Dont think he do that yet. I dunno how to detect whether he mark or not . Hehe
I feed him apples, mini tomatoes and carrots, and some honeydew.
And about 15 mealworms per day.

You mean cherry tomatoes and baby carrots? lol

Tried some Japanese Rock melon and Royal Mango, both were so sweet! Gliders polished the bowl by morning, but Miko doesn't seem to be putting on weight. Gave a little cashewnuts but she wouldn't take. Only Billie liked the cashewnuts.

Ppl must think I'm weird, smelling each fruit and getting sap on my nose. Hahaa... Actually, one way to see if the fruit will be sweet is to smell it. Fruits like melons and mangoes will smell quite fragrant. Out of most melons, only 1 I found smelled nice and out of a whole stack of mangoes, only managed to find 2 that smelled good. A little extra effort for sweeter fruits.

Tried to look for that yummy papaya KP posted, but couldn't find any.

usually for mangoes i'll keep them in fridge for few days before feeding them. most of the time i found they aren't ripe enough. they prefer softer fruits papayas is still no 1 in the rank but the poo a bit smelly

I find that their pee don't normally smell.

Hamster pee is way different and worst.

Only their marking pee smells.

There's a difference between normal pee and marking pee.

The marking does smell and can stink like burning paper...



Yeah, normally it doesn't smell.



The Golden Papaya doesn't make their poo smelly

Cool huh!


KP

Actually, all 3 of my gliders' pee, all really stink. And they're females.

I cant wait for u at Hand n paws coz got an interview to catch.
Anyway...thank u so so much...

Yeah Dr Jenny was very helpful. Heheh....
Anyway, can sumone tell me whether soybean oil is safe for gliders?
Bcoz Jenny had given me a shringe of sum nutrien supplement for puppies. N it contains soy oil. Afraid to give to Cheekoo yet until get sum confirmation from sumone that soy bean oil is ok.
Jenny herself not so sure, thats y she ask me to check 1st n just give me a shringe of the supplement. She said bcoz this contains only the oil, not the protein...So? Anyone?

Reanne,

Last month bought that papaya at a fruit booth in Plaza Alam Sentral and yes they still got it there.
The booth is in Plaza Alam Sentral right in front of Kenny Rogers, can't miss it..

hehe, thanks.
Got it

My gliders are like balloons! The way they eat.... till belly become bloated. I'm surprised that my gliders can finish all their fruits and still want to eat more hahahah. Now 4 gliders (3 are mine and 1 is boarding) are fat chubby monsters.

Anyway, take advantage of local fruits.... jambu and jambu air is full of calcium. Ciku and mangoes are well loved, same as rambutan, papaya and sugar apples....

Kapi is just plain greedy. In her left paw was a piece of honey dew, and her right paw a piece of ciku. She took 1 bite of the honey dew, then another bite of ciku, and she kept alternating her left and right paw. Sigh, so cute. Kiah prefers to munch on ciku and sun melon.

If you guys can afford RM5, just go to Cold Storage and find imported yogurt. I think gliders would love it since it is full fat and full of flavours. Full fat yogurt is much better than low fat.

About the pee thing..... gliders do have 2 types of pee.... but with 1 glider, I don't think much marking is done. Teddy has not started marking yet..... his bald spot still not prominent yet. I've seen gliders mark their owners too, the males do it in such a cute way hhahah.

Added on February 17, 2008, 9:11 pmSoy oil should be fine.... I just stay away from the soy protein, coz there was an article on soy protein being bad for gliders. Somehow the article is missing from the website, it was also on lima beans and avocado.

crazymouse_yyh, ur inbox is full...

I remember before Iggy was neutered he used to mark other people when he hops onto them. One time he jumped onto one of my male colleague and I was quickly about to pick him up and my colleague said never mind he's cute when Iggy mark peed on him

He was like, "What the..."

Then he said never mind he'll go wash it... But unfortunately mark pee cannot just wash a bit on one spot, best is to wash the whole baju! After a few mins he was complaining about the smell and cannot tahan it that he had to change his shirt...

Lucky he just went shopping during lunch time and wore the new shirt he bought immediately...


KP

Hehe... You makes me scared lor... Better go and neuter Teddy fast la gini...

Hehe, the male marking is really really smelly.
