LOL.... like comparing Kapi to Kiah..... anyway, now my Kapi and Kiah have become glider ambassadors at Fluff. Hehehe.... they enjoy it there in their glider room.

Your Teddy memang never crab before since joey when he was with me.... the oddest joey of all LOL.

Some gliders do not like the taste of boiled chicken. Tak apa lah.... that's why my GliderSLURP got chicken hahahah.

Veggie Biitez no free 1 week trial loh.... it is already a very successful flavour. The trial would be my new products, which I will be distributing free trials to anyone who wanna try out. Of course it is all safe since I use human grade quality ingredients, summore organic punya hahahah.... Wait lah.

That is cheap. I also want PVC chains....

Added on September 8, 2008, 12:16 pmKesian rite? The joeys there are mainly underage, that is why bulu also not lebat enough. Shaking coz all cold and also from starvation. Sigh.... I dunno when will they learn. They still take those underage joeys even when can say almost 1 joey dies in their care each week, and a majority of their buyers actually call me or ask me why their joeys from there die....

Well, they stay there during weekends. So far now testing the room, so I let them stay for 2 weeks but I go and visit them too. They love the ropes, hammock, the overall climbing friendly room. Later you guys can come and check it out.

It's ok. Maybe I can come by your place to take. I'll check with you the time and day later.

Of course she would eat bayam heheheh.... coz it is included in my Veggie Biitez. I include 4 to 5 seasonal veggies I can get, along with fruits. This gives extra nutrients coz veggies contain alot of good vitamins and minerals but gliders don't eat. Veggie Biitez became successful after 3 experiment mixtures..... Always tak jadi coz of the taste, gliders do not like until now.

You can give sawi, kang kung, green peas, snow peas.... some won't eat. Mine all love frozen green peas and those sweet snow peas.

Well, can say is that if you let them go wild in your room, sure your room become their playground and jungle hahaha.... but then if you keep in a cage then it is easier and cleaner. Bedding we use breeders celect, which is very good so far.

Aurion already told you his experience. By read the 1st page and going through the forum, can learn alot. Just be prepared from some noisy nights.

Memang already out. Very fast sold out only LOL.

Yah loh. Sorry ah... today too many things came up

LOL, jumps on everything and make everything fall off tables and cupboards rite? That's why Keera can wake me up every night.

Last night I got a scare, coz Keera didn't muncul during her normal 1am waking hour. I was sooooooo worried.... call her and look at cupboards. Thought she went missing. Mana tahu she go and sleep in my old cap, sleepy sleepy poke her head out to see me at 5am! What a cacat time.... then she went on playing until just now 9am, then she slept, then woke up at 1pm just now..... sigh.... she again change her timing.

Next week I will be very free, so we can go yum cha lah.

Well, it's a display unit for gliders. We created it at Fluff to be glider safe, comfortable and spacious.... only meant for gliders while we watch from the outside hahahah.... it's something new, I haven't officially ask people to come view yet.

Well new member, we do not support buying livestock, but Toby pets is just good for normal supplies. Did any of us say

"Hey everyone! Go get joeys from Pet Safari!"

Did we? The pouches are there to at least give a decent home for the joeys bought there. The joeys would still die if they are too sick but it is not caused by the pouches, more like lack of knowledge from buyer and also the staff's eagerness for sales. I realize you only quote me and KP.... so I know what is happening.

If you lose faith, then go on right ahead. We do not mind, as we know there have been bad rumours going around because of some sour grapes here.... let it be.

Gliders have sharper nails.... coz they use for climbing. Gerbils dig, so their nails are not as sharp, needs to be firm and sturdy for digging. Gliders have curved nails like cats, coz they need to climb and grab on stuff, which can cause scars, scratches and itchiness(allergy) if we do not trim their nails.

I will try and get a map up. You stay near there?

Oh, so you are leito's friend. Sorry ah, he called but I was in an exam. It is high possibility to be infection. Your glider is overgrooming the pouch area due to itchiness. If she bites and chews, it means she is annoyed with the pain or stinging sensation.

Have you tried washing with detol water? Use a wet cotton bud and clean the area a bit. It has to be mild.

Depends.... if it is wild, usually around RM150.... if it is tame, it can be Rm250 onwards.

Sometimes sitting down to talk doesn't work for some people. Anyway, I'm also pissed with such things happening in this forum already. It is sad to see people, especially glider people bickering over small matters. It is worst for them to accuse people. Anyway, sad to see you and the other members stop chatting here.

