Reanne, thank you for your lengthy advise. I dont mind the crabbiness. In fact, I love the sound. However, I will put a stop to the kitchen mitten. Yes, they are calmer yesterday after the tent-time. It was hard with them running around but once they got to the shoulders, they were fine and they let me touch them. I am going to do this every night until they are familiar with me. Thanks again!

Wahhh liouuu! Another long post to reply...





As everyone has mentioned, a glove is a No-No... It will cover up your scent and can scare the suggies more.

I think you are trying to grab or pick them up too soon lah. I only started picking up my suggies after they are familiar with me... All the while I just offer my hand for them to smell or explore...

Anyway, Hun and Reanne has advised you a lot on this



Luna Ariel Tsukino says "Hi!" to Luna



In the wild, if they fall, it's on soft soil... Here, if they fall, it's splat on solid cement floor!

There's a big difference there. So it's not okay actually.



Hmm... I don't think it's necessary to put tissues in their sleeping pouch... If dirty, it can always be taken out to wash

Actually the easiest way to get them out from the pouch is by slowly pushing it from outside to inverse it and pop they come out



Wet, wet a bit is normal, healthy mar

All mine will leave little wet trails on my nose and cheeks if they kiss me



I'm not a breeder. (Not sure in the future...)



- Shaking is normal when they just woke up and such. Their motor just started running

- Stoning while eating is normal if it's not their eating time... It's like, they suddenly realize "Ehh, why am I eating, I'm suppose to be sleeping... *blink, blink*"

- Active is normal, you should be happy she is active



- Normal volume music is fine. Just make sure it's not like a blasting concert speaker

- I don't think a USB fan is necessary... If you want just switch on the normal fan

KP

*To be cont'...*

Bravo!

A tent is a good bonding choice

Actually, all you need to do is sit in the middle of the tent quietly minding your own biz and let them explore the whole tent and YOU. Don't try to catch them or anything, just sit there and let them jump about and explore

Do this often and they will soon know your scent and not afraid of you.



What color is best?

Color does not determine personality or character.

What color is best is just a person's personal choice.

Some like chocolate, some like grey, some like white...



Haha, all suggie will recognize their own pouch one

When they're in the pouch, crabbing and all, just stroke them from outside and talk to them calmly... Slowly, they will recognize your touch and voice and won't crab anymore



I think that's great!

Baby carrot skin can be left on, but normal carrot it's better to peel lah

Hmm, funny, I don't remove tomato seed actually cuz as long as it's an edible seed, I just leave it... Those that are not edible such as apple seed, pear seed or even orange seed needs to be removed lah...



Cherries! Yummm!

I think most pasar malam will have cherries nowadays



Haha, that's the price for a Kilo which is like damn a lot...

I think like RM5 also can get you a decent few just for your suggies



Yes, they can.



Yes, you need to separate the daughter or else the father can impregnate the daughter.

Wahhh, got joey again?

This is why I don't recommend keeping intact males with female, cuz some males can be very active and resulting in offsprings almost every 3-4 months... In the wild, they breed twice a year, but in captivity, it can happen all year round...

Take a good look at you female, sooner or later it will tire her very much from having to carry around joeys all the time... It is not good for her health too... Her pouch will have no time to rest or get back in shape because it keeps on expanding for joeys...



Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, sooooooo little!!!



Do take good care of Casper, he's definitely under aged.



Just handwash using a mild soap such as hand wash or body soap

KP

thanks kp got it

bonding? if let say when i reach home that time i take her out and put at my should let her run around my back is that call bonding ?? as long she stick (lekat) with me??

kelvin_faye,
OK, I will upload some photos within these few days. When your turn to get SGs? When you feel commited enough lor. If you think you are ready, then that's your queue lor!



krynzpeaches,
Wow, really a double-long post. Errr, to be honest, I've not read about glove is a No-No. I mean not on this forum anyway. I must have missed it. I saw what Reanne wrote and I will put a stop to it. I think you're right, I'm going in too fast. Just after 2 days, their nipping does reduce by a lot.

They smell my hand but they dont explore it. Too afraid to mount it even though it's just the back of my palm. But if I pick them up and put them on my shoulders, they hardly jump off after a few tries. That was yesterday, I'm going to try again today.

Wow, your Luna has a really long name. Makes my Luna feel so small. Should give her something like Luna Ranka Sebastian Jones VII. Hahaha... Kidding cause I probably wont remember later, so Luna is just fine. Symbolize the moon just like Hun's Kapi does.

