Yes, a variety of fruits, mealworms or crickets and mix is fine. You can refer to the diet I wrote in the 1st page.

Losing fur can be something serious and like I told you before, we cannot diagnose what's wrong with your glider ourselves, further more we can't see him ourselves.

It's really best you bring him to a vet as soon as possible.

Don't wait and see what happens, get him checked fast.

ya man.. get him check out real quick

u don't want anything to happen to your beloved SG right ?


oh yea and i have a problem

the bold area on my ah choo's head... its getting wider.. ill try to get a GOOD picture of it later... just wondering if its normal...

Balding for male glider is absolutely normal

Be it wider, a little or too much.

Male gliders have a scent gland on their forehead. This scent gland actually produces musky smelling liquids. When this liquid dries and sticks to their fur, some of the fur will fall off easily when they groom. My male glider once got a huge shiny bald patch, but not to worry as I soon found out that the fur will grow back every time they lose it

Yah Din, I hope you can go to Dr Yeoh and find out what is wrong with your glider.

Bald Spot is really really normal. Hahaha.... scent gland. Neuter the glider then the bald spot will become tiny.

so may be this one adult want..

if not mistaken,u can cut off the meal worm head then picit those juice out let ur suggie to lick abit test..then hope it will fall in love with eat & will ask for more..

"Be sure to always gut load your mealworms or crickets first before feeding your sugar glider "
then wat mean by this?
can i direct put the life mealworm?
thanks

feed ur mealworm good quality food so ur suggie will get those high protein or whatsoever from the mealworm.

i think all owner feed their suggies with live mealworm,most of the owner start off introducing mealworm by cutting the head off & picit some juice out from the mealworm & let the suggie try to lick.can try this way meanwhile waiting for the pro for advice

wtf so many suggy cram together
where is this shop ar?
inside petaling street ?

usually i wont prefer not to go there
but tempted to go there have a look

Kembara and Dien

ahaha.... I know that shop, my childhood petshop. Anyway, those gliders are wild ones.... untame, sold for breeding. It was a large shipment, had about 6 large cages, now left with 2. That petshop do business, that's why like that loh.... also he won't simply buy animals that won't move quickly in his shop.... he already told me he won't take hedgehogs that are normal colours hahahah.

They are adults, more than 7 months old. They are mainly sold for breeding, that's why Rm120.

Oh, you must tempt her.... don't worry lah. Slowly. Cut the mealworms head and let her taste the juice. It will take some time.

Gutload means feeding the mealworms 24 hours before you feed to your glider. Normally the mealworms, you must keep them in a bedding of oats. Then you can give some green veggie like Choy Sum, Kai Lan or Spinach and KangKung. Then also you can throw in some dogfood or fish food.
