Hahaha... same, my females do that sometimes.... but mostly normal odourless pee.
My dad won't let me get a bigger cage, so I'm thinking of modifying a connector to connect 2 cages together.... now thinking of a plan. |

QUOTE(kiki's maid @ Feb 17 2008, 11:56 PM) hi guyz...i'm new here..hello to eeeeeeeeeevryone..something bout me..i bought a female sugar glider for my own bday gift.. Hi and welcome. ..actually i've been watching for the suggie days before..  ..and after i bought,i named her kiki..no idea where that name came from,but i liked it..and yet already a week,she still bites me...  .. Bonding with a glider takes time. Some may need only a few days or a week, some may need a few weeks to a few months. So be patient with your Kiki. QUOTE(spel'it @ Feb 18 2008, 08:24 AM) I've gotten the pet's own lactose free milk. How many times a day we need to feed them with it eh? You can feed it as much as it can take. Lactose free is good, it won't harm your joey's health. You can start with 2ml in the morning and 2ml at night. Anyway, do not keep the milk for more than a week if you keep in the fridge.... what I suggest you to do is pour the milk into a ice cube tray and freeze it. Then everytime take 1 milk cube and feed. This can make the milk last longer.QUOTE(phoonwa @ Feb 18 2008, 01:51 PM) Hey guys i bought bird nest for my sg... Hmmm.... I find those nest being cruel nest..... coz the nest are normally stolen from the wild. It is not always empty coz I have found some for sale still with baby birds inside that are starving. 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.let u all hv a look    They spying the new bird nest...  QUOTE(phoonwa @ Feb 18 2008, 08:03 PM)     My friend's sugar glider dun know why the stomach area starting drop hair. Any one can help in this?  |

QUOTE(phoonwa @ Feb 18 2008, 09:41 PM) She just bought for few days. There is 1 more sg being take care by her with same cage but no problem. What? She put the gliders together? Never quarantine?Only this new comer got problem.  It can be stress... it can be diet.... it can be bacteria on the skin causing the glider to overgroom. |

QUOTE(silverwineus @ Feb 18 2008, 09:46 PM) What's a wire holder, how it is like? 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....Added on February 18, 2008, 9:54 pm 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..? Well, mange mites can affect any animal with fur and skin... even us.... Yups, a vet would be a safe option. QUOTE(jitshiong @ Feb 18 2008, 09:58 PM) Ermm,have u seen how the electrical technician hold a bundle of wires together with a plastic strap? Cable ties rite?U can get them in hardware shop. I dunno what is it called. Tell them u want something to hold wires together 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. |

QUOTE(silverwineus @ Feb 18 2008, 10:03 PM) Currently, i'm nursing a sick bird that i just picked up in front of my doorsteps today... Birds carry a few type of mites.... feather mites, fleas.... the feather mites are small like dust particles.And this birdy must be kept at least 5 feet away from my gliderers.. (gliderers?..hehe) Who knows they can transmit unwanted disease right? Yups, it is wise to keep your gliders far from it. Heheheh.... you used gliderers. I also keep birds, chickens and ducks, all are kept far apart from my gliders just to be on the safe side. What bird did you picked up? Sparrow? Bulbul? Added on February 18, 2008, 10:15 pm QUOTE(jitshiong @ Feb 18 2008, 10:09 PM) Yayaya! HAhaha... hard to explain. See what I can do first, once ok, I'll post a pick.cable ties! hehehe, if u r just gonna connect the small door then there's not different right? Its just like a big cage with 2 seperate compartment. Anyway, i dun really understand nor can i picture it ur way so just ignore me. This post has been edited by crazymouse_yyh: Feb 18 2008, 10:15 PM |

QUOTE(jitshiong @ Feb 18 2008, 10:16 PM) wah! LOL.... not easy to keep so many animals... one thing would be no money loh....So many animals! Ur house must look like a zoo! haha,wish i could keep so many pets QUOTE(silverwineus @ Feb 18 2008, 10:22 PM) 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.. Same, I treated my GPs with Ivermectin too.... for gliders I think it would be very risky by injection, so oral is safer.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? 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.. I'm not sure why, apparently my dad told me sea salt is better coz it is not iodized... much natural. My family now switching to using sea salt instead of table salt now too. QUOTE(White Palace @ Feb 18 2008, 10:24 PM) "Gliderers"? Meaning more than a pair of glider(s) should use "gliderers" instead of "gliders" ? No malu lah.... we come up with a lot of nicknames for our gliders... Err... Or i missed a joke here?  if yes, then sorry ya, malu lah ><Else, guide me a bit, thanks. And BTW jitshiong, YES, that's a zoo!  my zoo will never stop  |

