Hi jitshiong,

Thanks for your advise. I believe you are right. There are just more than dust but bacterias in there which could be harmful. OK I will be more careful but it's risky considering places like under the bed, behind the cupboard, etc.

hi sifu sifu and everyone...i got problem here...my male sg is quite 'bonding' wif me(not really bond but can come to my hand if i wanna feed him) but the female one doesnt even bond wif me....the problem is,now(last nite),when i feed my male sg,he doesnt even want to come out from the pouch,just muncungkan mulut untuk makan je...but after a bite or two,he get inside the pouch again...then the female one crab..it happen for 5-6 times when i feed the male one....last few days also the female always crab when i feed the male...the food last nite i left,(1bowl of slurp,a few meal worm and 5 cuts of fragrance pear),only the slurp finished..the others untouchable...why?

Hello Suggie Mommas and Dads!

Finally back!

I've missed damn a lot of pages and really have no time to read all back, so if there is anything important directed to me while I was away, kindly rephrase it please Thanks yah!

Aizad,

It's quite normal for suggies to eat a lot one day and lesser the next day or so, if it prolongs for a few days eating less or not eating, then you should be worried...

You could try bonding more with your suggies to lessen the crabbing and such.

Don't encourage or teach them to eat from/inside the pouch, that could lead them to be pouch protective all the time.

Lure her outside or if possible, flop her out from the pouch(you know by turning the pouch inside out and popping her out )

Good luck

so malas to type this but i just tell la..

maybe because your glider is not active and most of the time sleeping so they wont need much food to restore energy and not hungry.. thats why they dont eat..

penny.. it's BEST to clean ur room and make sure dust won't stacked behind ur cupboard if u're letting them stray around ur room.. make sure tight corners won't be having dead cicak or roach as they will eat em.. =P hehehe my room is still a bit messy.. so no out for my Glynx.. now just stayin in the cage whenever she's at my place.. at my gf's place.. she will run around the bed area.. even my bed also she free roam.. then i will limit her if she tries to go down.. hehe =P

Added on May 7, 2008, 2:00 pmwhoi.. aper sifu ni.. cheh.. just sharing my info cause i been thru some experience only.. full info would be from Hun herself.. but sigh.. i also sakit hati see spirit's Glider SOOOOOOO small.. joh.. can't even crab.. walk also like wana jatuh like that.. even the eyes like just opened up only.. sigh..
spirit.. can u state the name of the breeder from mallacca so that nobody would go back there and buy from him d? not to 'chiong sui hei' but he really irresponsible to give u such a small glider.. really tiny.. the tail a bit longer than the body size also.. ai.. almost same..

Added on May 7, 2008, 2:05 pmhehehe i think mine now QUITE bonded with me d.. yesterday at pet shacks first time i see her soooooooooo sticky to me.. at first when she just woke up.. she darn blur one.. stoning all the wayyy.. and let people touch touch also.. then when she fully awake d.. omg.. whenever spel'it grab her.. she will jump back to me and masuk into my shirt.. hahaha not once.. not twice.. but like 5 time whenever somebody grabs her.. then she kept masuk into my pocket to sleep.. joh.. SOOO cute.. omg.. i'm so proud also.. hehehe.. =) hope she will bond to me much much more..

---

Added on May 7, 2008, 2:16 pmdude.. very easy and very hard also.. cause u need to do this one thing.. bring them out.. wit u.. alternately.. or both together.. always.. and what i mean is 'EVERYday' they don't get use to u yet i think.. wear them out like how u wear ur clothes man.. that's what i've been doing.. they are every single bits and pieces of my life now already.. and the defination u use that bond isn't bout that.. what bond means is that ur gliders will stay to u no matter what happens.. and they rarely will jump off from u.. that's bonded..

guyz.. i just went to pet safari just now.. sigh.. just saw a ugly sight.. as the toby pet area is under reno now.. and their shifted their area to another corner.. but that's not a problem.. the staff were feeding the pets just now.. and saw a dying guinea pig.. omg.. the staff.. don't care at all.. it was already lying down there leaving it to die there.. the staff took it out for a while.. leaving it on the table.. while preparing food for other guinea pig.. then she actually PLACE back the guinea PIG BACK to their tank after that.. leaving it there letting me notice that the guinea pig isn't a tame guinea pig but eventually a dying guinea pig and she don't even care to take it somewhere apart from the tank.. other guinea pig were sniffing it and isn't that contagious if the pet is havin some sickness.. and that it would eventually spread to other? OMG.. it's so Distasteful sight to see that.. i quickly walked away right after that.. should have taken a picture to let u all have a look at it.. sigh.. u be the judge.. i have my say already..

Bad idea actually. Since glider is a nocturnal creature, their eyes are sensitive to lights. Esp from that lamp. It can cause some permanent damage.

okay.. i juz put thee to take picture only... my glider not there yet.. dun worry.. thx for guild.

Thanks for bringing your questions up here.

I'd like to share my view.

There are a couple of things very wrong here.

First, the basking lamp you are using is actually a general heating lamp, they emit heat.

But if you are not careful, you will very lightly to overburn your critter, esp when your lamp is placed at such close distance. Even with star torts, the amount of heat must be carefully regulated to avoid overheating, dehydration and discomfort.

Sugar gliders are creatures with night vision and we have discussed previously that their eyes are extremely sensitive to light, even the normal candescent white fluorescent, it is still consider not suitable, but can be tolerable if place at certain height.

Even you decide to put a lid over the container but lights can penetrate through the sides.

To keep them warm, you can place them at a warmer place instead, at toom temperatere. And you can provide fleece pouches for them to sleep and keep warm. They will hardly catch a cold if you do this.

The best temperature for gliders is 70-90 Fahrenheit. That means, 21-32 degrees C. Our weather at Klang Valley range between 23-32 degrees.
This indicates that current tropical climate is fine.

Personally, i will never resort to put my gliders in a small container with a lid. In fact, i'm in the process of expanding my cage, a 5 x 7 ft will be good I'm a bit worried when you said you want to put them in the container.

Do what seems best to you yeah?

OK, I will try to clean my room at least this one time to ensure they are living in healthy if I let them out. I will supervise them closely if I ever let them lose. Some places are extremely hard to clean in my house.

Who is their atuk? Active is good... Passive is like unbonded and untrusting. Active is like... semangat!!

silverwineus explained it well, not advisable at all

duno the tools and trades of this.. seems that till now.. all these can't be done unless there's a great jail term for animal abuse.. they can fine.. but fine can't go up to 100k also..


hrm.. i think hun can answer u this.. she placed a heater bfore.. for her babies.. but NOT light one la.. what pet safari is doing is pure stupid.. dun follow them.. they place the exact same one on top of the tank.. and there's no coconut shell for them to hide.. just some lil newspaper onli.. and they place the gliders inside a tank.. glass tank.. and aii.. sad case la.. try to find heater 'without' BRIGHT lights.. that can heat up the cage.. or well.. the pouch.. ur gliders dun need a HUGE cage for now.. a hamster cage would be fine now.. cause they are small and need just that small place cause they dun roam around that much and the MOST important factor is heat.. ur hand heat.. ur neck heat and beat.. ur body heat.. u need to put tissue inside every pouch to let ur latest underage glider to really feel the warm.. try the heating pad from Osim.. that works too.. but make sure won't be tooooo hot la.. like milk warm enuff d.. like baby milk warm..

ur pet-own-milk must be tested like how u feed a real baby human also.. put on ur hand.. see warm or hot.. then taste it.. as i tasted it bfore.. haha make sure it's not sour.. and freeze it when u dun need it..
