Platforms and stairs are good but I wouldn't recommend coroplas lah cuz it's flat and they cannot grip on it...

Since you are welding up the cage, mebbe use some mesh for the platform perhaps?

I overheard my Mengchai barking and he woke me up before 6 am.

He is my alarm clock.

Can refresh myself on my maths with his company, so nice, and nothing like enfolding in this wonderful lovely tune and animal in the morning.. smile.gif

To all learners out there, life is wonderful!

any1 got recipe for eggs??
mine aren't eating their eggs.. i mash them up with meal worms but they not eating.. if i mash with mango it will smell in like 1-2 hours time..
any ideas?

silver~ i hate maths!! got math exam in like 45mins..

I'm looking forward to "someone's part 2 punya story".. want to know the ending.

Just mix "just a little egg" in their daily variety of mixture diet. By this way, they won't notice it la right?

Maths is something you pay attention in the class and complete the practise sheet/homework given, you will encounter no problem, straightforward.

You will love it when you are able to use it in real life, for eg when you need to calculate pipe sizing with given parameters. It comes handy.

But i have no interest for anything like law or management stuff, i can't remember the details.

Hai, Sifu's....

I wanna ask something to all sifu's here.

What suitable time actually for us bonding with our suggie? I ask dis because ...

My suggie P.Gizmo, she's always damn active and crazy in the morning about 9 - 12 a.m, before dat time she's just damn active, sometimes just active and sometimes cool. unsure.gif

At 9 - 12 a.m, for me its a perfect time for us to bond because dis human time, but my suggie looks really active and when bonding she will run all over my body and at last she's will play at my neck , back actually and she's like crazy nibble at my neck at the back. Sometimes look scare like she wanna bite it, if I'm not say NO she look really wanna bite but I thing she's just nibble, I dont mean I scare with bite but she's really damn crazy if play with her at dis time. sweat.gif .

But at 10p.m , dis time she's quite slow, active but not active like time above, I always feel safe at dis time if bonding with her. wink.gif

Main point here, Are all gliders like dat or it because she's still not hav chemistry with me? biggrin.gif
*
I think not all are like yours, starting off with a sprint and then come to exhaustion later..

I think a reasonably suitable time for us and suggie to bond is anytime except their sleeping hours, i will give my suggies quality sleep and good rest.

Bond with her at the time you feel safe..

Many times we need to accomodate to our suggies.

I'm not sure if this is a good suggestion, if your suggies seem to be really hyper, as sometimes mine do, bond with them in your glider room, let them hyper in the enclosure, they can choose to either jump on you or hop to the surroundings. It will relieve you some stress on supervision.

When they cool down, you can let them stay close and bring them to other area.

silverwineus might spend at double cost as she's a glider lover and i tryst she'll do anything for her glider..

btw hun, later on please update on time of the talk.. not all of us are free the whole day.. so knowing exact time would be much better.. glider owners will be there to support you! let's go! let's go!

Yes, it will be more costly, but for the fun of it, yo'r right, i just don't mind spending more.. hehe

But is not the financial that matters, is my throbbing head now..

After the weld yesterday, the back of my head has such chronic pain and today i'm recuperating at home.

Haha..even an enormously aggresive badminton won't even drive me to headache but this is exceptional.

I'm poisoned by the fume.

Yesterday work didn't go well, the precision is out by 5 mm..so i have to grind the parts and dismantle the pieces and START ALL OVER..

The acceptable tolerance should +/- 1 mm..

I actually have one exactly the same cage in my home for multi purpose, it is actually very general for use. It can be for small bunnny or even birds, but depending on the type of birds, some birds type like canary and love bird can employ such cage. In some pet stores, they use to display the various kind colourful birds using this type of particular cage.

Inbreeding should not be encouraged for most animals unless for special reasons.

From Wikipedia:

Inbreeding is breeding between close relatives, whether plant or animal. If practiced repeatedly, it leads to an increase in homozygosity of a population. A higher frequency of recessive, deleterious traits in homozygous form in a population can, over time, result in inbreeding depression. This may occur when inbred individuals exhibit reduced health and fitness and lower levels of fertility.

Inbreeding may result in a far higher phenotypic expression of deleterious recessive genes within a population than would normally be expected. As a result, first-generation inbred individuals are more likely to show physical and health defects, including:

reduced fertility both in litter size and sperm viability
increased genetic disorders
fluctuating facial asymmetry
lower birth rate
higher infant mortality
slower growth rate
smaller adult size
loss of immune system function.

This above statement may be hard to understand, so i will simplify it then.

Simply said,
Alleles is what will determine the phenotype or characteristic, for eg brown eyes.

Paired alleles (one on each of two paired chromosomes). One allele from each parent.

If these paired alleles are the same, meaning dominant and dominant or recessive and recessive, then they are called homozygous. If they consist of dominant and recessive, then it’s called heterozygous.

We don’t encouraged inbreeding because inbreeding leads to increase of homozygosity - same alleles.

The bad thing is,
if the frequency of recessive, deleterious alleles are high, then it will lead to inbreeding depression, in over time

Added on May 15, 2008, 6:17 pmIn heterozygous, the recessive allele gene will not express.

1st June. Please head over to Ikano. It is Petster's Small Animal Day!!!! Bring your hamsters, gliders, ferrets or any animal that is easy to carry around.

There will be glider talk on 31st May and 1st June. Both days also same talk by me. But I would say let us make a glider gathering on 1st June since it is a Sunday.

What time is the big event? Sorry for this ridiculous question..hehe

The 1st June gathering is NOT at Pet Safari, it's at the Petster small animal event. I think it should be taking place at the same area as last time... The little outdoor area between IKEA and IKANO adjoining area... Right Hun?

Hopefully this little outdoor corner is not difficult to spot.. smile.gif

Can anyone advice me on this?

Should i opt for the plastic mesh or coated steel wire mesh for my cage?

Will they be able to bite the plastic mesh and escape?

Which better? smile.gif

At first i think coated steel is more durable and firm.

But suddenly today i bumped on a very nice pattern plastic one, and some more in my favourite blue..

Therefore it's hard to retain single-mindedness..hehe

Since steel will rust in time, maybe should consider plastic..

O..a tear in the membrane..anyway we can't prevent them from stretching. I think it will somewhat affect gliding as their membrane is the instrument. You want to bring it see doc? But you can't put antiseptic cream on them, they will lick too..

What cause it to happen?

Practise makes perfect..

After a week of cutting, drilling, grinding and welding steel, i have gained satisfaction with the progress of building my own glider cage.

This time, the work is great and obtain very good precision.

But it has to be postponed due to oversea trip again.

Even though my gliders are not very special ones, but they are very special to me. smile.gif
