is ok. but if u are getting it, get those with small small 'bowl' one, so it won't polutted with the poo and pee. hehe....
ooo.. crazymouse, thanks ya. but one more things that i not understand, isn't that glider in nature get honey is those raw honey? since no one cook for them?

.... but why the internet writer suggested not give them raw honey?
Aiyoh, they are known as sugar gliders mah, not honey gliders heheheh.... Anyway, KP already replied why. By nature, they cannot even eat honey in the wild. They got no protective skin, nor skill to open a bee hive and if a glider gets near a bee hive, sure die liao.
This is why no raw honey. Sugar gliders get their name coz they glide and they like the sugary sap from trees. They get the sugar from plants, not bees.

Trust me, as long as it is a bowl, it will get contaminated even tho it is small.
Try yourself and see, the next day, you will find the water clouded already. And you have to change the water everyday.
Everywhere also if you search will recommend water bottle over bowl, why do you still wanna use a bowl?
Where in the net or research that you find they feed on honey in the wild?
In the wild, they feed on tree saps and gums, fruits and insects, NO honey liao.
How the heck are suggies suppose to get the honey from the bee hive? They'll get stung by millions of bees and definitely won't survive dey.

what to reply ?
HAhaha.... sugar glider must gesek gigi? Glider is not a hamster. Reply that:
Sugar glider is a marsupial. They eat tree sap, fruits and insects. Dogfood is hard, can cause lumpy jaw and also kidney or liver failure if the food is the low quality kind.
Bird egg.... she wants us to panjat pokok and get telur gagak? Hahaha... sorry, I can't resist it when it says birds egg. It is true that in the wild they will eat bird eggs and even baby birds.... but tak akan we wanna give that rite? Hard Boiled Chicken egg lah.... telur puyoh is too high in fats and cholesterol for gliders.
You can tell the person she/he still need to research. Best is never give dogfood. If wanna give, get the super premium quality and soak with water or juice first.
Their gigi is not like hamster or tikus, so no need to sharpen their teeth lah.... if wanna gesek gigi, might as well say give batu LOL.

Just now i try feed water by using bottle, lucky Ah Pit still take some from there.

. Maybe is that watermelon alot of juice.
Oh yea, maybe i know what is the problem, last time i still feed dry cat food, maybe not so much water, that's why Ah Pit will go drink water from there. Nowadays i feed mix food & fruits only.

May i know guys when you let your suger glider come out, what will you do with them? Just feed food and touch touch them?
Everytime i let Ah Pit out ( morning or afternoon ) i just touch touch her in sleeping place and let her come out move abit. ( If too long time for coming out, she will jump here jump there. Quite hard make her coming back. ) At night i make Ah Pit come out and enjoy the mix food, after that wait her pee & poo and take her back. ( After eat the mix food, Ah Pit will stone there and pee or poo.) Just like hard to let her search around for long time.
A glider enjoys being out and jump here and there. That is their nature. You cannot stop them from being active mah. Letting our gliders play on our body and jump here and there is good exercise and also great socializing with them.