Everyone busy I guess.... and I'm mostly online at night hahaha.
Ok, that's almost the same stuff in the article I read on soy being bad for gliders.... so that is good proof that we should be cautious with what we feed to our gliders. Anyway, I have found a few eucalyptus trees at a park.... I dunno what is the name of the park but I do know that it is always full with people and kites on good weekends.... Hmmm.... gotta ask my dad about it. Anyway, if I have found out the place, anyone wanna go and get some branches? The trees are not really in the park but by the roadside, so I think we won't get chased or anything if we get a few branches... |

QUOTE(kiki's maid @ Feb 20 2008, 03:37 AM) hye guys,one silly questions from the newbies here..do y'all bath your sugar glider????coz mine is bit smelly,because she always paste the leftover from the food inside the pouch...so she smells like apple busuk a bit la.. Oh, never bath a glider! It is risky and it can cause it to get sick if you do not use the correct bathing method.... Still, I won't advice people to bath their suggies, especially newbies coz it is a procedure that has to be done in less than 5 minutes, which means wetting, shampooing and drying done in 2 to 3 minutes. No hair dryer as it can burn a glider....You should not feed your glider when it is inside its pouch, that is to avoid it dirtying and also causing the pouch and glider to stink. To clean your glider, use baby wipes or a damp cloth. Then if it smells, use puppy or kitten pet powder that you can find at petshops. QUOTE(spel'it @ Feb 20 2008, 09:42 AM) Hello... pictures of cheekoo with his fur starts growing back.... Wow, great improvement! Really good. Hope to see a fluffy tail soon.[attachmentid=401276] [attachmentid=401277] [attachmentid=401278] [attachmentid=401279] compared with the one before...it is an improvement rite? [attachmentid=401282] About mealies that i said i'd give them...i meant for Koochee to eat it. Not that i dun want Cheekoo to eat it, but being a lil small, well u know la my perception. But the thing is, Koochee didnt even touch it. Cheekoo ate it like mad. He was eating a mealie when i put down another so that Koochee can take it, but then he grabbed it with his other hand. Hahaha...So comey n greedy lil fella... Added on February 20, 2008, 9:48 am So long had been since i wiped them. Afraid the new fur will disrupted again. So for the time being, i'd just bear with their smell. Luckily they dun smell that bad at all. Hehehe... QUOTE(krynzpeaches @ Feb 20 2008, 09:55 AM) Haha, that time they're already awake, already gave their entree, waiting to feed main course Oh, you also saw rite? Hahahah.... I wanna stop but my dad is not a patient man when driving, so I dare not ask him to pull over.Haha, yeah, I was around, but nothing interesting to post, so didn't do so  Haha, I know that park, I pass by it everytime going to Ikano Saw it quite a while dy, but that area always lots of people cuz of the kite play and park... Anyway, I've came across some nurseries selling eucalyptus tree actually. It was like 3-4 weeks ago when I was on my way to a cousins wedding in Denai Alam and had to pass by all the nurseries in Sg. Buloh... Not all the nursery there got, just have to look closely at the trees there lor... If you know how eucalyptus tree looks like, you'll be able to spot it I was so excited when I saw some, but I couldn't stop by because I was all dressed up for a wedding and my car was full with my whole family Dunno when am I able to go again cuz my husband is reluctant to go that area as he said it's very far... Unless any forumer here wanna go  KP Added on February 20, 2008, 9:58 am Looking good!  Yeah, can see improvement! I hope he'll be fluffy very soon! Go Cheekoo Go!   KP If go there at night, sure no one at the park flying kites lah, then easier to take the branches hahahah.... |

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....

