oi .. first of all .. im a human and ... im a guy la .. ape ni .. princess2 ...

Hiks.. just kidding la.. I mean short name for Princess Gizmo, I don want hav a same name with others. hee..

PG = parental guidance..
u sure u want to name her PG? haha..
i also want female suggies >.<

sharil, dig in somewhere here.. i posted something on steps u should do when bringing back new gliders..

the steps are good to prevent stress and makes the glider feel more like home and comfortable..

If the ear has bump at the edge, it could be like what jitshiong suspected, mites. If the ear is chipped off, could be mites infestation or due to injury. It's just our deduction and reasoning afterall and may not necessary be accurate.

It's never too soon to bring them see the professional docs..it the ears get harden, it can eventually fell off.

Just a little info on mite,
If it's mites infestation, an external parasite, then treatment with Ivermectin injection at the right dose. Oversose is deadly. And sugar gliders cannot ingest Ivermectin orally.

For a 1 kg guinea pig, the dose will be 0.2 mg/kg for mange mite. A very small dosage.

The weigh of glider is so much more nominal, it's an extremely fagile tiny critters, so the vet must really excercise prudence for Ivermectin concerned.

The vet should know what's best.

And, do update us on her progress.

Added on May 1, 2008, 9:47 pmA special dinner was made for my gliders.

Comprised of Rambutan, strawberries, cherries, blueberries as main ingredients. Rambutan is sweet but rather hard to find these days.

Secondary ones were some minor carrots, guava, tomatoes, leafy greens, rice cereal, wheatgerms..

Some eggs will be fine too.

Right now, just have some tough time making them comply for the kiwi yogurt. They are just hyper..

I prepared eggs too..
I chopped some carrots to tiny bits n mash it up with egg adding 1 teaspoon of strawberry yogurt and some meal worms mashed together with a fork..
yummy~ haha..
if no meal worm i think i would be happy to eat it..
just finish playing with Micah in the room.. letting them roam the room bit by bit daily..

Hahaha.. that's exactly what happened. One spoon of kiwi yogurt for them, each gliders. And one spoonful for myself. Hehe...
The yogurt is nice..
I can imagine what a happy Micah now..

yea.. me too.. although i dun really like strawberry but they love it according to ayiesz.. so i was like eating it while preparing.. haha..
Micah is close to me although he can be naughty at time.. but Joey is less bonded.. he is very afraid of light.. he's very shy too.. need to try n spend more time with Joey.. always when i want to take Joey out Micah would rush out too.. haha..

i have a Black beauty or a normal grey, i dont know... and a butter cream...
about other colors, i dont know but earlier in V5, there is someone who posted a dude with a white tip glider ..

thanks ming for the info.. i really hope can get one b4 TT.. hehe.. if not, still can go next TT rite??? hehe

there is always TT... you can alway meet up with sifus to gain more knowledge before you get one...

its worth the wait... no hurries bro... better wait and get a good one... a healthy one from responsible breeder....

Ok, ok thanks bonai .. I will search for it... I see dat my P.Gizmo always love when I massage her chin and head, she will show her 'stim' face reaction.

Congratz on your new girl.

Really no time to post nowadays. : p First Hun sick now my turn to fall sick. Apalaa.... lol

One day need to sit down and read everything then reply. lol

About newbies and under aged joeys,

When a newbie has not visited and read anything from here or done any research and bought an under aged joey on impulse/pity/(whatever reason he/she buys the joey), we do flame but we still guide them. We do it because we care and the buyer must understand that he/she has just contributed to those breeders that sell mainly for profit, causing more suffering.

But when a newbie has already visited and read about under aged joeys, seen the pictures, know who to ask etc, and yet the person still buys an under aged joey. The buyer is just begging glider lovers to flame and shoot at them. I'm not pointing fingers but one of these buyers even commented on a thread to do with under aged joeys.

Using 'I'm a newbie in gliders so I dont know' is not an excuse when he/she has already had access to information to do with this. It's the buyers responsibility to do research before considering buying any animal, we have already provided the 'brain food' in the 1st page for you, but don't expect us to spoon feed every detail. That's why a lot of members will say 'Please read the first page'. If we had all the time in the world to slowly repeat answers to the same or similar questions, the 1st page wouldn't exist. But if the questions are not commonly asked enough to appear in the FAQs or the first page, by all means, ask. We will reply when we see it.

------

One more thing about the milk that was brought in. Just because we have prepared milk nutritionally suitable for under aged joeys, does not give anyone an excuse to buy an under aged joey. It was brought in with the intention to help under aged joeys in emergency cases, not to help promote the purchase of them. Even though this milk is formulated for under aged joeys, it is not a perfect substitute for their mother's milk. Our source of glider replacent milk is very limited and I hope glider keepers will appreciate it rather than vice versa.

Whether anyone had this intention or not doesn't matter as this is a precautionary warning to anyone that may or may not have such intentions.
