has baldness on its body..
Do you or anybody knows what kind of underlying symptom this is? Is there a cure?
Anyway, CheeKoo and KooChee look bigger now as compared the pix some time ago, when you first bought them.
You are doing a good job, spel'it.

I'm totally speechless!

I know there's nothing I can do about this except that I pray to god to help this poor glider through his suffering and may it end very soon..... sad.gif

I do hope this story/case will open up some eyes in here about why we are too passionate about glider care and welfare... We are not mean, not rude, not trying to act like we know, but just trying our very best because we care too deeply for these little creatures...

It's breaking my heart terribly and I'm holding my tears away...

Boiled prawns? It's not in their natural diet but you can give it a try if you like. Ttry to keep it as treats though as we do not know the outcome if given long term.

Bought some organic baby food for the gliders today. 2 with Turkey and one butternut squash. Billie ate some of the Turkey Dinner, but not much.

Hahaha, suggies eating seafood!! I though only us eat that..
.......

Organic baby food with turkey and butternut squash, very uncommon and interesting to me yeah..

You mean the turkey is mixed with organic plants? Butternut is what actually, butter and nuts? hmm.gif hmm.gif

Billie is sure glad with Turkey Dinner.. laugh.gif

Reanne, i know blueberries is good for gliders. Where can you get it and how does it look like here locally?
Reanne, if not mistaken, wheat bran/oat is use as bedding for mealworms right? To preserve the mealies or as a food source for the mealies?
Will this bran-oat bedding be like a magnet that draws for eg ants insects..if expose?

spel'it and rafiqos,

Finally, i have decided on hollow section 1 inch square bar and drill two holes there, fasten with screws, replacing the previous flat plate and bracket. Angle plate is not suited with this in consideration for tying cable ties..you know anything that can replace cable ties? Not satisfactory with cable ties. Aluminium plate or sth like that? I want to check out this aluminium plate soon..

well, here's a layout of the section ..

Do you think this is more improved and straightforward than the previous one?

You can find blueberries in almost any super or hyper market, but the ones I bought were from Carrefour in Midvalley. They're in the chilled area near the bread and buns. They look like deep dark blueberries in a flat square plastic container with a green tape wrapped round it. Decided to buy because they all did not have any signs of fungus or mold growing, which means they're not old stock and they were plumpish and juicy looking.

It's bedding and food source for the mealies. Anything you put in the mealie tank will be eaten, so when they say bedding for mealies, also means food. No, it will not draw any insects unless the mealworms themselves die.
*
Thanks for the information Reanne..
Midvalley is quite convenient, look forward to get some blueberries smile.gif
Are the blueberries lasting? Usually and appox how long?

You can keep them for up to a month or 2 if you store in the freezer. Berries such as raspberries, blueberries, cherries, strawberries and cranberries store very well in freezers. You should try making a berry treat for them. Get a couple of each berry, blend till smooth with yogurt and some powdered baby cereal, when thick like milkshake consistency, freeze it in an ice-cube tray. Your gliders will love it.

You can find these not only at Carrefour but Cold Storage, Jusco and also the fruit stall at KL Sentral and the stall at Avenue K.

So many varieties of berries, cherries..i thought these can only be found at the far side..
It's good to know these different types of berries..
Yeah, should try make berry treats for my glidies one of these fine days..and start for berries look-out.
Hun, thanks for showing some simple method of making one!

It can be stress... it can be diet.... it can be bacteria on the skin causing the glider to overgroom.

Is there any anti bacteria product safe for gliders.. i think most unlikely isn't it?
Should consult a vet in this case?

can a glider be infested with mites..?

Hi and welcome.

Anyway, to be safe, do not give such bird nest coz it is from the wild, means it could be carrying avian mites.... could harm a glider.

Currently, i'm nursing a sick bird that i just picked up in front of my doorsteps today...

And this birdy must be kept at least 5 feet away from my gliderers.. (gliderers?..hehe)

Who knows they can transmit unwanted disease right?

Well, so far nothing is here that is safe.... a saline wash of sea salt mixed with water could help a bit..... or we can use anti-bacterial baby wipes....

Well, mange mites can affect any animal with fur and skin... even us....

Yups, a vet would be a safe option.
I treat my guinea with Ivermectin for mange mite.. but of course, i ain't going to experiment my gliders as guinea pigs right? Haha..
Yeah, why didn't i think of such brilliant conventional way of using saline and salt? Why can't i use cooking salt but sea salt instead, any particular reason?


QUOTE(crazymouse_yyh @ Feb 18 2008, 10:04 PM)

Cable ties rite?

Your idea would work for me if my cages were not the RM100 cages with the pointy roof.... it is hard to combine like that.... was thinking to make a connector using wire mesh, then use cable ties to secure the connector. I'll be connecting 1 small door to another small door. I'm still thinking if it would work or not.
*
Wow..
I can't imagine how you going to make wire mesh as connector, is it making loops?
If you observe the standard cage sold in pet shops, some they use thin plates as connector, bended to a cylinder shape..
you don't need to used aluminium or steel plate, you can think of some thing similar to that..
When it pops to my mind, i'll let you know..

Speaking about eucaplyptus, there are a myriad of species of eucaplyptus..
What is the species most commonly found in this country, those at the roadside or park, and if anyone come across it, do snap a photo for us all..another thing is, do the encaplytus here have any sap? But it's not practical to be seen found stealing sap from the tree..

Your friend uses woodshavings? Without a separator? Gliders do not need any bedding.... only a substrate like newspaper or breeder's celect as it is clean and no allergies. But there must always be a divider mesh that separates the substrate from the glider....

This is the two frames for the sides of the cage, finally, i chose to use angle plate, reduces the work of drilling the holes for screws..
I think i'm only 60% satisfied with it, craftmanship is just average.. so-so..only.
It's 2.5' wide and 7.5' in height..
Still have a lot to do, only 10% done.

rafiqos, spel'it,

I'm not completely satisfied with the side frame even though practically it works, but the design seems not nice to me and the welding can be improved. One major problem is that i didn't use the water level measurement tool!! So that's why one part seems a bit out.
I going to start all over again and hopefully it will be the excellent dream cage. Much need to do then.

Later i'll post up the new design for you guys and see if it's a better design yeah?
