About the meal, they are feed on apples, not too much pears (can cause diarrhea if given too much), high quality cat food, and occasionally mealworms and yogurt but not too much mealworms coz he believe that given them too much will cause sight problem (buta!) when they become adults. that's what he told me about the food.

hmm....that's alot of information you got there. thanks.
 anyway i still need him to answer the question about the housing. then, i'll only consider about it. for overall what do you think about the both joeys? but through the video, the sugar is quite active and naughty as well.  |

QUOTE(krynzpeaches @ Jan 22 2008, 10:07 AM) I'm responding to all your Q's above. hm....i don really get what do u mean by Out Of Pouch. u mean 2 months of OOP joeys are better? and 1 thing i dun understand is wat do u mean by 3 months from birth means it's only 1 month OOP? u mean a joey will be ready to sale when is reaches 4 months?(2 months from birth and another 2 months OOP). kinna confuse here The joeys in the pix are 3 months old FROM BIRTH, NOT OOP (Out Of Pouch) A joey is ready to be sold or separated from their parent only at 2 months (8 weeks) OOP. 3 months form birth means it's only 1 month OOP. Believe me, I know how a 1 month OOP joey looks like and a 2 months OOP joey looks like. You wanna see how a 2 months OOP joey look like? Feel free to come and see me!  . mind to explain again? |

QUOTE(krynzpeaches @ Jan 22 2008, 05:11 PM) I meant the milk, not the tweezer ooooo got it. thanks for the explanation.  OMG  *Falls off the chair...* Then you seriously know nothing about suggies yet... If you are seriously interested to keep suggies, you need to do some research dear... It's not that 2 months OOP is better... 2 months OOP is the right age, is the correct age, the supposed age for a joey to be separated from their mother. Sugar gliders are marsupial, so when a joey is born, they will crawl into their mother's pouch and stay in there/grow in there for 2 months. All the while in the pouch, we cannot see it, touch it or take it out. After 2 months being in the pouch, then they will come out. That is what we call Out Of Pouch (OOP) Right after OOP, the joeys eyes will still be closed until it is 2 weeks OOP. The joey will need to be with their mother until it is 8 weeks OOP because during this period they will be nursing and learning everything that their parents teach them. Understand? So the right weaned age is atleast 8 weeks OOP (or if you wanna add with their time being in the pouch, yes, it is 4 months after birth) Clear? KP  anyway i'm not the 1 who wanna keep them. is my GF. anyway she's done many research about it. so i think it's time to buy her a pair or 1. |
