Yes, it is eucalyptus

Eucalyptus does have a few types and the ones growing here is only one type, the tall and quite skinny one

The marvelous ones in Australia can easily be recognized by the oozing tree sap as well as the colorful tree bark. The ones here are not those type.

However, the type of eucalyptus we have here can grow easily and is used mainly for landscaping because of the wonderful dropping branches and leaves effect that sways harmoniously when the wind blows

I've spotted it at few places already, UPM, Tasik Perdana, the lake along MRR2 heading to Sg. Buloh where it's famous for flying kites, some nurseries in Sg. Buloh, the forest along some roads in Perak heading to East Coast and latest is at someones garden near where I stay



Cool!

I should've gotten this one... I need the wheels!

Mine is so big I can hardly move it



Can muat kete... It normally comes dismantled



You can check with JTL, I'm sure you can work out which cage you want

Yesterday cleaned up both Iggy and Luna a bit. Iggy didn't like water and was struggling like mad! He bit me at like 4-5 places and it all bled But I'm used to his attitude so much that I don't mind, he just have a way to express his dislike very clearly

After that, placed both of them in my shirt to keep them warm and also a way to pujuk Iggy He can easily be pujuk if I put him in my shirt

Not even 30 seconds in my shirt, Iggy and Luna started chatting... Suddenly there's small barks, chatting and hissing coming from my shirt... And I'm in the office! I was walking around with sounds coming out from my shirt... Dunno what lar both of them were talking, you bark, I bark, I hiss, you chat... Very funny and amusing to hear them so verbal...

Haha, so far all my suggies are quite verbal... Especially Iggy... He seems to always have something to say, even if it's something as soft as clicking

Have you talked to your suggies today?

Today not yet laa... Wake up late and late for work... Leave without even goodbye...

Haha, atleast goodbye is a must for me even if I have to scream from their doorway...

"Byeee Iggy! Byeee Everyone!"

Hehehe


KP

Its hard to scream goodbye when you lock the door while sikat rambut while eat breakfast (an apple curi from Teddy's stock) while fasten up your tie while trying to wear your shoe and then dash 100km/h....

I guess SG is not that popular yet in Malaysia, so the fact that it is all about business, there aren't many vet products / medicines being produced, what more imported into Malaysia. That's why it is difficult for vet to handle a sick SG.

Well, when you trying to wear your shoe, i guess you dont need your mouth? Say goodbye then!

Lol... I was doing all those things at the same time, with my mouth holding the apple. Anyway, will go home during the noon for friday prayers and can kacau Teddy tidur then!

Haha, that's serious multi tasking there... All-in-one!




KP

Late to work like that ler... Watching American Idol with Teddy till late last night ...

Was jump watching between 8TV and StarWorld, in the end American Idol tengok me tido pulak...


KP

haha... the contestants are awesome...

hey KP, the pouch, if i put it IN my kemeja T, wont the gliders suffocate?

or put inside a canvas bag?


thx...



also, ciku branches can be used for gliders ah? cuz i have a huge one but dont dare to put in the cage yet.

Speaking about eucaplyptus, there are a myriad of species of eucaplyptus..
What is the species most commonly found in this country, those at the roadside or park, and if anyone come across it, do snap a photo for us all..another thing is, do the encaplytus here have any sap? But it's not practical to be seen found stealing sap from the tree..

Added on February 22, 2008, 4:46 pmKP, i can weld a roller support bottom for you, all you need to do is to give me the measurent of your cage..
I can give you a sample of picture if you want.
But it's not FOC la..basic cost you need to be responsible.

Speaking about this, i have just done the partial welding on my cage, soon i'll post the update.

In t-shirt can, normally what you wear is breathable material.

Canvas bag NO.

Ciku branches I'm not sure, all I know is Hibiscus branches and Guava branches are safe if they have not been sprayed with pesticides before.



I'm not sure if the eucalyptus we have here is the type that produces the sap or not because they are those skinny tall ones not the fat stumpy with colorful bark one

Lemme look for a pix for you...

Ahh, can you quote me the basic cost first? Cuz I've scout around some "kayu" and rollers... Will cost me around RM40...

***GATHERING UPDATE!***

Okay, I know this has been long delayed again but now I'm trying to get things going jugak

Venue - We are looking at Pet Safari, Ikano. They have a room there that can be used. Last time a ferret talk was also held in the same place. I am writing the request letter to get the approval.

Date - Looking at 12(sat) or 19(Sat) or 20(Sun) APRIL, 2008... Lemme me know which date is best!

Time - Is 2pm - 5pm enough?

Rough outline - A gathering with current owner, future owner as well as interested public. Will discuss about the proper care, housing and diet. Q&A session. Will be giving out flyer and perhaps a goodie bag??? Will have a small display set up and selling some glider goods as well Ohh and gonna try and get the press to do coverage!

Appreciate some feedbacks/thoughts about it and also need some volunteers to help and mebbe chip in some money if we wanna do goodie bags...

This is the two frames for the sides of the cage, finally, i chose to use angle plate, reduces the work of drilling the holes for screws..
I think i'm only 60% satisfied with it, craftmanship is just average.. so-so..only.
It's 2.5' wide and 7.5' in height..
Still have a lot to do, only 10% done.

---

Added on February 22, 2008, 5:25 pmYeah, you can also DIY with wood and roller, that's a good idea, if you wanna me make one, then let me know, price would be RM 50 to 80.. maybe too expensive heh?

April gathering..

Sat or Sun is fine for me personally, what about you peeps?

Do let us know how much it cost for the ferret talk venue..and the outcome of approval..

This post has been edited by silverwineus: Feb 22 2008, 05:30 PM

Ooo, the side frame looks good

7.5 feet height? Thats freaking tall!

With my current tall cage pun, my suggies only make full use of the top half portion only...

Personally, I prefer either 19th or 20th...

Added on February 22, 2008, 5:31 pmOhh, there is no cost or fee to use the venue if we get the approval

That's why I'm writing the getting approval letter

Do let us know the outcome of approval and cost.. good work KP..

Added on February 22, 2008, 5:34 pmO..you have found out edi. Great! good work!

This post has been edited by silverwineus: Feb 22 2008, 05:34 PM

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.

Hopefully they approve lah.

I've also included some of the benefits that they can get if they allow us to do the gathering there

Summore tell them gonna get press coverage lagi

Lets hope they approve it!


KP

thanks.. i see. haiz.. i got the ciku branch from a friend who was gonna chop the huge tree down.. so yea..

gathering! good to hear that. if you would want to give out goddie bags, what would be in it? yes, flyers would be good.


hopefully they will!

wanna race with me? lols ~

10% and it's looking quite impressive already! That's going to be one behemoth cage. Angle plates is a good way to move forward, for sure.

Can't wait to see the complete project! Are you welding the parts together yourself?
