Yups, males tend to be larger than females. I see that often. Some females grow larger, this could be due to the different Petaurus breviceps subspecies. I do have a male which is the same size with the female, and I have one which is larger than his mate.

If a glider stays at 1 place without moving, some of us call it stoning. What does it mean? Well, when an animal stays in 1 place without moving, just stay like a statue, it means stoning. It's like day dreaming a bit, in a daze. Nothing to worry about.

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

What's my gliders' daily diet? Everyday is something different.

Each morning I give mealworms. They love eating at night so I give more food at night. Actually I have posted this a few times already lah, can search mah. I also posted this in my blog on diets. Just give variety of fruits. There is no need to copy what I feed today and what I feed tomorrow. LOL, man, this is funny.

Actually I had wanted to know as well. I'm still feeding my gliders, 2 - 3 teaspoon of slurp in the morning, various fruits + mealworms in the evening. Once a week will be fruits + 1 dog kibble each. Slurp in the morning has not change and probably never change - same breakfast every time. I hope there's nothing wrong in doing so.

Nopes, nothing wrong with that. You can give the dog kibble everyday but make sure only 1.
Anyway, looking at adpost.... sad case to see people selling joeys at such an age.... super duper underage, like just OOP or open eyes but say 2 months old. Go and look.... pity those joeys.

OK, so gliderslurp every morning. For evening will be fruits + dog kibble or fruit + yogurt or fruit + baby food or fruit + mealworms.

I seldom give them mealworms nowadays because mealworms always die. I dont know why. I havent figure out how to filter the mealworm poo so the mealworms in the container with spots (which is actually their poo). I gutload them with green vege and kibbles for 48 hours before feeding but by the next 48 hours (4 days after buy), many would have died even though I took out the vege and throw it away to replace a new one... Why does this happen?

Anyone can advise?

Their nails are pretty pricky, esp for people who are unacquainted with nail trimming.

As for my suggies, they can't bear even few seconds to let me trim their nails for good, so i allow them to be vampire.

Looks like nail-o-matic derives its name from the fact it's "otomatik" nail trimmer.

At first i thought it was a nail clipper in ignorance when mentioned. Far from it, now i know it's a running track for their WW, sugar glider's manual treadmill.

Would hope to hear more feedbacks from those using it.

I certainly would get one to try!

Yea, I am considering Nail O' Matic also but RM60+ is kinda pricey for me now. I will want to trim their nails but I am very sure they wont let me. Hardly so attached yet but been trying. I am on leave tomorrow so I will bring them up to my room to play later.

Those that died are those that are contaminated..... so is good that they died. Use a sieve that people use for flour when baking. RM2 can get already or even cheaper.
*
Those that died are contaminated? Sure kah? Will they spread their contamination to those alive? Wouldnt that be harmful to the gliders? Yes, you told me about the sieve but I havent been able to find it except those that's made for cups. Problem with those are, I cannot leave the worms on top of the sieve and the sieve at the top of a tupperware .I need to find a sieve where it can fit right into the middle part tau-foo-fah container and that size is pretty hard to find. The middle part, not the cup so that the worms wont climb out because after filling the vege, it becomes pretty full.

How to use sieve to screen out dead mealworms from the live mealworms? Can??
*
silverwineus, the sieve is used to separate the mealworm poo from the mealworm. Mealworm poo is like sand ma. Sieve will work but it's hard to find a sieve that fits into a container. Most comes with a handle that can be fit into the top of a cup / bowl.

How come?

Only Mealworm in wet condition cannot tahan, but normally mine can last very long, kurang pun one week lebih..
*
I really have no idea. They are not in a wet area. I put them next to the sink (quite far away) and I open the cover for ventilation. There is fan blowing my glider and the container to hold the mealies are just nearby. I also dunno why mine dont last for 5 days even.
