Love the stuff on the first page Hun! Those are very good guidelines to observe for fresh glider owners.

How do u plan to kidnap them cfp?

i wish tht pet safari ikano realize what they're doing
it's totally killing those gliders softly~
duuush ~@@~

dunno .. lets make a secret mission to kidnap them .. eh wait . this is a international forum right ? die laa . everyone knows edi ..

haha .. they know but they dont care . what they care is SALES = MONEY = PROFITS

Cepat pergi, I dig a hole for you to hide later hahaha... or do you prefer a tree?

Alot of people do not know the 1st thing about gliders, so putting info in the front page is good. If you got any infor to share, just let me know, will post up in the 1st page for you

They must know but pushing their brains aside just coz wanna make sales.

Man, they is real don't know or didn't boder & care then I' not sure, they have a pc at there with online 1, why don't call them check out this forum what

like they care about those pets.. they just wanna sales ..that is the point of making a pet store . sell stuff ..

Hi everyone, seem's like nothing has changed since I last read the threads. KP - sorry to hear that iggy is now a ITTy although some males up here are very doubtfull !!!.
Went to Taronga zoo's nocturnal house whilst on hol's & although they dont have SG's they have Squirrel gliders ( they were hiding), yellow bellied glider & feather tailed gliders. If one thinks SG's are cute should see the FT's. These have adhesive pads like gecks & SG's seem very clumsy alongside them

ya..finally back again to KL huhu~ sian sg travel lg ahah..btw coldfusionpower did u using pipe? macam pipe saja nampak huhu...small pipe? wht size? wanna make new cage again..using wood not suitable la~ diff to clean it

Wow.... last time I went to Taronga zoo, I fainted and rested somewhere while my family went about the zoo... sigh... so I missed out alot but back then I was only 11 heheheh.

feathered tailed gliders?


Is it this? Where's the feather tail? Heheheh....

Yah, he guna pipe PVC...

what da size aa hun? jarang jumpe yg small pipe..btw Just Juice smell different from marigold..prefer the marigold huhu ~

Hahah... dunno the size, this on CFP must tell you.

Every brand of juice sure smell and taste different.... but I like Ceres but a bit expensive hahaha...

Sorry to hear that you fainted. Things have certainly changed since you visited the zoo although the nocturnal hse could have been there. I think the photo is a FT although it is a bad photo. The "feather tail" comes from the "fur" or "quill's" for want of a better word that is on the sides of the tail. The tail looks like a feather with a mid rib (normal tail) with "quills" on either side. The zoo had 2 enclosers one with about 10plus & the other which seemed to only a few. I ended up buying a book on Australian Mammals which has a history of all known !! Aust.mammals including ones that have become extinct which unfortunately is a few. There are either coloured photo's or in cases of extinct species a drawing. I had an early edition but could not find it so I bought a later edition ( 2000 ) which includes a coloured photo of the rare mahogany glider from Qld Cost of the book was AUD$85.
Hope your back gets better - I wont ask what happened as I got into trouble once asking how a girl got her sore back !!!!!

Hahah... my back is better now, thanks I sprained it while feeding my pets coz I got a whole lot of rodents, and they eat about 2kg of food a day.... so I was carrying a 4 gallon pail with more than 2kg food, bend down and somehow hurt it.

I'll try and find a better pic of a FT glider ... sounds interesting.

Yah, quite a number of animals in Australia are extinct.... some are critically endangered, right?

Hola everyone!

I'm back from my long Raya break!

Glad my suggies behaved quite well, ate as much as they usually do, although on the first night Iggy woke me up 5 times by his barking

Okay, gotta do some catching ups



There are a few types of the so-called air purifier, but none really works 100%... More like 60-70% only...



Can, but must have a separater for it so that they don't touch or play in the woodshaving



Oh, yes, letting them out is never enough. Remember they originally live in forest and how big is a forest compared to our confined areas?

The actual recommended size for a captive glider's cage is actually 9ft x 9ft! But none of us mere humans can provide that for them... So letting them out to explore our mere confined areas is the least that we can do



Haha, it is possible!

I bet if you get a whiff of an unwashed week old suggie cage, it'll haunt you too



OMG! I saw them too on Friday when I was there at PS...

But it was already lesser than that and the size of the joey is really super small!!! Just a wee bit bigger than my thumb size! It was heartbreaking I couldn't stomach it to watch them longer

The light was insane... When my husband ask why they put the light, the salesperson there said because they're cold!

Furthermore, they have a small piece of paper which was handwritten with some so-called basic info, stuck by the side of the cage... Like origin from where... Life span... And the diet written was : APPLE & CAT FOOD... WTF!!!

I really cannot tahan... Would've really wanted to take the joey away from them evil people... But I walked away.....



NO, NO, NO... A glider should never ever be housed in a cage as small as that even if you let them out daily - period! The minimum is already stated at 3ft high, nothing less please!

The RM100 cage at PS is the minimum that we all would pass it as...



Yeah, I also wanna kidnap... The joey is too damn small and fragile looking

Got hold of the one the salesperson was holding, small and really untamed! Was crabbing and trying to jump off you and run away at any possible moment...



Huhh? What is there to be sorry for?

And what do you mean by ITTy?

I'm glad to be able to have him neutered and not contributing to the over breeding of gliders without possible good owner here



Fainted??

Aiyor, ruginyer



Yeah, Ceres seems good, but too big lah and then must consume within 7 days after opening...

I always get Berri brand cuz they got in those small drinking packs I think Marigold also got in small drinking packs.

I just bought the Ceres bottled mix fruit juice, it's a mix of passion fruit, mango, apple, pear and a few more fruits I think... The mixture is called "Whispers of Summer"... Haha, can't wait to try it out


KP

Yah, the small juice boxes are better for you guys.... but I use the large boxes coz I also drink heheheheh....

Haha, I don't really like apple juice alone, that's why get the mix one

I also got them the Berri Mango and Apple juice

Sighh, someone is bothering someone in the cage now, lotsa high pitch squeeking going on...

Time for food I guess

But Iggy ahh, everytime I open the cage, even just a bit, he will manage to squeeze pass my hand and pop out of the cage Look at me with those innocent big eyes like "huhh, what??"...


KP

yap..marigold have the small one..costly about rm7+ but the large one just rm4+

Cuz they sell in a pack of 6.

I got the Berri drinking pack one by one. They sell it separately. About RM1.90 per box at Guardian. Don't seems to find it in small boxes anywhere else


KP

normal 15mm one .. plastic PVC net and PLENTY of cable tied .. i do it in my room and guess what . it was so big, i can get into it and i cant even get it out of my room tru the door ! its bigger than the door ! hahaha

I use marigold small pack apple juice for mix food... but the smell ......

Nowadays i feel my Ah Pit look like fatty already. Is it easy fat because of over feeding ????
