I'm moved by the loving care that you display towards Cheekoo. Quiet and comfort her by holding her close to your heart, feeding her with the right nourishment such as Lactose Free Milk and calcium suplement in midnight, trimming her nails as precaution. Seeking the right vet as soon morning breaks..
I'm touched by the compassion and love you shown for your lil critter.. exemplifying a good model to me.
Update us on her development of her leg and hope for speedy recovery soon.

Want to express my thanks to the many who are willing to take in these supplements to share with us.
Not only my gliders are in need, my tortoise as well..
For my torts, they will need added Vit D3 for sure as Vit D3 is vital for the absorption of calcium. As for the gliders, should i purchase the calcium with or without added Vit D3 in this case, anyone who knows pls clarify that for me ..
Much thx.

Spel'it, can you share with us this vet you patronize? Dr. Jenny? Does she specialize in sugar glider treatment? Whreabout it is this vet?

I think spel'it, you are like me, should get hold of Rep-Cal.. and stuff for the gliders.. so to bid all the metabolic bone disease or whatever paralysis disease a good farewell..right?

Hun, you mean these supplement like calcium and herptivite (multivitamin) must be given daily?
Then, i must have made a mistake, as i thought the interval of feeding these supplement is weekly.
Will giving it daily be too much? What you guys suggest?

Right now, i'm in the midst of multi-tasking. One hand browsing the forums, on the other hand bonding with my cute and lovely critters..
What to do, always short of time...
Initially, i took the male MengZai out, then i took a fleeting look at the cage and saw LaiLai was looking so enviously..
Later, i let the male returned to the cage, and guess what..
As promptly as i opened the door, she just dashed out with patagium wide spreaded, and flown like a batman girl..
What concerned me was that she fell hard on the ground..OUCH!
I quickly grabbed her up and sayang her.. she's quite nakal and wants attention.

I just read this article about paralysis, thank you for sharing this link.
It reveals how important is sufficient nutrients, calcium, vitamins in the gliders diet. This article should alert us..

A good sign, at least she is able to eliminate waste..yeapy!
Good effort to get a 2nd confirmation, you are very careful..
(OOPs, my suggie is barking now!! She's excited)
OK, back to the topic.
So the vet do not require any x-ray then.
Hands and Paws, if i'm not mistaken is near Aman Suria or Sunwaymas, PJ, right? I could be wrong. One day i should go and check that out, hmm
Wow..hushing your gliders to sleep by baby lullaby..?
Yeah, i used to sing tunes as well to jazz up the suggies, hehe..

Phoonwa..

It's incredible idea to make playthings for the gliders, such as ladder, stairs, tunnels...
Very stimulating to our creativity and i would love to make some of these jumping toys for them in future as well.. haha

It's been some time i have not visited Ikano Pet Safari.
Today i have the privilege to do so.

Then i stopped over the sugar glider display glass vivarium, about 1 x 1.5 x 2 feet, roughly estimated.
Currently there is just a single underaged joey on display.
The forehead of the joey is injured.

I have the privilege to talk to the shop assistant and i think it's a good conversation to create awareness on the care of joeys.
The shop assistant is quite polite to me even though i may be quite straightforward about the lamps and the vivarium, which is designed for reptiles, and not sugar glider.

If more people excercise their boldness and rights to speak the truth in love and politely, then more awareness will be created and they may start to see the severity of the condition and complaints made by others and make a change.

It's good that currently the shop assistants there have more awareness now, because subsequently they have received many similar complaints peviously. Thanks to these people that cared, which have sowed seeds to them.

But in the case of selling underaged joeys, the breeders are the main concern as they are the ones who supply.
There should be a ruling enforced, that selling underaged joeys are prohibited.

If this circumstance should persist, then a firm action should be taken by reporting this cruelty to the animal welfare department for investigation. Lets observe how it goes from now.

Probably you are aware of the discussion on this subject in the 8-10 section..

Added on March 9, 2008, 5:32 amThanks for the link, i have noted it as the accessories are very creative, it will be my next year project. Currently i'm working on my cage project this year.

Have missed almost 10 sections and just gone through it. Last week i was occupied with upgrading my marine tank which have acquired some satisfaction.
Referring to the cost of keeping sugar gliders previously, it's considered much reasonable as compared with guinea pigs and marine.
The maintenace cost for guinea cost from RM150-200, marine and together with planted tank cost more than RM 100 per month.

Wow, Reanne, you got an indoor cat as well.. great specimen!... opps ..dog. hehe

KP,
Hope that one day you will teach us how to make a mix like yours..
I'm very interested to learn to make one myself..

Is it mixing the ingredients in a blender and then refrigerate?
How long will a tub last as fruits won't be fresh in long term isn't it?

Hun, may i know which pet shop you purchase Purina (Fancy Feast for cats), sounds good and succulent for my gliders as well..

Hun, i believe your gliders were so blessed as you know how to make as well as provide them nourishing wholesome foodstuff, haha..

Actually, i think some gliders have different preference.
it makes it easier for them by chopping into fine pieces and mixing it with fruits or things they like.

Lets say greenaries like vege which they loathe, if i give them the whole big piece, you can be sure they won't eat it.
But if i chop it up to very fine pieces and mix it with the things they like, usually i will find none left in the morning.

It's nice that the meeting went smooth and agreeable.
Like Hun metioned, I think we need to ask if they provide any basic facilites and resource such as
1. sound system

2. tables and chairs

2. exhibition display panels/boards.

which after their reply.

The itinerary will be fine once basic things to be figured out.
1. A voluntary speaker is found.

2. the exhibition site's materials preparation.

3. sales boothe/counter.

If there is anything for help, just let me know.

First time will always "take a lot of sweat" , but subsequent times will always be "close eyes also can do laa" kind.

I think the approach is sensible. For bacterial infection, plain ointment may be too mild, a stronger dose of antibiotic may be needed.

A bad experience can cause us to draw back.
