Welcome to the world of Sugar Gliders. You don't have to own one to love 'em, so it's no problem to have you around.

They are nocturnal, so they sleep away most of the day but doesn't mean they can't wake up. Our glider owners here usually bring them out in their pouches all day, but we don't constantly play with them, allowing them to sleep in the pouch. Once they get used to the motion of being in the pouch while we do our daily routine, it's not easy to wake them unless you take them out. Like I can run, walk, or even jump and Billie will stay fast asleep in her pouch.

They do wake up themselves when they need to pee and/or poo, or even play. Billie is a pouch destroyer because when she wants to pee, means she wants to pee, so have to secretly take her out during class for her to pee. But sometimes she wants to play, which will result in the process of destroying the zipper because I can't leave her out too long. But usually if you do not take them out for a long period of time and they stay asleep in the pouch, the next time you do, they will usually automatically pee and/or poo right after you take them out.

That kind of routine to bond to 2 is okay for short periods of time, preferably not over a day, but once in a while let them rest, like don't bring them out for alternate days. Its recommended to have a strong bond to the first one though, then only get a second. And also, bringing both out at the same time is better than leaving one at home, unless you have no confidence when it comes to handling 2 at once. It does have a negative effect if you do it too often and separate them for too long.

dun say living in luxury, living normally oledi cost over 1k

2xglider = 550 - 600
good cage = 250 - 300
accessories = 50 - 100
food = 50 - 100

I don't spend much on accessories, so it's

1.The glider RM300 for one.

2.A nice spacious cage, RM200+, or the smaller, more budget friendly cage, RM100+. So the basic for glider and cage is already RM400 to 500.

3.Basic food per month RM15 to RM17, fruits around RM 5 or so every other day.

4. Crickets and mealworms, RM8 for mealies and RM4 for crickets will last awhile.

It's the fruits. Unless you buy from the supermarket, then it's cheaper. I buy ready cut fruits as I want to give them variety so I can buy 3 types a day without wasting. My fridge got problem and is almost always full, can't keep so much.



Jambu air, guava, mango, kiwi, water crest, water melon, sun melon, honeydew, custard apple, apple, pear, persimmon, papaya, dragon fruit, ciku, blueberries, cranberries, strawberries, figs etc.

hi all

here is the update on my glider condition
to those who wish for his health and recovery, thanks alot, appreciate it

the condition gone from worse to worst
i thought he is recovering  as the interval of his crabbing reduce significantly however it turns out tat its getting worst, despite crabbing lesser, everytime he crab, he will chew on the wound like mad until the flesh comes off.

my observation tells me tat he only chew on them when he poo / pee. he lose quite abit of blood as the fur surrounding the area is all red and its  really heart breaking to see his condition and hears his screams. his condition is even worst than the pic attach as the wounded area is now at least 2mm deep and as big as a corn. the unfortunate thing is the wound is exactly or near the cloacal, tats why he feel so painful when he poo.

despite this, he is still very active and his useless owner still unable to attach the collar to him properly.
mayb i am not a good pet owner myself, should have jus stick to keeping hedgehog 
this is the first time i feel so useless in my entire 24 years as a human.

i apply hydrogen peroxide to his wound adi and he is sleeping now, hopefully he stays asleep till tomolo morning so that i can bring him to the vet again to fix the collar.

i hope no suggy will have to face this kinda shit in the future, reason why i continue posting this updates so tat if really so unlucky it happens, future owner will know about the progress and know wat to do best, pls fix the collar right from the start. dun wait till it become worst like mine. condition can turn bad in a short period of time.

buttercup, thanks alot, unfortunately my glider dint manage to recover, however ur post keeps me going till now. appreciate it 

now i can only put my hope on the collar, if it fails then i will consider to put him to sleep 
i cant bear to see him self mutilated himself till death 

thanks silverwineus and everyone, 

i was very panic today coz the wound become very serious and gory, there is blood everywhere.
i was stun, scared and duno wat to do 

luckily got hun and reanne talk to me, i manage to calm down abit 

i make the collar adi although not as nice as suzsugarglider one
i only use surgical tape, cotton and the xray film.

it dint work coz its struggling like mad to free himself,
i hold him with gloves also cant make him wear it,
he keep on biting my hand like mad.
