Hi and welcome.

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.

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.

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.

What has your friend been feeding? How are the living conditions? Please take a picture of the cage.

She just bought for few days. There is 1 more sg being take care by her with same cage but no problem.
Only this new comer got problem.

What? She put the gliders together? Never quarantine?

It can be stress... it can be diet.... it can be bacteria on the skin causing the glider to overgroom.

What's a wire holder, how it is like?

Added on February 18, 2008, 9:54 pmIs 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..?

Ermm,have u seen how the electrical technician hold a bundle of wires together with a plastic strap?
U can get them in hardware shop.
I dunno what is it called.
Tell them u want something to hold wires together

Currently, i'm nursing a sick bird that i just picked up in front of my doorsteps today...

And this birdy must be kept at least 5 feet away from my gliderers.. (gliderers?..hehe)

Who knows they can transmit unwanted disease right?

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....

Well, mange mites can affect any animal with fur and skin... even us....

Yups, a vet would be a safe option.

Cable ties rite?

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.

A plastic strap.. cable ties you mean..
Hai.. i'm thinking, is there alternative to cable ties to attach the wire mesh to my DIY cage..

Yayaya!
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.

Birds carry a few type of mites.... feather mites, fleas.... the feather mites are small like dust particles.

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?

wah!
So many animals!
Ur house must look like a zoo!
haha,wish i could keep so many pets

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..
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..