People either feel jealous, or just wanna push people to their limits.

Anyway, I too appreciate this thread to be clean. If nezu wanna talk about pet shops, she should just continue in her pet shop thread that she created long ago.

Try feeding Frey a drop of fish oil twice a week. You can mix into Slurp or feed with a drop of honey. Then take wet wipes to wipe her down, then dry her with powder.

Har? Wet bath is not really safe for their health in the long run.

No.... it is best not to keep fish oils mixed with other things overnight. This is according to Dr Jenny as she said fish oil can rot, and cause everything to turn rancid. It is best you give it by mixing it on the day you wanna feed.

You can always take the pill heheh.... or just keep the capsule in a small air tight container and keep in the fridge. Just use a needle to prick a small hole to squeeze out the oil.

Neuter him lah.... then is sure less smell wan

Coz the musk can't be helped. It is natural for them to scent mark. The more you clean, the more your boy would make it stinky LOL....

Some males are dominant. My Kimba is like that. The only way for you to help your female eat better.... and really, you have to do this or your female will not be able to be healthy and strong.

You gotta get 3 food bowls. Even you only have 2 gliders, dominant males tend to hog the food bowls alot. Put all 3 bowls in different locations of the cage. This helps the female eat better. I do this and it works.

Ferret is stronger smelling than gliders.

Kuantan.... hmmmm.... I'll check if I got any friends going there. I only have friends going to Melaka weekly..... anyway, I will be producing a dry mix, instant so you can get it easily. Do wait yah, if can, PM me your address and I will give you some free trials to try.

Well, it is best not to bath them lah.... you do not use soap rite? Coz if soap, it can strip away the protective oils.

I only bath gliders if they are very dirty or were involved in a sticky accident.

All gliders scent mark, but it is the male that scent marks more. Females just go around with droplets of musky pee....

One way is to give the cage a wipe down with a wet cloth every few days.

It's the yogurt. Coz yogurt can cause watery poo and you fed grape, so it would cause the poo to be softer. Grape is not really advisable to feed. Best you give some of our tropical fruits. My gliders love ciku, rambutan and nangka.

Pet Epicure is at Taman Melawati. I think they would be open. I double check for you. What stuff you wanna get?

Rep-Cal, if you get the Green Label then it is the same with Glider-Cal... Why? Coz both have no added vitamin D3. just pure non-dairy calcium. It doesn't matter which one you got, both brands can be used.

Hi
Cage... well, we do weekly or monthly washings, depends on how rajin some of us are hahahah.... but then wiping, I tend to do every few days. Gliders like to pee along the cage bars, so it can stain and stink. Poo is normally dropped into the tray, so we put old newspaper or breeders celect as litter for the poo.

of course it is better to have 2.... coz they are nocturnal. Actually, they can get love from humans IF the human has the same sleeping time and waking time everyday for the next 10 years of the glider's life. Would you do that? Hahaha.... not many would, it is really tiring. Also, they are vocal so they love to talk, the way we talk and the way gliders communicate is different, so it is always better to have 2. Doesn't need to be a male and female pair. Sisters or brothers or single sex pairs are better.

You can just Google to find out. There are many online like Leadbeaters, BML.... Bourbon..... just remember that a glider should not have too much sweets in their diet... and sweets meaning honey. So browse and look, experiment on your glider.

Grapes can be fed.... but it is just better not to only.

There is little research on sugar gliders, and quite a small amount of animals cannot take grapes. Like for dogs, it can cause kidney failure. Through what I have read, there is a risk of gliders getting kidney issues.... I have read a number of glider breeders and keepers overseas who have stopped giving grapes.

But you miss out one thing.... grapes are watery fruit, which means when you couple it with yogurt or another watery fruit, you are bound to get watery poo.

Well, Glider university can be a bit extreme.... it really is not toxic but intensely sweet because of the high amount of honey. Honestly, when I first had gliders, I made BML and my Kiah hated it.... funky smell. So that is why I came up with GliderSLURP, a safer diet supplement.

What happened in US was that when gliders 1st became pets, everyone was scrambling about for a diet to give them. It was hard to give a natural diet, so people started using possum diets.... like Leadbeater's possum diet. Soon new diets show up as each breeder wants to create the perfect mix. People thought honey is the best.... but then the sugars in honey causes a glider to be fat. Also, this diet caused Lumpy Jaw as when they eat too much sugary stuff, their gums are weaken. When they eat something hard, then for sure sores form in their mouths.