Well, at least now she knows, and at least now can do treatment to solve the problem. Hope they become better.
Even with cloth, make sure always clean.... I use corncob and breeder's celect.... so far so good. |

QUOTE(spel'it @ Feb 21 2008, 08:28 AM) i use oats for their bedding. quite ok too. n they wud eat that as well. Dr jenny said, its gud because they contain amino acid (if im not mistaken). Yes, oats can help but then normally as a wet bath. Maybe same thing if use as bedding..... but many shampoos for sensitive skin or dry scalp has oat or wheat germ added.its not really meant for bedding la..i just put it under their playhouse. they got a pouch to sleep in actually. Added on February 21, 2008, 8:40 am Heheh...thanks Hun. We really hope he does. Added on February 21, 2008, 8:45 am Heheh...my poised joey, Koochee, wud stick to me like glue. She wud only go exploring when she see the coast is clear. Else, she wud be on me, only. But she is very friendly with ppl. But, Cheekoo is a different matter. He likes exploring and very active, and only come back to me when he's tired and sleepy already. He wud want to climb and sleep on me. Hehehe... And he's anti social, when with unfamilair ppl, he wud crab like mad. Heheheh.... QUOTE(krynzpeaches @ Feb 21 2008, 09:49 AM) Yeap, I know how the eucalyptus tree looks like by heart now Same, these days I also look at trees very often and I can identify eucalyptus too.Every time I see trees, I will search for any possible signs of eucalyptus  Haha, your dad like my husband lor, no patient when driving, he would definitely not stop at the park what with all those cars and people Aiyah, we go ramai-ramai glider owners to Sg. Buloh lah... Each of us can bring home 1 tree Hehe.I used to use Litter Star. Always have separator between the substrate and the gliders. Now I just use newspaper cuz of the size of my cage. If use Litter Star or any other substrate sure die to fill the whole tray Yeah, I always find my suggies fishing for the dropped fruits under the cage too Macam tak ada food lain wanna fish for the dropped ones KP LOL, yah, I think it would be a good idea to get a tree.... Litter Star absorbs smell very well...QUOTE(emino @ Feb 21 2008, 06:40 PM) Met with Hun today near my office to get Slurp supply. Hehe. Yah, next time lah. I was hoping to see Teddy today Had a really nice talk with Her about gliders! Hun, we should next time just go inside the McD next time! If i dont have any scheduled meeting like today of course! QUOTE(malowie @ Feb 21 2008, 10:19 PM) eucalyptus? u sure? Eucalyptus can grow here, but not in abundance and also not as tall and great as in Australia. There are a few trees in Lake Gardens, and also UPM..... UPM has quite a number of those trees around in certain part of their campus.even if we can find eucalyptus trees in malaysia, it wouldnt grow well.. most probably it would be like very thin, elongated... but nevertheless, it would be worth the try planting them...in australia, i remember the last time i was trekking through the woods, sap just cant stop oozing out of the eucalyptus trees... be it day or night... could it be taman tasik perdana? Added on February 21, 2008, 10:20 pm my goodness sincere and honest congrats to you!!! its so evident that he is improving loads!!!... keep it up! Added on February 21, 2008, 10:27 pm well, personally i wouldnt really like to bring the terrible two out at night lah.. omg man.. those two really damn fast at night.. i dont want to risk them getting lost... especially if i am standing next to a tall tree!!! lols.... you get the picture. meanwhile, those two fellas are wreaking havoc on my arms... the grip so hardly!!!!... my hands all got bintik2 merah and small slits...lols... i guess they still dont really think that im the 'tree' yet... lol.. but Bugs (my male) likes to nibble on my neck and chew my hair... quite annoying at times but i just remove him and hold him for a while.. my female is like super duper active after 10.. jumps up and down.. but morning onwards, she will slumber like a log! no matter how loud i talk, how vigorous i walk, shell be fast asleep lols... but Bugs always peeps out... makes me think that he wants to pee all the time but no... neways, tried smuggling em to school today... thank god they did not make a beep or *marah* from teachers... lol. waiting for the food to defrost b4 i feed them currently... |

Saturday or Sunday should be fine for me as well.
Hopefully it turns out well for us. It would be good for the glider community to gather and share and learn from each other, as well as educate those that have little to no proper info on gliders. |

