hello, all brother n sister... i got one question tat i ask b4.. but not yet get any reply..refer to this page http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/680010/+500

or i ask again here... if my sugar glider can eat fruit n mealworms d.. do i still nid to feed them milk... i means pet own milk...

if you're asking bout your male, i would answer you need to nurse/feed him with milk.. meal worm doesn't contain as much protein as in milk.. further more, feed him with slurp too..

Do adult sugar gliders in their natural habitat need milk to survive? They don't.

But for newborn baby joeys, if they are with their mothers, there isn't a reason for the need of milk replacer.

But pets own milk is rich in nutrients and there's no harm supplementing it.

But if the joeys come to a certain age already, no need milk also can, right? What age would that be, that they're weaned or stop needing milk?

By the way, I messaged Hun a couple of days back and she told me to tell everyone that she does not have Internet access, so she will not be online. If there is any emergencies, please call her directly. Please cascade this information to anyone who need Hun's help.

How come nowadays dont see KP around much either... Is she too busy with her glider? I want to ask her about Suggiestuff!

okok.. get it.. thx ya.. bonai & silver

comparing gliders in captive with wild ones is unnecessary..

gliders in wild live up to 5-6 years only.. they dont have access to insects all the time and eat whatever they could to keep them alive..

further more how to compare in terms of supplements? they dont have multivitamins or such in the wild.. so is it unnecessary for them to take supplements since they don't take it in their natural habitat?

what about neutering then?

the main point is comparing gliders in few aspect is sometimes unrelevant..
gliders in captive tend to be healthier and live longer due to diets, environment & care..

wah... one day din log in, 5 pages already pass....so fast

I dont think there was any flaming
apparent irritation mhmm , sarcasm yep, flaming no

look around the multiple topics across pets wonderland, you will see the same style of posts by that user all over the place.
Its not so simple as just missing a word here and there. Its obviously a total lack of initiative and effort.
I agree with Bonai that it might be an attempt to increase post count.
Considering how wide my mean streak is, and how homicidal shes been making me over the weekend,
i think i was pretty polite.

baiknya hati encik.. terima kasih

hope to hear updates on how your joeys are doing..

you haven't seen glider kopitiam yet...

yeah, it confuses me too..
whether this girl really asking and learning or just what? huh..

Omg!! I love this pict! Just like baby just woke up with big big eyes looking for mommy!! I am still waiting for my joeys. They should arrive on the 24th this month!! Ooo!!

YES they will.

They bite and can even kill a human.

Muahahahahaha!



NO tying what-so-ever for a glider.

A fully bonded glider will not simply run off from you when you have them on your body and outdoors.

For further info, you can refer to the 1st page or read back some of the prev discussions.



Kindly refer above and the 1st page or read back some of the prev discussions for further info.



Then a glider is not a suitable pet for you.

Feeling scared of a glider will not help in the bonding process.



I think environment change and all is giving effect to Micah.

Also perhaps he is starting to show dominance sign.

If this persist, it could get worst, you should find an a way to separate them and re-intro. We do not want either of them to get hurt rite?

Do observe them closely.

Yes, neutering will help keep the dominance at bay.



Excuse me. Did I miss something?

I didn't see you mentioning about selling off your gliders pun?

If the discussion has be made elsewhere, it should not confuse other forumers(like me) by posting it here.

Please don't give up in keeping them. I know how you feel as I started of with my once ferocious Iggy... I almost gave up in the first 2-3 weeks!

Give them time. Spend time with them. Carry them wherever possible.

Once they come around, it is a priceless feeling.

Think about this, the more a glider is rehomed, the more baggage memory they carry... This will effect their personality in the future as they feel that they could not settle at one place permanently.

As for now, I would assume that Micah and Joey is at their 3rd or 4th home... 1) Breeder --- 2) Seller --- 3) Ayiesz --- 4) You...



Haizzz, discussion in msn please don't bring here... Other people(like me) will get confused cuz dunno head and tail



If once or twice is okay, just clearing their system like we do

But if continuous, then better bring for check up.



I thot it says Clearly - Mango???

Anyway, you really should read the first page lah, pineapple is acidic and should not be fed at a large amount like that.



Yes, Cim.

Thank you for pointing it out.

I thot I was the only one feeling kindda annoyed.



How old is the joey on milk?

If it is still less than 6-7 weeks Out-Of-Pouch, YES, feeding additional milk is still necessary.



Some joeys can wean a little early or later than other but generally it is about after 6-7 weeks Out-Of-Pouch.

Hello, I am here



Comparing wild gliders and captive breed some are irrelevant and some need to be considered.

In the wild they have shorter lifespan due to the diet, health care and predators.

In captivity, they can have longer lifespan if WE take good care of their diet, healthcare, providing extra supplements and keeping them safe from predators


KP

I'm sorry about that if it seems irrelevant to you with that comparison.

I will rephrase, Milk replacer seems to me as not a prerequisite but something very good as extra.

Don't ya think so?

Nice day

Nope, Nezu's suggies are big adults


KP

icic thanks for the info. =.=... well his SG is cute, wondering under his shirt and near... opps...
