Wahh, glider thread moving so fast...

Would love to be replying, but currently having a major headache.

Will reply as soon as I can.

Broken_string,

Holding your suggie gently in my prayer. You've done a good job all the way. Wishing him all the best and care in the world!


KP

Broken_string,

All have been said, top it off, i hope that there will be a miracle ..

thanks everybody
esp silverwineus for all links and pic

i am very exhausted so dint post any updates on him yet.
will do so once he is more stable and i have more time.

appreciate it

good to hear that broken_string.. hope your suggie will get well soon..

Woot, woot! Looks yummy to me

It's definitely a feast for them!





Sounds pretty much like the critters I have with me currently

So it's definitely real man!





Yes, the answers was meant for you

I was just concerned because you did not mention about it being temporary in your earlier post.

I hope it's not gonna last for a month or two.

Even for a burung Nuri, I can tell it's considerably small dear, I was supplied a similar cage when I first got my glider and I can tell it's not even comfortable by the way he was making that loop trip around and around the cage everyday. I do hope you take him/her out often from that small cage.





Nope, they don't need to be bathe.

If they start to stink, wiping with babywipes should be sufficient.

On extreme cases where bathing is required, do consult experienced people like Hun about it. But, on extreme cases only.



Can.

Water based not oil ones.

And not too often also, a once in a blue moon treat is great

Hang on, gotta go out for a while, will con't the rest of the answers shortly

Hey, you're welcome here anytime.

It's a never ending learning process...

So far I've brought my suggies to work from 8am to 7-9pm without a problem Yes, since they're nocturnal, they'll sleep through the day unless I wake them up for short playtimes, but all they wanna do is still sleep

They don't poo or pee during sleep time lar (I think I've answered this Q many times before...) Similar to humans where we don't actually poo or pee when we are asleep right (except if you have a really-really horrible dream of course ) But they will definitely poo or pee if you wake them up to play

So far, I have brought a single suggie to work, but the one left at home is never alone lah... I believe it is okay to bring only one along with you cuz they'll have you as company, but I've never left one alone at home

However, for bonding process, I think it is still fine to bring along one and leave one at a time as long as at the end of the day, they are re-united But, when they're bonded, just bring along both lah



You can change they're sleeping time, but since they are naturally nocturnal, it won't vary too much and it is still best to allow them to follow their own sleeping time

A female suggie has 4 nipples only



Monthly for a pair,

Mix = RM15.00
Fruits = RM20-40
Mealworms = RM4.00

If you are using a litter sand or sort, then add how many bags of it per month...

I used to use the Litter Star, 1 bag a month which is RM13.90

Then the supplements are calculated per year appx. RM110.00

Hope that helps



My cost above is based on the fruits are well kept in the fridge

So like one apple can last about 2-3 feedings


KP

*speechless*







You can cover the part you place their feeding station.

It is not wise to cover the whole cage as it will only cause the smell/air to be trapped inside and make it even worse...

The normal pee will have slight smell. Marking pee is the strongest. Poo will smell depending on what you feed them lor...

Haha, it's very hard to keep it smelling fresh and odorless lar...



Male and female suggies are equally good!

If the smell, marking or balding puts you off from getting a male suggie, then you do not fully understand the wonders of suggie!

To me, my male suggies "ROCK!"

Yeah, a variety of fruits does not mean feed a variety in a day. I feed them a variety of fruits daily, meaning today one type, tomorrow another type and so on, so forth



Hey, be strong!

You've done all your best and keeps on doing the best for him.

I wish him speedy recovery!

I understand how you feel, your first glider is always special, I have cried many-many times when my husband asked me to give up Iggy before... I cannot imagine life without him...

Somehow I believe he will recover from this pain... You just have to hang on a bit more okay...



Muahahahaha *evil laugh*




KP

Eh ..KP,

Dulu your spouse wanted you to give up Iggy and it made you cry, now you got 4.. tambah lagi,
your husband boleh ke? Takda marah ke?

Added on January 29, 2008, 1:52 pm3 or 4 years ago, the price per tonne was RM 1200, now it is RM 2000 per tonne, am i right? This is not favorable and has adverse impact on esp the construction industry..The reason for the price hike is i think because of supply and demand.

Wakaka, he seem to grew more understanding about my love and passion for suggies

How'd you imagine his reaction when I wanted to get the HUGE cage?

Ofcourse he flipped like 360�, but I managed to tie him down with some reasonable reasons

Now and then he still ask me, "Until when you wanna keep these suggies?"

Usually I'll just keep quiet, make myself busy and pretend I didn't listen...

But in my heart I answered "Until their last breath lor "


KP

silver

Very nice and understanding hubby???

Hehhh, not really without a good fight lor to get him to understand

Yeah, he call the cage a ZOO

Haha, I say until their last breath cuz I hope to be taking care of them until that, I don't wanna go first and leave them with no one to care for them like I do

I know I won't be able to add anymore suggies cuz I need to think about adding kids pulak


KP

maybe you can give to your kids after this ...(when they know about suggies la.. )
suggies offspring to your own offspring..
and the line will continue...and the suggies will be part of the family..

lol
That would be unique. 'Son, these gliders have been in the family for generations, now I will hand them to you to care for them according to fami.... *boy squeezes suggie* *Suggie starts to suffocate* No!!! Don't do that!'

KP, it's very encouraging to hear that you are enrolling yourself in a sugar glider course, fabulous..
One day, you may even compile all your experinces and put it down in a book, like a diary for personal reference or publishing...
Yeah, learning is not only life long, but like the ex- President of Singapore says, man needs some challenge in life to live..
I think i want to do that.. for all my pets. As i'm writing this, i'm actually compiling my pets medical info.

KP, do you have a journal about your suggies..
it's good the keep one because maybe later in the future, your journal maybe useful for other suggies owner...hohoho

One day maybe we will see her name in the newspaper for articles on Sugar Gliders.
