where can i get ur slurp mix

one question... do u need to feed the crickets first before you feed them to the gliders???

crix wont last long. 1 week only before they start to stink or die

when u coming back? after xmas?

if i mix a little bit of apple cider vinegar with their drinking water is it okay??
some sites that ive read said that it is actually good because it boost the gliders immune system..
think its alright?

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...

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

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?

Hmm..smells good, picnic alone, can i chip in?

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.

T.T I have hamsters at home... Now I'm scared to have a sugar glider... It looks like s pack of wolves tearing up human carcass... Are pinkies good for them?

How much does SG usually cost ? Got a pet shop offer me rm200 for a pair of adult, wondering whether to get them o not

How long does taming process take? Coz the SG make some weird noise when i go near it

The pet shop owner seem like not really and don't care to knowhow to take care of them, they are being kept like hamster and the cage was dirty with some remaining foods-banana

Thats y i have the thought of getting them - to provide them with a better home at least

_ayiesz
he was ok.
i'll stroke him most of d time n let him out. 
he's still a joey. n he doesn't jump around dat much. unlike slushee, my female joey. i'll never bring her out bcus she tends to startle a lot. n crabs a lot too.

_hackerzx
cute + funny!!

how do i teach them to eat mealworm? they just stare at the mealworm
i even cut the head and feed it in front of them

got bitten also coz kacau them sleeping

I saw a pair of wild gliders awake at the Jusco Home centre. One man was poking his finger at the glider, thinking it was cute and would probably lick his finger. Instead, it started crabbing loudly and took a bite on the man's fingernail. O_O Scary lil things. The sugar gliders must feel crabby from the glaring light and lack of nutrition.

hun,kp .. got joey or not ar ? someone at homeapet looking for one . can buat questionaire la to her ..

ade club ke kat cni ek 4 the glider

Guys...

this are my 2 cute lil gliders

i gave them waterchestnuts, n so far, it's their most fav food yet.
yesterday i gave them blueberries, but d berries are small. got pits in it sumore. do i have to remove d pits 1st? n do i have to peel of it's skin 1st before feeding it to them?

any suggie owner or breeder in penang?

happy new year to all!! yo yo yo!!!!!!!!!!

uhhu.... the 'bump' grow bigger edi and seems like the whole pouch is 'bump' now. haha.... i think she really is pregnant... and the baby(es) inside the pouch...... saw one day that she cleaning her pouch... huh.... dunno how many baby(es) she having... haha.... can't wait to see the baby to come out. haha.........
(but is really weird that the male don't have any smell at all). and it seems that the male is a bit 'silence' this few days. he don't even dare to fight for food with fatty. he even will go to other place when fatty is sleeping in the coconut shell... haha.....

SG loves wheel so much
wodent wheel is the safest for them. but a bit expensive. u can order from KP.
i think normal wheel also can use, but the placing is important. need to make sure they didnt get thrown out from the wheel accidentally.



here's how i place mine. notice at the back of the wheel he got some place to cling when the wheel is spinning too fast (not sure if they purposely do that). need to get another one, they sometimes berebut to play

Haha, I can do that too! And I can do that with my nose too!

I love giving them a nose rub

Only one time Iggy managed to nip my nose
Look closely, you will see something different and use that to differentiate them...

I can tell all my suggies apart now
Give me RM300 and I'll give you one.
Yes, she is still young and has not learn how to control or poo and pee properly.

Suggies sleep most of the time during the day unless you wake them up. During sleeping they don't normally poo or pee. I bring mine out whole day too and never had any problem.

Yes, they will poo and pee wherever they like including on you. You cannot control this.

I bring mine to work on alternate days. They never disturb me or make any noise, I am the one always disturbing them... A well bonded and tamed suggie will not cause you any trouble if you bring them out in the pouch even for a whole day.
Happy New Year to you too!

She's not pregnant anymore lah, she already has the joeys IP (In Pouch)

When she is up to 5-6 weeks, you can tell roughly how many joey/s are in the pouch by the shape of her pouch.

If the bump is loop sided to one side only, meaning it's only 1 joey. If the bump is balance on both sides and looks like a walnut shape, meaning there's 2 joeys.

The male will know when he has joeys coming. He will be more caring towards the family and usually musk to protect it's territory.

-----

Was at Pet Safari yesterday.

The joeys there is a heartbreak to look at.

I was minding my business and wanted to leave as soon as possible because I cannot tahan being there longer and not able to do anything...

As I was about to leave, there was a group of people asking the staff at the counter "What is that?" and pointing to the 2 huddled joeys in the glass tank on the counter...

To my surprise, I heard the staff explaining, "Ohh, that is a sugar glider, some sort of squirrel mix with flying fox mix with rodent..."

I was like WTF!!!

Then one of the girl asked again, "Can they stay in air-cond?"

Then the staff answered, "Can, but they need this heating/basking light..." While pointing to the huge basking light on top of the glass tank...

Arghhh, WTF!!!

I chirped in, "Hello, that's wrong lah..." But my voice got drowned by the noise and no one heard me...

Feeling so frustrated, I left hurriedly...

But that totally killed my mood to shop or walk around anymore... I left for home... But all the way back I can't help kicking myself for not really standing up for those poor suggies... I should have voiced out loudly, I should have corrected the staff and told the people the right thing, I should have done something.....

I felt really bad...

I vow to atleast say something loudly the next time I hear/see something wrong...

