lol
My Miko does the same thing but it's not cuz they're afraid. It hurts their eyes from dark to suddenly bright. Hurts you eyes too right? If you stay too long in the dark and suddenly on the lights.

Eh, not really because it's natural for them to avoid light. They are nocturnal and they have large pupils like owls so they can see clearly in the dark. This is a natural thing, so you can't really train them to not respond to light.

Don't need to make the room 24/7 dark. Just use a dark cloth or black T-shirt to cover the cage and let it be shaded from most of the light.

You mean cherry tomatoes and baby carrots? lol

Tried some Japanese Rock melon and Royal Mango, both were so sweet! Gliders polished the bowl by morning, but Miko doesn't seem to be putting on weight. Gave a little cashewnuts but she wouldn't take. Only Billie liked the cashewnuts.

Ppl must think I'm weird, smelling each fruit and getting sap on my nose. Hahaa... Actually, one way to see if the fruit will be sweet is to smell it. Fruits like melons and mangoes will smell quite fragrant. Out of most melons, only 1 I found smelled nice and out of a whole stack of mangoes, only managed to find 2 that smelled good. A little extra effort for sweeter fruits.

Tried to look for that yummy papaya KP posted, but couldn't find any.

I find that their pee don't normally smell.

Hamster pee is way different and worst.

Only their marking pee smells.

There's a difference between normal pee and marking pee.

The marking does smell and can stink like burning paper...
Yeah, normally it doesn't smell.
The Golden Papaya doesn't make their poo smelly

Cool huh!

hye guys,one silly questions from the newbies here..do y'all bath your sugar glider????coz mine is bit smelly,because she always paste the leftover from the food inside the pouch...so she smells like apple busuk a bit la..

dude, raw honey dangerous leh.. cos its not been through purification. if you wanna give honey, get the supermarket one. hehe..

the the raw honey can cause diarrhea O~

Recently Teddy lay low on eating his fruits. He would eat very little everyday compared to before. This happens since I feed him Hun's mix (about 1 1/2 spoon a day) which he finish till the last drop. Is this normal?

Anyway, some new pictures of Teddy. (please ignore the power rangers pillowcase )

Just wash, cut in half and serve. Easy stuff. Do limit to 1 cherry tomato a day and make sure no cherry vine or leaf coz that is poisonous.
Hmmm... adults? If adults, then is a bit high if untame ones. Adults are usually going for RM120 to RM150, although some places are offering adult males at RM60 to Rm100 each....

If it is a petshop, be aware, their stock are sometimes not healthy since they do not feed good food. I once went to a petshop, and he told me that gliders only eat Grapes and Kuaci.... Grapes can be toxic to gliders, kuaci is too high in fat and it can cause blockage or choking if the glider doesn't chew right.
Wahhh.... not raw honey! Only use Pure honey, which is what you usually find in supermarkets and organic shops coz it is pasturized, treated with the right temperature. Anyway, honey is not really good for gliders, licking treats are ok but a glider can get diarrhea if it takes too much honey. Also, some say it could lead to teeth problems.
LOL.... you feed the mix with fruits? That is normal loh.... you should feed the mix in the morning, then fruits at night.... if you feed both together, sure he will eat all the mix and won't wanna touch the fruits.

Thanks for the clarifications! 
Will do as you advice! Hehe.

Its all the mix fault for being so tasty and healthy he wont eat other food. Hehe~

I dont think he ever pee in his food container. But i did find poo once in a while.

I also once found him sleeping inside of it...
