Poor girl. She wasn't pouch train with the breeder. She is good outside, but very protective over her pouch. Yes, she is only comfortable when there is another glider around. Take your time to train her lah She is a sweetheart.

Hahaha... Vicky is cute. She would grow up to be pretty good size as she looks like her big bro, my Kimba. Hehehe... from same breeder but I just adopted Vicky's parents so I'll show you a pic of her handsome dad called Gizmo. Mama is called Sugus and she is a shy soul. Gizmo got cleavage!!!! Like got boobs! LOL

It will take training. I didn't train her yet. After I ambik, straight bagi you coz I know you can't wait for her heheheh.

Wah, besarnyaaaaa..... 2 gliders only? I see everything also double, double red wheel lah, double black sleeping pouch lah.... only hammock single je heheheh.

Wow, healthy dinner. You manually chopped the chicken and pear up till that fine?

Hahaha... wow, really dedicated. My gliders, I cut them into half inch cubes coz they love to take a piece and run off to some part of the cage to eat. Then when it falls, it won't go through the cage bars. So far that works for me.

You either attach as a file to your post or you use photobucket or imageshack.

Wah, belum do your mix? SLURP already at Pet Epicure along with GliderFRUITSICLES. Sorry ah, late delivery due to transport.

Far right if walk from Pyramid? That's why I always take taxi and that is why I'm always broke sob sob...

If your gliders are getting enough moisture from their food, they would rarely drink.

Anyway, no coleslaw or mashed potatoes or any human food that has been mixed, seasoned and processed till it is not natural anymore. It's ok to give normal boiled potato and raw carrots and cabbage. Coleslaw is mixed with mayonnaise, which contains oil, salt, egg, sugar, starch and preservatives. Mashed potatoes contains oil, salt, pepper... and the brown sauce could be a sauce made with onions. All this is bad for any small animal. Even cheese is bad.

Wow, luckily she didn't jump into your marine tank. Sometimes I do get such extreme cases when Kimba decides to run out and visit my dogs. It makes my heart jump out of my mouth.

Awww.... that's cute. You should install a camera to catch them doing that. Would be super amazing.

Pity them. This is cause of profit and impulse buyer demands.

WWF can't do much.... this is more like SPCA kinda job but the SPCA in Malaysia got no power to do anything also. Our wildlife law sucks.

Mounting board? That is gonna soak up pee. Celotape could cause harm coz it is sticky and if they chew it, dunno what the glue would do to them.

Alot of the staff do not know the correct age of gliders because the supplier and their boss give them wrong info. Pity those joeys. We think the joeys at PS are roughly 4 weeks old or less.

Yer.... kesian... then we cannot do anything about it.

The fibrous stuff is the pulp. Don't worry, it is natural. As my food is homemade, the pulp is natural. Some gliders would eat everything, some would spit out the pieces that are dry. Glad your Judy likes it. Now there is GliderFRUITSICLES at Pet Shack.

Wah... you saw it beranak ke?

Resize using photoshop.... or you upload as attachment loh.

Luckily you manage to find it. I think you will heart attack if tak jumpa it.

Nail O Matic, I can't comment on this coz I trim my glider's nails myself.

Yes, it would taste sour. Smell... not so... you gotta taste it. If it has gone very bad it would smell like sour milk. Why? You didn't keep it in the freezer?

Barking means calling lah. It is normal if they stop when you go to them.
Please feed other type of fruits. Is not because of bored.... if you feed only apples, takda nutrition yang lain, which can lead to malnutrition later. Feed at least 3 types of fruits and veggies a day.

Bonded means they won't bite, won't struggle if you catch them, won't jump away if you hold them and not afraid of your touch.

If it is not frozen for a day, it's ok. The Slurp would turn bad after 4 days if you leave it in the fridge part. If freezer, it can last a month to 2 months.

The joeys are wet coz they do not know how to groom themselves, then eat apples only. And the joeys are not properly weaned and have not learned how to pee and poo properly, so they do it on each other. That is why wet. Some would get wet coz of the apple being too big for them to hold so they have to "hug" the apple.

Wah, Apple and Mac hehehe. Nice names.

Each glider has their own individual routine. Some would adapt to their colony or partner's routine as well but it depends. Like for my 4 in a cage, only Kinta would wake up in the afternoon to eat a bit and drink some water then sleep. For my Keera, not in the cage lah but living in my room, her routine is different. She is awake around 1am, then she would sleep at around 3am.... then wake up again at around 5 or 6am and play around. Then she sleeps and wakes up at 11am.... then she sleeps after an hour and would sleep till 1am.

Don't just jump into the wagon coz it's cute. PLease read up and research on this pet to see if it is the right pet for you and if you have the commitment or not.

Each glider have different ways of being bonded. One way is scent marking your body by leaving trails of pee. If pee and poo at one go on you, that is just normal, not really a sign of bonding but more like using you as a toilet coz that is how they treat their favourite tree. If they scent mark you like leaving droplets of pee on you, rubbing their head and chest on you, then that means it is showing you that you are part of it's family.