Inverse the pouch to get them out. Yes, I did that last night and this morning. Figured it wasnt nice to let them feel earthquake on their home every time I want them out, so I slowly push them and there's plenty of crabbing. I dont mind the sound as I love it but I think they REALLY mind me pushing the pouch from down to up to inverse it. Like kacau their private time.

I bought a 2-Men tent and set it up in my room. It's quite huge. I let them out from the bonding pouch in the tent, I tried ignoring them, I played my PSP and they went snuggling up in a corner. After 20 minutes, they didnt budge, so I have to put my PSP out (worry they pee on it or what), and go catch them. Once I did, I put them on my arm and let them climb up. Moka especially like my hair. She is like helping me catch kutu (no, I dont have any). This behaviour is like what the monkey does, search under the hair for treasures.

I wanted to buy a 1-Man tent at Tesco but they said that if it's 1-Man, it's a sleeping bag. Cheh! So 2-Men tent is the minimum and its really quite big. I recommend this to everyone who wants a glider-proof space, not too big such as rooms where they can run off and hide somewhere you cant reach them. This is limited space and close to one another. Nice!

I think suggies recognizes their pouch because they pooped in it. Luckily I bought a second one from Pet Shack, so I have two to interchange if they dirty one of it. I woke them up at 10:00am this morning and put them in the bonding pouch. They have been with me ever since. We watched TV, cooked spaghetti, had brunch and now in front of the computer. They have been crabbing on and off. When I touch them from outside the bonding pouch, sometimes they quiet down, sometimes they go louder.

QUESTION:
1. Are they grumpy because they dont get to sleep peacefully in the bonding pouch?
2. Will it affect their sleeping time later?
3. They've pooped in the bonding pouch but no pee. Will they pee in the bonding pouch? I'm hoping it wont drip on me or my bed.

So your gliders have been eating cherry tomatoes with the seed? It's OK for them? Well, I woke up and find the baby carrots are still in the metal bowl. They probably only had one tiny little piece each. The cherry tomato is finished but the skin has dropped onto the tray of the cage. I think its not nice for them since the seed part which is the juiciest part has been removed, else I'm sure they'd finish it.

Yes, I will buy a bit of cherries and let them try. I am supposed to go out and look for mealworms today but then just remembered, no car. Car sent to service. Haih, stuck at home with 2 dogs and 2 gliders. Dogs downstairs, glider with me in the room. Later need to bring doggy for walk and shower them in the evening.

I think this post is long enough.

I think thats the ter-poop case la. gliders usually dont pee and poo in the place they sleeps.

My Teddy senang gile nak keluar. Go to cage, call his name, and he will pop out his head. Then you 'pancing' him by using mealworms/treats/yougurt on your finger. Bila dia nak dekat, you jauhkan lagi tangan you sampai dia completely out. Then you grab him. MUAHAHAHA~

Yeah, when Teddy was young he liked my hair too. Dunno why he doesnt lick my hair or groom them anymore. Maybe because I change my shampoo. Haha~

Yes, they will poop and pee in bonding pouch if you keep them in it too long. But usually they just tahan till you let them out.

this is definitely not a 8 weeks neither a 10 weeks joey...

come come!!! dare to argue this with me!!!

Added on May 26, 2008, 12:39 pmeasy way to wash: u go rendam your pouches with sabun for a night then next morning u just hand wash a bit with hand and rinse.. so easy...

then i think i will separated the mum with her baby when she born it, and laos daughter. let the father alone. btw, will the daughter disturb the new born baby??

erm.. i forget which website i refer b4.. but, for sure...the website say..better dun play "tug of war" wif ur glider, i means dun use "pancing"..coz they will turn more aggressive.. no offence towards emino..

i juz share wat i hav read b4.. but depent lo.. may b teddy is too tame.. so.. he wont b so aggressive like wat those website describe...

well, the baby casper is really in small size but yet he is the most active 1, he eat the most and also like me the most.. hmm..
about underage i think seeing the pic den judge him underage .. i not sure ..
but an underage joey's tails and feather should be wet wet and heavent finish develope rite ? (casper tail is very fluffy)..., colour of the nose is diff rite ? (casper's nose is in pink colour).., eyes also should'nt be big and round round guar..(casper eyes is always soooo big and i feel like wana gorek XD).. but i know he is small size compare with others but for me he more active then cindy which slightly older then him 2 weeks de..
nywayz, i will take good care of them..i still feeding them pet milk + slurp, they seems like it very much
