purchase 1 joey ?

i thought they live in at least a pair ?

i read somewhere stating that its not advisable to have 2 males and 1 female as the males will fight for mating rights, so do u think its advisable for 2 females and a male instead ?

i agree with you, i actually intend to learn more deeply about SGs, about their daily lives, since the male SG my fren is gonna give me comes with a 3ft cage, all accessories, so i guess it would be much easier for him and me, ill only have to work on the bonding part, after he's not afriad of me, ill proly get another male OR fmale..

i spend most of my off-working hours at home, so i guess spending time with it shouldnt be a problem

Ah I also didnt realise when you got another male, lol... how does Kiah like him? ok or not? haha

Like Hun said, that would definitely be an adult and untamed.
Ofcourse they wont be loitering around, they're nocturnal, so they spend their day sleeping.

I have no restriction on people buying an adult glider, because they need a good home too... But only if you trust yourself for having a lot of patience in taming and bonding with them. And only if you are clear of the consequences you are getting yourself into.

Taming and bonding with an adult glider takes a LOT of time, a LOT of patience and persistancy. It could take months or even years to tame them.

For all I know, NOT many of our local people are willing to do that. Somehow we seem to have less patience and give up easily.
They're colony animals, they live best in pairs of any sex or groups. They thrive on companionship.

Yes, 2 males will fight over 1 female unless both the males are neutered.

2 female and 1 male will only encourage breeding (again, unless you have the male neutered) plus there are chances when 1 female has joeys in the pouch the other will attempt to steal or kill the joey. It happens even in the wild, but they can run all they can since the wild is such an open space, however, they can't if they're in a cage and most likely injury or death can happen.

Sorry Hun, I am not against people getting 2 gliders at once, infact I would now prefer it that way because I have seen that companionship is really important to them and also that taming 2 gliders takes the same effort as taming one, but with a slight one to one at a time.

Taming and bonding with 2 gliders CAN be achieved successfully and almost at the same rate of taming 1 glider with the right method
Yes, do learn more about suggies and understanding atleast the basics before getting one.

Feel free to ask if you are unsure of any of your findings

I think 2 untamed adults is way worse lah...

They will definitely need to be separated to gain their trust.

However, if you have 1 tamed adult and another untamed adult, most likely the tame one will help you teach or tame the untamed one

Haha, sounds like a tongue twister pulak...

my glider didnt smell..lols..wanna kiss everytime kwawaka..

think the timing would be just nice.. ill have time to bond with this male that im getting from my friend, and i can adopt another male from u, and i dont have to think about buying females XD

i think for starters, 2 males should be sufficient ?

aha krynzpeaches is right

but i heard there's people selling suggies

at uptown danau kota .....

behind buildings???

hurm.....

my joey crab less and not tat bitey liao as time goes by

Oh, about the cat food, my Ah Pit eat cat food is not direct bite on it, she lick lick lick until those cat food already soft and wet then only bite. Until now she still jump out for cat food when i take it for her have a look ( cus i'm feeding my hedgehog, and try c is it she still remember what is it. )

Peaceretro,

Yeah, unfortunely flea market like uptown danau kota & even damansara are selling sugar glider joeys

Sadly, they are in very poor condition as in they are sold under aged, kept in small cages and given the wrong diet. Furthermore all the advise given to potential buyers are totally crap...

I think selling pets at flea markets are just plain stupid. Those people are just selling for money and have no experience at all.

Reanne,

Yeah, I'm proud of my Iggy boy! He is doing just great I'm glad that he's safely neutered

Wahh, Dakota sleep till like that huh Memang syiok habis!

Haha, yeah color contrast can always be seen with adult gliders and joeys.

But how come Hun can keep Kiah so clean even when she's all grown up?

I still haven't ever bathe Iggy & Luna myself, last time it was Hun jugak that did it. I guess I'd rather take them to Hun's Suggie Spa ley

So when is the opening Hun?

i jsut got back from great eastern.. there's a SG i saw over there... it looks so stressed up... it was hiding inside the hole all the while..

when i look at it... he was shivering...

poor SG... it's all alone in that cage... i see plenty of insects around the cage, and its so smelly, i wonder when was the last time ppl actually gave him food or clean the cage..

Hi Everyone here,

I am new here and read alot of information here.

I seen a few pair of Joeys in JB for sale and intend to buy a pair. Need to get the answer for the following questions before buying them.

Is Sugar Glider consider an endanger spies? Do you need a permit to keep them in Malaysia?

Would appreciate if someone can give me the answer.

Thank you.

malboy98,

Nope, unfortunately keeping gliders here in Malaysia does not need a permit or license.

And nope, they are not endangered species.

However, the care and maintenance is very important in keeping a glider, so do be well prepared before getting them.

Haizzz, kesian also kesian, but we can't do anything.

Just going there to watch or see them in such condition is heartbreaking especially when knowing the fact that you can't do nothing to help.

Out of pouch joeys does not have wet furs, it could be wet because of something else or the conditioned they are kept in.

Damn, if only I could burn those shop down (ofcourse I'll free the animals first and lock the owners inside )
