Hydrocortisone cream/ointment can reduce inflammation. These rashes appear because their claws, the irritants in this case, trigger our immune system, release some substance to cause inflamed skin. But i don't know which drug store has this.
Your cat and iggy and luna quite playful yeah..

There are many types of ubat you can sapu, a pharmacist will be best to recommend you that.
But since prevention is better than cure, so i'm thinking of making sth like a sleeve and wear it on when i handle them.
Since inflammation is caused by widening of the blood vessel by the release of substance from our immune system, so logically, if we want the blood vessel to shrink, then we can try applying ice.
But i don't know it will work.
Beside of applying hydorcortisone cream, you can find out for cool compress. I don't know the white cream for eczema that can be obtained from clinical doctors will help, i use that very often for rashes as well, but i don't use that in this case.
Why not think of wearing sleeves or sth, then it might solve the problem.

Added on December 15, 2007, 9:36 am How come your female is thin? Is she not getting adequate food? How often you feed her and how much the portion?
If she has no appetitie to eat, hand feed her and see.
if she is voracious eater of mealworm, she can't be very thin.
Maybe she is still young?

I'm not sure whether my gliders put on weigh or not, but ironically, my mealworms are the ones who put on weight and have grown significantly after much gut loading.
They are now "fat" worms. haha

I SHOW MY TUMMY AND YOU SCRATCH IT..



When he was a baby, i started to train him every night to lie still for belly massaging.
And now, he will put up a lazy pose and the white tummy every night.

hi guys,

If your hands have allergy and itchiness, you can try this. Apply ice to the hand, the reason is when the skin surface is numb, than you will feel the itchiness lesser. I've tried it.
Well see if this works for you as well..

Sweet potatoes ..
Sweet for manis and potato is ubi.
So should be ubi manis then. Hope it's not wrong. Hello? Any Bahasa expert here?Hehe

For the insects and worms, i believe one day abu and ally will eat. It's just a matter of time I mean, how can they resist it?

Hi slurpee_slushee..
Hello,
This is a cream that you can use. Namanya Betnovate Cream. I regretted a bit, because didn't buy, haha..
You can get it here in local pharmacy, eg Caring Pharmacy.
This is the detail of this cream. It's similar to hydrocortisone in the sense that both are corticosteroid.
This medicine contains two active ingredients, betamethasone valerate and chlorocresol (a preservative).

Betnovate cream is one of a group of medicines called topical steroids.

"Topical" means they are put on the skin. Topical steroids reduce the redness and itchiness of certain skin problems.

Here are the details. How it can reduce rashes and so on..
Betamethasone is a type of medicine called a corticosteroid. Corticosteroids are medicines used for reducing inflammation. Inflammation of the skin happens due to the irritation of the skin, and is caused by the release of various substances that are important in the immune system. These substances cause blood vessels to widen, resulting in the irritated area becoming red, swollen, itchy and painful.

When betamethasone is applied to the skin it works by acting inside the skin cells to decrease the release of these inflammatory substances. This reduces swelling, redness and itch. Betamethasone is a potent corticosteroid that is applied to the skin to treat a wide variety of inflammatory skin diseases, such as eczema.

Nice day, slurpee_slushee...

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.

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?

Wow.. really sends a chill up my spine, friend..

This is a technical drawing of a water storage tank.
Hey, why is there a glider sneaking up there?



Nice day..

Vincent, so good to see Ah Pit again.
I just love to see Ah Pit picture. Pit really adorable.
Remember to post from time to time Ah Pit photo, because i will miss her lah.

Jamien, I believe you will find your anticipated SG to be an imtimate companion, like Ah Pit happily stoning there on the shoulder.
After many months of relationship building with my gliders, they have become intimate with me now.
When i let them out during play time, usually at my workstation at home, i will put on a sweater.
While i work on my PC, my glider will be roving in and out of my sweater. Sometimes will perch on my shoulder. And i will also hand feed them mealworm treats and stroke them as well. Usually and mostly, they will be hanging around close and not wander off. Wearing a sweater or garment with sleeves will prevent skin allergy.
But we must be extra careful not to accidentally sit or lean our back on them.

Wow, that's really a long journey, 12 hours!!
Where you put your cat? Just curious.
no holiday for me, meeting deadlines for all my drawings. Work and more work

Usually the trip is not that long right?
Maybe to avoid the flood, need to take the Pantai Timur route.

Even suggies may ingest cat food, there's no definite answer to giving it, but it must not be a sole diet. I think any food that are not meant for suggies is best to give sparingly.
There are claims that cat food or any other dry food, because lack of moisture, will cause renal failure/intestinal blockage. Hard prepackaged pellet can also cause lumpy jaw, infection of bacteria. This is well known fact.
These are exotics, which some may not understand and deal with it in a too casual manner.

Added on December 27, 2007, 10:34 pmJust recently, i heard that they are going to have a suggies gathering, but ur..maybe... not so soon.

I guess that it could be referring to 88 pets mart in SunwayMas Commercial Centre. Before i moved, i used to hang out there very frequently.
Yes, their suggies are sold RM 320 each. A few mths back, i was told that these suggies had been there for half a year, left unwanted.
Actually, when they first came, they were babies, i still remember seeing them clinging to one of the assistant shoulder.
Yes, it's a double storey shop and the ground floor department is mainly marine and fish.
and here is the location and tel.

88 petsmart Sdn Bhd
No.20 & 22, Jln PJU 1/3D,

Well done Iggy..
It's the best opportunity to escape but he remained where he was and ready to signal to you as well.

I think you will add extra care to double check before you leave after this incident.
It happened to my piggies on several occasions when i put them in the other cage.
But they didn't step out of the cage even after several hours before i realised.
They didn't escape because they DON'T WANT to escape, so comfortable here, why do i want to escape?

It seems that Iggy and Luna both have quite different personalities.
Are they in compatible age or have wide age gap?
How old are they now?

Hello to Ah Pit, so glad to see her again. hehe..
She is so chubby and cute, esp hanging like a spider girl... and nice tummy she got there. Cool.

Added on December 30, 2007, 11:18 pmWho knows the pronunciation for sugar glider in Bahasa?
I know tikus mondok is guinea pig but for SG?
Many times my friends asked me and i would thought for very long and finally managed to come up with what i thought best as tupai terbang.

Malowie,

Standing on my glider's viewpoint, i would say that they won't like tofu, unless it is honey tofu.