According to a UK breeder, it is best we omit honey from our gliders diet. We also should give 1 or 2 kibble a day. My gliders love cat kibble, I use EaglePack dried catfood for them. I did try those glider food that overseas people use, and they don't really like it. I suspect the taste is not right but I am also not so keen since some products contain soy protein. Soy has been known to cause some health problems in gliders if eaten too much.

If needed, find agave nectar, so much healthier and it is better than any sugar in the world for humans.

What kinda food? Did you not research on diet? 1st page already have a list of fruits that can be given. Do not only rely on apples. Also, click my signature, got GliderSLURP, which is a glider supplement that can help with growth and health.

The key is to feed as much as it can eat, if it is fruits lah. If SLURP, only 1 tablespoon a day will do.

Post a picture please. Some sellers are not honest with the age.... by posting a picture, we can help you.

No, you should not give HL milk.

Do PM Reanne, she just bought a supply of milk that is very nutritious, more nutritious than Pets Own milk. It has colostrum and higher in protein.

Well, they poo and pee whenever and wherever they like. There is no same area.... and yes, they do pee and poo in bonding pouches if you have put them in for too long and did not let them out. Can roughly say they can poo and pee every hour or so. It really depends on the glider coz I have one that poo and pee very frequent, while another not so frequent.

What milk you got that is strawberry? it sounds really weird....

Well, if she eats, then it should be fine.

Awaiting pics.

Well, 1 tablespoon is the best.... my gliders can eat finish 1 tablespoon. But if say you mix with veggies and fruits, then don't have to be 1 tablespoon lah.... for me is coz morning I feed Slurp, night I feed fruits.... so this kinda gets them to finish up their food.

Big mealworms? Most likely super worms.... not every glider eats at first. Some are scared LOL.... it takes them some time to learn to eat.

Some people may wanna buy dried mealworms.... but then to me it is quite waste of money coz 80% of mealworms is water... so what is left is 20% skin and some innards. The best mealworms are fresh live mealworms. Why? Coz we gutload them, they get additional nutrients and their moisture content is nutritious.

Well.... it is best not to. Why? Coz you don't wanna make her tummy too full for fruits. You can feed to 2 tablespoons, no problem wan. Just that it is better to stick with 1 tablespoon, so that whatever appetite she has, she can save it for the fruits.

There is no maximum feeding. Just better to feed 1 tablespoon so the rest of her appetite can eat other stuff.

Anyway, I will be producing a new product soon. Gonna be 100% veggie and fruit base, so it means can eat as much as the glider wants to coz it is very good for them. Wait lah, I will hand out samples later on.

What we normally do is stuff the pouch with a few pieces of tissue. The tissue would act as a bedding and also to absorb the pee. Well, if your glider is asleep in the pouch, then it won't pee and poo inside.... but when you are carrying the pouch and you feel it has woke up, then take out and let it pee and poo before it goes to sleep again. This would take some time to get used to.

When you play with them, they won't really have much appetite for treats or kibble. Gliders would look forward to mealworms than anything else.

For treats, you can get dried fruit treats for hamsters. Other is yogurt. As for kibbles, go for a high quality cat kibble like Eagle Pack or Orijen, make sure holistic. Gliders love it and it is nutritional for them but limit it to 2 pieces a day.

Why are you talking without knowing? Please do not dirty my products or my name here.

I don't even advertise my own flavours here. Rules more strict? It has been like that since the past 2 years.... you are doing alot of advertising.... Last warning here. No sorry sorry.....

How come your glider is so choosy? My gliders eat everything.....

Anyway, yes, leave the fruits overnight. Meaning you put 10pm, you clean it up at 6am or 8am.... coz they do not eat everything one shot, need to eat slowly.

See lah, I got many new things to offer Just waiting for free time to produce.

Some people may ask how come our gliders in Malaysia look smaller and are lighter.... one thing.... amount of food eaten. We are a hot and humid country, so gliders got no urge to bulk up in fat. Also, we feed them healthy food, with no added simple sugars, so that is why they appear lean and healthy. Saw a few overweight ones before, is coz the owners feed kuaci.... tsk tsk.... gliders are not hamsters hahahah.

Cat kibbles come in big packs.... so it's kinda hard.... if you want, I can repack a bit of mine and give you some.

No need to soften it. The cat kibble is not as hard as dog kibble, a bit crunchy and softer. The abrasiveness of the kibbles helps with cleaning their back teeth.
