Trust me, I'm an Engineer Senior Member 1,868 posts Joined: Feb 2008 From: Penang, USJ, Seremban	Hi everyone, I'm new to this site, just wanna introduce myself. I have 2 gliders, been keeping one of them for more than 2 years and the new one for 2 months. Both female, wild from the forest...but the older one is alreasy tamed. The new female is already pregnant but the male isn't around, ran away. The joeys are due to OOP soon, probably in a couple of weeks. Just gald to see so many glider owners. Very hard to train, but you'll be ahndsomely rewarded.(i mean the wild ones, mine are adults)

Trust me, I'm an Engineer Senior Member 1,868 posts Joined: Feb 2008 From: Penang, USJ, Seremban	[quote=krynzpeaches,Feb 15 2008, 09:59 AM] How or what do you mean the male ran away? Izit you bought her with the joeys in the pouch? It's good if she has a companion to help her raise the joeys but I'm not sure if it will work well with new female companion, meaning if they have not really gotten along long enough... Try and do some reading and research to be prepared. I got them with joeys in pouch, the cage wasn't locked properly so the male ran away. Not gonna introduce her to any other gliders yet. I'm keeping her alone by herself till her joeys are out and able to be on their own. hehe, did all the reading already. No worries

His whole room light red, like those rooms for developing films. Yea, it will look like those room where ppl develope films. Those lights won't hurt their eyes, plus they'll play happily there so u can observe n play together. Added on February 15, 2008, 11:54 am QUOTE(krynzpeaches @ Feb 15 2008, 11:48 AM) I see... But if you also read, they need a companion to raise a joey. They don't normally do it alone. Cuz when the mother goes out to eat, the male will usually stay and keep the joeys warm. When the male goes to eat, the mother pulak stay and keep the joeys warm. Cuz if the joeys are left alone during the first 2 weeks they are OOP, they will cry looking for their parent. I'm just worried that the mother will get stressed or depressed raising the joeys alone... We don't want any reject case to happen... That was my concern. KP I agree and i'm concerned bout that too but tehre's nothing i can do other than to help her care for her joeys when they r out. If i were to introduce a new male or female, i'm almost 100% sure she will canibalise her joey. It happened before. Thanks for your concern This post has been edited by jitshiong: Feb 15 2008, 11:54 AM

Hhehe,dun make a single noise now. but it's not good to get wild one. u never know how old they r n if they r sick.i got 2 from the wild. only 1 make it.she's with me for 2 and a half years now.

I see Hun very syok leh, the SG keep on follow her one. hehe, they'll stick to u. if i leave them on my friend's shoulder, she would jump back to me if i were to walk away. but it takes time to get there. it's not easy,wild ones will run away if they see trees. n they'll climb as far as they can get.

I dun keep them in my pockets, dangerous. Might accidentally sit on them. Always hang them on my neck or shirt pocket. So far, their nails never got stuck yet. Cos most of the time they r just sleeping in there. By the time they r out to play i'm already with them. Errm, I've never experience that before but i've heard from people that their nails could get stuck. The only time this happens is when they jump to my towel,i had to help them out cos their nails got stuck. By the way, I saw one of my joeys last night. It's a female, I was hoping for a male. Too many female glider in the house. This post has been edited by jitshiong: Feb 16 2008, 12:09 PM

I've been peed on many times now and it feels and smells like a clear water. the pee doesn't smell?? WoW! That's the first, normally the pee don't have a strong smell. Unless the eat certain type of food. I don't really know which food will cause the bad smell. Insects probably.
