Hey all! Would like to share a pix of my Joeys with you all...



The one looking at the camera is Neshimaru (my nickname lor...) and the one enjoying her worm meal is Suggie Wuggie!

They are twin sisters alright!

You pamper your gliders again Hun.. Inspires me to get wood chew and sticks.

My poor glidee at home..currently they isn't anything to occupy them.. besides the random branches i picked from roadsides.

I have done some googling just now on their natural diet. Saturday is one of my best, off day!

It helps me to appreciate the Pet Glider Complet Multivitamin. Why? Becuase it's complete with bee pollen, accacia gum and ..yes, nectar.

Sugar glider has high metabolism and great need for carbohydrates, this call for the nectar, a sugar-rich liquid produced by plants.

Second, they feed on large quantities of bee pollen besides nectar. And this bee pollen is very compact. Meaning they have condensed and broad-spectrum nutrients. A small amount proves effective.

The third reason, is the accacia gum. Sugar glider will feed on the exudate from this accacia, the sap, in the wild, accacia trees are a boon to may different stocks of mammals, not only sugar gliders. Birds love to perch on them and moving creatures love to seek shelter from it.

So now, i have it all in Pet Glider Complete and a good reason why i should get it.

Good suggestion Hun, I will feed them with Hibiscus flower too! Thanks..

My torts love it... my gliders should love it... but my guineas ignore it.

Not bucking.... barking. You must now spend more time with Ecah... and also learn from lesson, never leave a joey anywhere. They are too blur to cry for help.

Yah, nectar, bee pollen and acacia gum. Maybe pet shack will bring in acacia gum.... hahahah... maybe only.

Right now I got a pack of nectar from Australia... gonna try on them.

Some gliders won't bother with the flower.... but mine do heheheh. My tortoise also loves them.

thejamz, don't feel sad k? Wish that the pain that you're having will subside as fast as the mist that appears for awhile..

Had Neshimaru since last November.. then Suggie Wuggie was later given to me just last month cause the owner couldn't take care of it anymore. He wanted to sell off so I quickly buy it at cheaper price thinking it would be great to reunite the sisters again once and for all!

Oh yea.. mealworm! They are so icky but for them.. I'll climb the mountain! So feeding those worms will take me a long time cause they are just so ... *shivers*

oh, so gliders can eat hibiscus ?? does it contain nutrients?? apart from hibiscus flowers, what other flowers are not toxic and edible for gliders??

since nectar and pollen is part of their diet, i believe most flowers are edible right? especially those with large amount of pollens ? eg : kekwa, sunflower, roses ... are these edible too ???

RIP Nyra

oOo oh ya sunflowers.. i guess those flowers with a lot of bumblebee around can be fed to gliders? that means a huge ammount of nectar around ya?

ila...
thejamz.....
takziah....
tabahkan hati ya...

is tissue harm for them?
can i leave it in the pouch?

tissue is ok..

If you wanna know more, can always see the pet list hehehehe.... the 1st post. I'm keeping a star now. I'm now babysitting a leopard tortoise, really cute but I like stars better. I got no money for higher end tortoises heheheh. I love radiateds too.

Not all gliders make sounds. Joeys are fragile, so once kena a whole lot of pressure, they suffocate instantly, no sound to yell out also.

Yes, hibiscus is edible. About other flowers.... I gotta check. Not every flower is edible. Also, it has to be free from pesticides.

tq. i hope i recover soon. but i really want to get baby suggy in future

tissue is my glider's fav play time.. =P and tidur time.. =P and masa wet kena belasah kering time.. =P so far.. since 2 weeks ago.. i think i use more than 200 keping tisu already.. hahaha =P

so not dangerous ah?