QUOTE(cheekyd @ Feb 24 2008, 07:16 AM) guys how do i feed cherry tomato to my suggie? do i need to peel the skin or give the whole tomato to it ? Just wash, cut in half and serve. Easy stuff. Do limit to 1 cherry tomato a day and make sure no cherry vine or leaf coz that is poisonous.QUOTE(outsider @ Feb 24 2008, 09:33 AM) last night i saw a pair of sugar glider sell for rm430, is it consider a good price? Hmmm... adults? If adults, then is a bit high if untame ones. Adults are usually going for RM120 to RM150, although some places are offering adult males at RM60 to Rm100 each....  If it is a petshop, be aware, their stock are sometimes not healthy since they do not feed good food. I once went to a petshop, and he told me that gliders only eat Grapes and Kuaci.... Grapes can be toxic to gliders, kuaci is too high in fat and it can cause blockage or choking if the glider doesn't chew right. QUOTE(ayiesz @ Feb 24 2008, 06:20 PM) yesterday tried feeding them with honey. just a few lick then dunwant anymore Wahhh.... not raw honey! Only use Pure honey, which is what you usually find in supermarkets and organic shops coz it is pasturized, treated with the right temperature. Anyway, honey is not really good for gliders, licking treats are ok but a glider can get diarrhea if it takes too much honey. Also, some say it could lead to teeth problems.it's raw honey, bought from forumer here in garage sales QUOTE(emino @ Feb 24 2008, 08:17 PM) Recently Teddy lay low on eating his fruits. He would eat very little everyday compared to before. This happens since I feed him Hun's mix (about 1 1/2 spoon a day) which he finish till the last drop. Is this normal? LOL.... you feed the mix with fruits? That is normal loh.... you should feed the mix in the morning, then fruits at night.... if you feed both together, sure he will eat all the mix and won't wanna touch the fruits.Anyway, some new pictures of Teddy. (please ignore the power rangers pillowcase )   |

My mix, SLURP!... why I named it slurp coz it makes a glider go slurp slurp over it ahahah...  Will do as you advice! Hehe. Its all the mix fault for being so tasty and healthy he wont eat other food. Hehe~ Teddy memang suka SLURP! alot. QUOTE(outsider @ Feb 24 2008, 10:20 PM) it young if i not mistaken...cos very small.... healthy or not ah.......i dont know....... i wish to have a pair sugar glider but the price seem overbudget for me Think carefully when you wanna purchase.... also, gliders are not cheap, upkeep with the amount of fruits in long term.... is different from a hamster lah. But I hope you will get your pair once you have saved up your cash and also gain more knowledge through research. |

QUOTE(ayiesz @ Feb 24 2008, 10:51 PM) owhh really ka. i tot raw honey and pure honey is the same. shame on me Some people mixed that up. Raw honey is normally not treated and filtered as proper as the ones sold at super markets.... but honey is full of sugar that doesn't really benefit except gives loads of carbohydrates... as treats, just use the normal honey is ok. lucky they take a few licks only. same thing happen to me so i alternate either fresh fruits or mixed from hun. Good, alternating mix and fruits is good as well. But for me, I got no problem all my gliders finish all their fruits and mix at the same time. Put a large bowl of fruits and my SLURP! at night, then the next morning all gone.QUOTE(emino @ Feb 24 2008, 11:18 PM) More Teddy's pictures! Teddy has become cuter and cuter.  Isit safe to come out?  No, he has a cameraphone!  Bribery? I'll take it!  Need to find somewhere safe.  Heres a good place!  Eating while hiding! Hehe~  |

QUOTE(krynzpeaches @ Feb 24 2008, 11:52 PM) I've read thru the post, but kindda sleepy to reply all I was about to ask the same thing.... human grade means quality that is good enough for humans to eat.... if it is not human grade, that means it is pet quality, which means the ingredients used is not safe for humans at all. Tmrw have to get up early for work ooo... But just wanna say that I choose to give to give all my pets human grade food because human grade food detemines more quality and would be safer! Isn't the fruits you give your gliders human food? KP Also.... what extensive research? It took me months of trial and error, experimenting with different gliders to study what gliders like and what they do not, what benefits their health and what ingredient ratio is correct..... that is how Connie and I came up with SLURP!, not something I came up in a week and not something I would sell without testing it.
