i tried pear , water jambu , apple , and sweet plum . the worse is apple , she din even bother ! ( but i also dun like apple . hehe )
and among that only pear she finish it , water jambu i squeeze into juice only she take it. sigh

however is it okay to leave the fruits overnite ? or only feed it the next morning ?

hmm all u can give as a backup is :


Insectivore-Fare
Its Non Halal ya for Muslim
and suitable for who that like to travel with their glider

other than this, should be treats la. what else

edit edi, i didnt notice the rules is getting tighter nowdays
sorry hun

overnite? normally ok, but how do u measure ur overnight? for me, "overnight" is like from 2am to 11am

correcting my statement!
Gliderade & Pure Acacia Gum is a supplement

Insectivore Fare ive tried edi, and yup the eat it. But Pure Acacia Gum and Gliderade, i havent tried it before.

hahah, so nice la u, come help me also, please please please!!

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.

Ok Hun! Thanks! I think I will give her slurp in the morning and fruits at night then. I want her to put on more weight.

And I hope your new 100% fruit + vege product comes out soon. I feel I'm giving too little variety to Frey... (although actually is a lot. )

About the cat kibbles, can I ask what is the smallest size, best brand and price? Cuz I only have 1 suggie, which is Frey. Also wondering if I can feed some to my syrians. I don't want it to expire before it finishes.

And the cat kibbles, do we have to soften with water before giving?

yes i hv all of them necter supplement 2 times a week. gum i add in their mix daily

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.

Lol, as soon as your exam finish you start yar. Cuz excited already.

Yay, thanks Hun! Been thinking how to get some kibbles cuz I don't have a cat. Now also still wondering. Cuz I can't live off your cat kibbles for as long as I have Frey.

Can always use the extras to feed the stray cats..

@crazymouse
How do you define a glider proofed room?

^ Lol, my parents will scold me for feeding high quality expensive cat food to cats. Later they chuck me out to stay with the strays and I have to eat the cat kibbles.

Got anywhere will sell small packet holistic cat food?

I dont think wat hazzy did was advertising. he just wanna share good product with everyone. i tot this thread is for us to share our knowledge to give everyone's suggie a better life? what he gets if ppl here start to buy smoothie? he earn money? not even 1 cent.. he is just trying to share a product which he used and found out that it is good.. no hard feeling if anyone here have problem with my statement, feel free to find me n hazzy to talk bout it personally as we are not suppose to discuss/flame any petshop/members here.

No prob. Exam is gonna finish on this coming Monday.

LOL, feed the extra strays....

Glider proof means no holes to escape about, no exposed electrical outlet, safe from aerosol and pesticide.... erm.... make sure no chemicals are exposed and also no glass... later glider go and push everything off the table hahaah.

Pet Shops may give samples....

It's enough he post 1, but so many? He edited but I still have to warn him because he over do it. Then the whole thread would be about the products he promote than honest glider discussion. I know he doesn't earn anything but it is the same, promoting. Do any glider keepers go around promoting like that even though the know there are such products? No coz they know the rules. Actually, it is also not allowed in Hamster thread but I close one eye only.....

I bought repacked cat food (IAMS) for my mealworms and it lasted quite long. Got it from genting klang pet shop. But not sure about expensive cat foods though..

If that's not considered advertising then what was it?

Ahaha, we must love all animals mah. even strays.

Hmm, one day must bring u to my house and show u my room, then u let me know whether can make it glider proof or not.
Cause jamien say my room have one huge space under the bed (bunk bed). T__T

My gliders also go under my bed.... but they rather play out like on my curtain or inside my unused printer LOL.

Anyway, here are some pics.

Kapi dear



Kapi on top, and Kiah at the bottom


Their personal space. Needs more decor and also ramps heheheh.... still in progress.

OH MY GOD IT'S SO HUGEEEEE.

But under my bed got storage boxes and....uh. alot of dust. ><
and my floor got that...floor fan. alot of wires cause my mom put the old computer in my room.

lol, paiseh ask samples all the time. But no choice what to do. But luckily my Frey still gets one repackaged from Hun. Then need to think where to get liao.

O ya, Hun, your instant slurp coming ok? Cuz next week ar, my whole family of 5 have to be stuck in 1 small hotel room for a couple of days. Some more working next day. Thought wanna leave her wif my bf after all lar. Gonna miss her so much for 3 days. Can't believe how much a part of me she become liao.

So for 3 days she get to free range in my bf's room. I think maybe wanna repack your slurp into small container to give him feed Frey for 3 days if no instant slurp.

O_O And it is huge!! where did you get the wire thingy that your gliders climbing on? How much ar? I wanna make a small glider corner for Frey in my com room. Next time can I visit your room too~ Wanna see la the way your gliders free range.
