Wahh Flora02,

You took them to hotel ahh? They must be really happy then

Last time when Iggy went to a hotel, he get to be a free range glider and explore every nook and cranny of the hotel Then jump on people's face in the middle of the night Haha

In another 3 days time, my suggies get to travel balik kampung... But no fancy hotels lar, just a rumah kampung

---

Yeah, a lot of breeders/sellers with commercial mind will always give wrong info and tell every potential buyer that keeping gliders is easy cuz all they care is for the gliders to get sold off quickly.

That's why I say, never trust a breeder/seller that says keeping gliders are easy. It merely shows that they do not know a thing about gliders.

Aiyahhh! Iggy & Luna stinks to the max today... Semua Luna punya pasal making a mess in the wheel! Soooo stinky! Carry them around my neck also cannot tahan the smell

Breeders or joeys and such, please do thru PM only, thank you.

Correction, a BIG cage and sticks or vines, not big sticks only. Although they will do their antics in the cage, it is also better to let them out once in a while

Sugar gliders can make various types of noise, NO they don't just chirp softly.

Here are some reference on the noises they make and what they mean. Click on the name of the noise to hear it.

Added on October 11, 2007, 10:00 amSuper stink like smell of poo only!

Aihhh, even Iggy's musking I can tahan, but this ahh, kindda makes you wanna puke

Yeah, sometimes they can bark really loud. Most of the time Iggy barks, will always wake me up from my sleep


KP

Added on October 11, 2007, 11:44 amOkay, done cleaning them!

All my baju pun basah Summore at work, lucky got extra jacket.

Now Iggy in my shirt and Luna in the pouch.

But it doesn't work much lah cuz all the while cleaning, Luna was poo-ing everywhere And I don't have the puppy powder...

I think with the puppy powder it work quite well after cleaning them last time


KP

Yeah, will get the puppy powder soon, for now tak sempat lah, going back kampung in 2 days...

I think will probably wipe them again with some PureAyre lah, still stinking a bit

I think the brown stains is most probably the musking lor, Iggy's pouch also have it. I wash and change their pouch every week, but today gotta change again lah cuz of what Luna has done...


KP

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

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

Added on October 21, 2007, 12:18 amEhh, just like I said so... Iggy is out... Exploring his curtain as usual... Nowadays it'll take quite a while and sometimes have to tipu him a bit to get him back to his cage Heh, the taste of freedom


KP

This post has been edited by krynzpeaches: Oct 21 2007, 12:18 AM

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

Wah Hackerz, give Lollypop a Secret Recipe treat! I want too!

Haha



Can, but sometimes they like it, sometimes they don't, plus adding juices to the fruits seems to spoil them faster. But I've done it before



Err, why kesian her?

I thot kesian the glider, but the person wanting it? She said she'll pay for the glider, but want people to supply the food and cage then she'll do the rest... Huhu, like this everyone also want...



Yeah, serves him right! Hahaha

If I were there, I would laugh my ass of at him and tell him, "that's why a sleeping pouch is better than your stupid coconut... " Muahaha, I'm evil!

But glad and hopefully that the spotlight is removed for good.


KP

Oh yeah, that guy has had his gliders for 6 years! He sure knows a lot about them and takes great care of them

Just look at how they jump back to him... Even from the floor!

And he chooses good homes for his joeys

Now that is a good glider owner

Yeah, the "Why I want a Sugar Glider", I can also do that Ask someone give me a cage and food too and I will take care of the rest Muahaha


KP

Look who's too lazy after eating a bowl of mealworms...



(Pix blur cuz using handphone only )

Haha, mebbe cuz I don't have a hanging coconut, so she found a new place to lepak. Haha

Wahh, CFP, DIY hanging coconut ah? Last time I brought back 2 empty coconuts that has holes made by squirrels. However, I never came around to cleaning it and sand paper it, so it is still left outside on my balcony


KP

Haha, malas lah... Beside I don't want them sleeping in the coconut, later hard to coax them to come out

Huhh, which guy?


KP

Huhh??

Who that??

From LYN?


KP

Was his pets all stated in the friendster? I didn't see wor...

Chipmunks can be tamed only if you kept them from babies.



Yes, they need a lot of attention. Imagine taking care of a baby for 10-15 years.

Yes, they can die from loneliness and stress. Keeping 2 in the long term is always advisable cuz we do not know what will become of us in the next few years.

Yes, their home will stink if you do not watch their diet and clean their cage regularly.

If you read back a few post above, someone has mentioned that they actually stink more than hamsters, especially when they musk.

Read up the 1st page and do more research


KP

Yeah, musking.

Normally this is very distinctive with the males. If you worry about musking, either have the male neutered or keep a female pair

Yes, they do make lovely pocket pets for those who can bring them around.

Ohh, but they will pee and poo on you whenever they like. However, they will not do their biz where they sleep, like their sleeping or bonding pouch for instance.


KP

Ooo, now I see...

But the Racoon and the monkey not his lar

CFP, his glider cage looks cool huh? But outdoor okay lar cuz if indoor will smell cuz the wood absorbs the poo and pee woo

I hope he really jaga his gliders well


KP

Take your time, read and research more about suggies before deciding

It's a long term commitment that will change your life (I know it did to mine ).

It's good that you are aware of it at early hand

Huhh? Serious?

Like this also got...

Grr, tu lah, impulse buyer who did no research and deceived by the cuteness solely...

That's why I always caution my friends or colleagues when handling my suggies that they will pee or poo on you unless you don't mind... And my suggies will always have a little gift for them Haha

Huh, neutral them?? Or you mean neuter?

If neuter, will have to go to a vet lor.

4-6 hours especially when they're new to you. I can only say that you need to have interaction with them every single day and as much as you can. Because they are colony animals, they are used to having constant companion, that is why they need the interaction especially if you keep them singly. That's why they can die from loneliness...

I bet if we put someone(human), isolated all alone long enough, they too can die of loneliness(or turn insane).


KP

RM300 for a pair?

24cm from head to tail?

How big izit compared to the pixs in the 1st page?

But judging by the price, could be adults. They're harder to tame and will most probably bite too, not for those with less patience and no persistance.


KP

Yeah, it's a pity if you let go of your unwanted exotic pets into the wild thinking that they can survive on their own... They simply can't...

They have been raised in captivity, getting food sources from us, how do you expect them to find food by themselves in the wild?

When I tell more about gliders and touch about how some people get bored or choose not to keep them a few years down the line and opted to release them in the wild/forest, all the reactions I get is that "That's good what, they get more space and nature..."

Dhuhhh, how do we even know that they even survived the first night??? They're already out of our sight in the wild/forest...

It's sad that some people don't have the slightest inclination to study more about what they keep as pets...

Sighhh...

Okay, don't wanna dampen the morning mood

Ohh, now chipmunk talk lar pulak in suggie thread



I used to want one, but now I'm happier with my suggies

CFP, Aiko pun gigit orang?

Haha, I will always caution people when they wanna touch Iggy cuz Iggy will bite stranger if you approach him the wrong way. One of it is by putting your hand straight in the pouch... They only allow me to do so safely as they are used to it and recognized my smell, tho sometimes Iggy will still give me a gentle "chomp" as to say "take your hands off my face"

If YOU are your suggies main caretaker/friend/companion, it is important to have close supervision of them while the presence of other people especially when other people are handling them. That's why socializing them with other people is very good


KP

Ooo, Aiko je lar...

If you put your hand right infront of any animal punya face, ofcourse it's like inviting them to bite

Iggy is very much used to people compared to Luna, but he will bite if handled the wrong way. Luna is not used to people, but she will not bite...
