there`s a write up on sg`s,here`s the link to it..
http://thestar.com.my/youth2/story.asp?fil...1181&sec=youth2 The new hamster Years ago, a tiny furry rodent became the pride and joy of many a family in Malaysia - hamsters graced the windows of pet stores while cats and dogs fumed in the background as potential buyers gushed over the tiny creatures. They were cheap, cute and required little maintenance. Except for cleaning their cages and feeding them, hamsters pretty much took care of themselves. However, the Mesocricetus auratus is now a thing of the past. Youngsters and adults alike have a new craze - and it's called the Sugar Glider. The small gliding possum originates from Australia, and was recently introduced to Malaysia. Freelance 3D animator Mohd Sufiennaz Md Ali purchased his first Sugar Glider last November for RM350, and is going to buy a female companion for Iggy (as he was christened). "Sugar Gliders are social creatures - they don't like living alone. They have a tendency to die of loneliness, but luckily for Iggy, he has my cat to keep him company," says Sufiennaz, 28. The creatures, which can grow up to 21cm in length, is able to glide mid-air for almost 50m, thanks to their 'gliding membranes', which is skin stretched from the fifth finger of the forelimb back to the first toe of the hind foot. Sufiennaz is just recovering from an allergic reaction to Iggy's poop and pee, but that hasn't stopped him loving his little friend any less. "They are very neat except for the fact that they pee everywhere. I have to confine him to a single room," he explains. He also notes that Sugar Gliders are extremely temperamental creatures, with mood swings that often end in biting fits. "Of course, their bite doesn't make you bleed. But they have no qualms about showing you that they're unhappy," chuckles Sufiennaz. Iggy eats nuts and bits of fruit on normal days, but when he's been good and obedient, Sufiennaz makes him scrambled eggs and treats him with cat biscuits. "It seems everyone is getting Sugar Gliders. I had been thinking about it for the longest time and now that I have Iggy I can't wait to extend the family," he says. |