I would like to encourage all the suggie lovers to do the same too! Say something, voice it out loud... We must do something to create awareness with hope that it will make a little difference to those poor suggies!

KP

Yeah! I totally cannot accept when the staff said sugar glider needs the heat/basking light...

What they think suggies a mix of reptile too???

Stupid people!

Common sense that all big eyes animals are nocturnal and bright lights are a definite NO-NO...

I should have kicked that guy hard on the shin!!!



KP

i tink my college dun hav d rules n regulations book lo...
cz my college is really small compared to tarc or utar...
and mostly wat v cant do is pasted all over dy...n there is no 'no pets allowed' sign..

oh...thx for d info...
i would really like to bring my dydy to class cz thn i got more time v her ...most of d time i stay in college to study...
so if i leave her at home i would only be able to play v her during d evening n nite..
wat does snuggies do during d nite when v sleep ar?? should i buy some toys to keep them occupied??
if need,can i know where to get them??

i study in utar, but still i bring my suggie to school. haha.... just don't bring dog and cat lah... suggie is pocket pet, so no one notice.... haha..... mmm... i think she got 2 babies in the pouch since it is same big in right and left.

jinhoe

try find a guy name SAM in adpost...he sells good n healthy suggies...

i bought my female suggie from him..

KP

why not we do a letter, which all of us support on what the letter is saying

and with few back ups from a few vet/doc..and from a government punya

side ka...then send letters to pet stores who doesnt actually treat suggies

well...like to just to scare them or something...hmm...

Yes, I kindda feel the same way too when I was looking at some poorly conditioned adults at the fish shop near my house...

Pity but not much feeling cuz I know the shop owner doesn't give a sh*t...
Be aware of Adpost sellers, some do sell under aged joeys and use other pixs to sell joeys which is not the actual pix of the joey.

Quite a number of them are just selling for the mooney...
Err, finger wrestling is something like you use your finger to wrestle with them

Haha, Hun invented it, so she know better how to explain

Oh, my babies are all sleeping beauties during the day... But they have one big monster always breaking their slumber
Arghhh! Do be careful.

Find a way to cover the hole so that your suggie won't be able to escape again... If escape never come back how?

Be careful...
Owning a glider needs a LOT of research. Not even as close to keeping a cat.

Needs extreme attention, time and care.

Getting a glider as present is a really bad idea unless you know the person already has one or is REALL-REALLY prepared and up to keeping one.

Giving a glider as a present is NOT like giving a hamster as a present but more like giving a human baby! They need a lot of attention and care, and if the person you give to is not prepared for that, all you are doing is giving the glider a stressful and bleak life!

Think carefully.

(If you need me to explain to you in other language, do let me know and I will try my best to help you.)
Err, it doesn't have to be jersey right?

I've never used/wear a jersey, just any plain "busuk" shirt and I let them wonder in out freely
They're testing you, sedap ke tak untuk dimakan

Some will stay stoned on your body, some will explore here and there. Personally, I prefer them to explore here and there so that I know they are still on me
SAM... Why does he sound familiar...

A letter with back up support is a good idea, but I think it must also be accompanied by a good lecture face to face with someone superior or in front of the crowd...

I think if the public know what they are doing is wrong, that could change them/make them do something...


KP

Oh yes, that is soooo true!

But to make it more realistic, lemme amend some parts

When you give a glider to another person, you are saying to that person "Here you go, from now on you will watch less TV and spend more time with the suggies, you will set apart allocations for buying a spacious accommodation for them, allowance for food, worms, insects and dietary supplement. You will clean and wipe their cage, prepare food and water... You have to keep an eye on them for their safety, you will have to spend time accumulating whatever knowledge about health issues and veterinary treatment if possibly when they get sick. If you are planning for vacation, you will need to plan for their babysitter/custody etc. if you plan to leave them. You will have to do all this not for a year but for as far as they can live up to 10 years."

There, that sounds nicer don't you think

*snickering*


KP

ps : sorry, can't seem to find the right color expression

I'm not sure about the letter cuz it would be hard to get back-ups from vets especially.

But, I would wanna give them a piece of my mind the next time I am there. I am even prepared if they wanna scold me who am I to teach them...

Ohh, if you were to see for yourself the tiny joeys and the condition they are kept in with those huge basking lights, I think you would feel the same way I feel...


KP

actually I know some of the workers at PS. Not really personally lar, but PS is the place I used to hang out a lot in. Many of the workers think they're terror cuz they can handle the animal and pretend to be smart eventhough they know nothing about the animal.

1 worker told me he gets bitten often by snakes. I heard that if u handle a snake correctly you would hardly get bitten. =.=" I was a bit speechless when I heard that.

I just spoke to the manager of Tobypet just now as i'm the type that don't like to wait for tomorrow to get things done.
I told him about the lighting. He said that the light they use is the normal light. It's not heating lamp, he said that it's placed at 2 1/2 feet high.
Secondly, he said that the joeys from the breeders are weaned, able to take solid food.
Then i told him that their eyes are not opened, and he said that they don't want to suffer the loss of income either by getting unweaned joeys.

I'm sorry, i'm not able to change the circumstances.  

  how can they do such a thing to those snuggies??!!!!!

idiot fella!!! snuggies sleeping y put the light so close la!!!no brains ar??!! 

cant they c tat they are too young to leave their mummy??!!!kononnya pet lover!!!wat sh*t la!!!

like i always said .. we cant do nothing .. they only want business which converts to MONEY ..we are talking about a big big company here..

make online petition ?
