Yes, mealworms and cricket provide them with protein, but make sure to gutload it a little, the mealworms and crickets sold here are not enough healthy.

Can feed them everyday too in little amount.

I hope you don't mind, but please get a bigger cage for your suggie. The hamster cage shown in the GS is wayyyyy too small for suggies even tho the joey looks small.

Big cage is very important to keep suggies.

Do spend some time reading the first page as well as some discussion done here in this forum. There are plenty of useful infos for newbies.

Keeping glider is not a short term commitment, it's a long term commitment.

Selling is easy, but keeping them needs a lot more commitment.

i am thinking of getting a suggie cause they fit my lifestyle..work at night (in front of pc) and sleep at the day..huhu.. but the thing is.. im allergic to mealworms.. just cant stand them..fobia to worms since i was a kid..

can i give th crickets only? what do you mean by gut loading them? cut them into half? take the juices inside right?

the cricket u need to put in those case with good ventilation one, those mesh wire cage with both side and top is mesh wire, so more open air, more ventilated. those cage can get from fish shop, or u can modify yourself.
i do breed on cricket for my pets (not sg coz currently dun have), now quite good, got lots pinhead... if i not mistaken reanne also got breed on it... now do business also... haha...

gutload = u feed them high vit high calcium high in everything..lol,givving them dog kibbles issit ok for those creepy crawlers?

sifu sifu wanna ask..getting suggie at 2month+ oop better or 4~5month oop?will those extra month make huge impact on bonding?

Make sure get from a reputable seller, not from a mill/supplier as they usually sell too young or unhealthy.

Nope, I don't breed.

i was thinking of getting it from crazymouse or maybe someone reputable...and right now getting prepared to get one.. buying/building a house for the suggie.. getting bonding pouch.. asking for permission from my mates.. all those stuffs...

KP,

i hope they fine..if not..

i think they sale rm 12 for criket cage...

Cannn... They say crickets are better than mealworms actually just that it's harder to keep...

Aiyorrr, for gut loading, refer to first page or prev pages, has been discussed so many times...

Cut into half and take out the juices is "gutting" or "siang" not gut loading



As long as it is positively 2 months OUT OF POUCH NOT 2 months FROM BIRTH is fine.

If the 4-5 months OOP is already hand tamed not wild ones, it should be fine too.

But bear in mind, most seller can tell you any age they like unless they keep records of their birth and OOP dates. Like what they are doing in the pet shops...

Cross check with the pixs we've shown here to roughly determine the age.

I'll upload some other more in a while



Thanks!

I think it is much more worth it than the ones you surveyed last time if you can remember

I bought it at Pet Safari lor... The cages there are good and have lotsa options, just the pets are not...

It's RM250, you'll get a 10% disc if you're a member tho'

what company buat that thing..rm30

Nyehehehe, when they have a name, I'll introduce 'em


KP

sorry for my bad english or my question.. i couldnt understand the term and i had read through about half of the thread.. thks for your answer and sorry if i trouble you in any way..

gut loading means feeding good and nutritious stuff to the mealworm first before feeding ur gliders so that the glider will benefits and get the nutrient from the mealworm.

No worries lah.

If you've been here long enough, you'll understand most of the people's style here including me.

Need explanation in BM can ask me, chinese mebbe crazymouse, reanne or broken_string can help

KP,
Now got 4 sugar gliders already? Is it 2 in the pouch?

Yeap, 4!

All big already

All 4 we're in the pouch when the pix was taken


KP

Just thought some of you may like to know that metal prices have have gone up around the world, so all cages have gone up in price. (gone up rather drastically and suddenly actually)

Really??

Even old/currently available stocks??


KP

If currently available in pet shops, I dunno they give the old price or not la. But definitely, all new stock is new price. Was announced yesterday

I see...

Do you know by any chance appx. how many per cent?

Nasib baik I bought my "big" cage dy