Jumping back on you, not all gliders do that. Kiah is so laid back that when she is on humans, she won't really jump away. She rather crawl on to your arm or hand. If Kapi, she is super adventurous so she would jump at other things that has caught her interest. Keera is the naughty glider as she would jump on everyone and anything to explore but she would jump back to me. If they are comfortable with their surroundings, then they would rather explore than be on you. Just let it be.

It really takes time. ggMing's glider can would jump back on him is it feels insecure in a new place. My Kiah and Kapi won't really jump away if they feel insecure.

Being scared is a different thing. Normally when a glider is scared, they would either jump back on their owner or hide in their pouch. Why? Secure, well known by them and they know there is no danger if hide in pouch or on you.

If you keep a glider in the same room with a parrot, it would freak it out coz gliders do not like high pitched sounds from parrots and also the flutter of feathers. Also, if a glider manages to free range, and climbs on to the parrot's cage, then most likely the parrot would attack it. I never keep my gliders with my birds and parrots, all in separate areas of my home.

Funny, you said you read all about it already, then why do you ask? 1st page already listed diets. My blog already listed diets.... I'm still puzzled with what you have been reading.

Not all youtube videos shows you the proper ways of caring and feeding gliders. If I were you, I would stop watching youtube and read more from wikipedia, sugar glider websites that are in the 1st page and also in my blog. Those are proven facts and advice from experienced breeders and researchers.

If you want to get a joey from a breeder, then there is a waiting list. Look at my sales thread to see the terms and conditions. Even Bonai also got terms and conditions.

Also, you shouldn't rush in getting. Many people I know really take their time and wait for breeders to get them healthy joeys with quality rather than getting from a supplier or unethical breeder or unethical petshop that sells poorly conditioned underage joeys.

If you are so into gliders, then best is you read this whole thread from 1st page till last. I know many other new keepers or those waiting to get a joey have done this.

My goodness.... your questions all are like from people who never research yet at all. You don't even know their natural sounds. Please please, I really really beg of you to go and do your homework on sugar gliders. They are not some play thing where you can buy one today coz cute and ignore them a few weeks later coz they do not bond with you or bite you or run away. They are totally different from pets like hamsters, need a whole lot of care and attention. Most of us even turned nocturnal a bit since we gotta play with our gliders. Are you willing to do that?

Superb! You really have done your homework. Good good, looks like you are nearer to your dream of having a joey. Hahaha.... gerbils of course can get away with but glider harder coz of their various sounds at night. Later people thought you keeping puppy if the glider barks.

Good question.... I would say why get a pet at all? Coz anything with a mouth can bite if they are scared. Even humans.

True, handling a glider first would be good. Followed by tonnes of reading hahahah.

Actually, it won't be too small if you get a 8 week OOP joey. At that age, they are already independent, can explore and be adventurous. Some people make the mistake of purchasing extremely small cages coz they thought joeys not active.... more like if you have an underage joey, then of course not really active and underage joeys should not really have a cage but an incubator to keep warm.
If you wanna get the 3ft cage, then it is fine too coz sometimes you would need a spare cage if you are traveling. But it's up to you lah.

Memang is a good idea. Smaller cages are good for traveling. Gliders can get used to traveling but it takes time to adjust. I'm now boarding Kerell's joey and spe'il's joeys. All of the joeys had a first bad day. Have no appetite, kept staying in pouch, don't wanna leave their pouch and kept being around their owner's smelly shirt. This is the drawback with a change in environment and owners. That is why I told you earlier that it would be best if you and your sis bond equally with the gliders, then you won't really have this problem.

Haha... your monsters were ok I guess coz got 4. But they did miss you. Spe'it's CK and KC really miss her, especially KC coz she don't wanna come to me but always hang near the shirt. CK ok lah, he come and check me out, would be the first to eat. At night bark for owner.... really miss her like crazy.
Today Kerell taking back his joey ahahah. He said the joey doesn't eat slurp.... but last night ate hehehe.

Glider poop? It's poop lah. Size? Like cicak lah. My gawd.... you don't have to ask such questions if you really like the animal.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, updates on baby Ringo, who is gonna be renamed as Bubba heheheh. 21 days OOP, super adorable already. Crabs and hisses less when I handle him now.

Enjoy

Added on June 11, 2008, 9:22 pmIf you guys realize, Ringo's size is the same with those at Ikano. So you can imagine how young they are. Ringo's tail is fuzzing up a bit, as you can see, his size is almost the length of my handphone already.

Wah, sounds so tasty. Yesterday I fed the last of my blueberries, along with orange, apple, pear, sweetpeas, french bean and carrots.

HAhaha... this adults won't really do. Mostly underage joeys would do this hugging thing coz they are scared and clingy. Ringo is only 21 days old, compared to your Luna and Moka, they are older. This is why people buy and are attracted to underage joeys, they are clingy but people never realise just how bad and wrong it is to buy underage joeys.

Bukan confuse. Sometimes gliders got mood wan. Coz they are like children, can merajuk one day and manja the next.

They miss you so much. CK is not so shy, would always greet me every night when I feed the night meal. KC would always be near your shirt. I'm sure when you come back, they will be happy like crazy.

Not necessary. It is more for adults and also for joeys that have not trusted their owners yet. It is actually a perfect tool for bonding lah but if you have a glider proof room, then it is as good too. I use my room to do bonding.

Wah, how she play catch? You must take a video lah.
