Why you did not refer to the 1st page?
Anyway, I will still answer but please please read the 1st page.

1) Price for a pair can be anything from RM500 to RM700 depending on where and who you get it from. Look at Garage sale.... Adults are cheaper but they are also wild and untame... tamable but needs LOADS of patience.

2) Gliders are like children, they need friends.... if alone, you would need to almost spend 16 hours with it. 10 hours for bonding and 6 hours play.... can you do that? You may be able to do it in 1 or 2 years but later you will get tired and they got a live span of 10 years! Read the 1st page on why a pair and how much care you must give.

3) Food, read the 1st page.

4) It is not easy to keep them. Think of children.... if you can't tolerate a toddler.... they need attention from owners and also their own species. They are not like dogs or cats or rabbits or hamsters.... their care is much much different as they are nocturnal. Gliders are most active during the late nights like 1am, 4am... some would be active around 11pm... this depends on individual gliders.

5) sexually mature at 7 months.... then it is up to them when to breed. Best is to get single sex pairs to avoid over breeding. Remember, 10 years.... to breed for 10 years is never joyful for an animal.

6) If a joey or glider has never been handled, then yes, it would bite and painful too. Sometimes bleeding also good. We also get scratches everywhere, my arms are all scars from glider claw marks hahahah.

Yups.... most likely you will get bitten very hard and even bleed from them coz they got no trust for humans. Their health is not good also coz they have been on a diet of cheap catfood, apples and pears. Cheap of course would come with problems.

i agree with u
when i was there,i saw the tokey jz gave 'em to eat apples,cat food,pears & 'sengkuang'.
besides dat they lived in uncomfy condition
everyone tried to hide from the light by 'berhimpit2' into da bekas makanan
so poor hmm.gif

i'm scared of being bitten or hurt cry.gif
