It is not advisable to bathe gliders as their fur is really-really water absorbent.

If bathing is needed, one must do it very-very quickly in less than 2-3 mins possible and dry them up very-very fast.

Drying method is also tedious as you cannot use a hairdryer on them because it can burn their sensitive ears.

So if you do not know how, best not to at all. There is a case where a glider actually drowned and died

You can always use baby wipes for minor wiping and cleaning.

hwahwa..tiru2 lols.. btw im going back to Perak this morning !! Omg 4AM ~ err..hope so lollypop already get up..aiya..long journey again ~

ei..cfp ur glider there botak havent heal..dint grow fur anymore?

Yo, wanna ask. How much does a Sugar Glider cost ah? Belly interested in getting one...

around rm250~rm300

Wah Lau, not cheap to have one... I thought it is somewhere around RM100.

thats old picture . now , reduced edi .. and the botak part is where male scent glent maa .. if he mask alot, sure botak teruk ..

u can get adult suggies much cheaper . but hard to bond .

Hmm, this creature are they belly fast? I'm just afraid if the window is open, they go and climb up the roof.

well . mine did a sprint when he was a joey .. running all over aureliux home area. luckly i can catch him.

Hyperactive pet, if hide at some small area, seriously going to take sometime...

No license needed but I wish there was coz too many people are simply keeping them without thinking of the glider's well being and also long lifespan.

gliders need constant socializing, lots of attention, special care on their diet and also a large cage. Do more research yah, coz research doesn't cost a sen, just some time.

Wet fur is caused by humidity, pee and also unclean living conditions. Poor things....

Iggy looks good lah. Means really successful neutering heheheh.

Joeys rarely bite till bleed unless you make them so afraid.

Bathing glider is not advisable.... whitening shampoo is a no no too coz it contains whitening agents which could cause harm. A glider's skin and fur are much more different than a dog. So never think that using those conditioner or shampoos for dogs.

Even if you want to bath one, the best is either use baby shampoo or mild diluted puppy shampoo. There is a quick technique to use and if you do not know how to bath a glider, it can lead to death...

I'm feeding my Ah Pit mix food already near 1 month, she like it very much and thank you all of you that have give me alot idea about mix food.

Today morning I do it a new mix food which is use jam and apple juice and other thing same as previous 1 but no honey. After i blend it, mix it and freeze it, i feel like too "Pekat" than previous 1, is it that i can mix little bit water in the mix food after i scoop it out ?

You can add some water.... but pekat or thick is ok.

I see, after i freeze it, i feel like harder than previous 1 ( quite like ice stone, not ice-cream, but it still can scoop it out like ice-cream ).

Just now i have add very very little bit water and it will become thick already. Hope Ah Pit like the new flavour.

Thank you crazymouse_yyh for the info

Hi All Bros,

Thank you all for the information.

I think I will get a pair to keep and play with them as they look cute. The breeder in JB told me is very easy to keep and he is selling at RM250 each.

Thanks again.

Still got pix, better than nothing

Do you use the auto flash?

I don't really like too, but if not using flash, will become very blur.

By now they are used to it already, whenever flash, they'll give me this big googly eye look like "oii"...



Adult male gliders will become botak if you do not neuter them. This is because they have a scent gland on their forehead which will cause the fur to drop off easily.

That is why you have to learn everything about gliders before getting them and love them as they are, with botak head, yellowish belly and sometimes smelly butt



Yes, gliders are not cheap because they are exotics not like hamsters.

I wish they could've cost more infact.

They can also live up to 10-15 years, so RM300 is nothing if you divide by 10 years lah.

Yes, they are very fast and must never be left roaming/exploring without supervision, unless you don't mind losing them.

Yes, they are active when they are awake and need lots of space to move around and glide. If they go missing or hiding, it will surely take you some time to find them and lotsa luck.



NEVER TRUST A BREEDER OR SELLER THAT SAYS KEEPING GLIDERS ARE EASY - PERIOD!

Please, please, please look up more and do proper research before getting them.

Do you have a sound understanding about gliders?

Do you have the time for them?

Do you have the patience to bond or train them?

Do you have the space for them? (Because they will need a big cage)

Are you able to prepare fresh foods for them late at night and early mornings? (This is their feeding time as they are nocturnal creatures)

Do you know their diet?

These are some of the things to ponder.

If you need to learn more or know about anything, please feel free to ask and we will try and help you the best we can.

yup .. if i turn off the flash , hard to get a good focus . shaky hands.. if use tripod sure cun la .. but chika and aiko pulak cannot sit still .. haih ..

Thanks for the belly wonderful info.

Wanna ask, do they need to take bath ah?

Do they pee/poo like pup/cat?

Can we use a soft chain to tie them around the neck? I don't know...

To get the cage + bottle + food, how muchie ah?
