I will introduce 4 of my gliders and will be answering questions on sugar gliders.
Please click onto the Events Page for details on this year’s Cutie Pet Fair 2011. There will be a sugar glider talk on both days. As usual, free grooming and sugar glider consultation on that day.
Because of this coming event happening on the weekends, I won’t be around at Pet Epicure Taman Melawati on this Sunday (9 Oct 2011)
Hi everyone, real sorry that I have not updated for such long tme. It’s all due to my project in September…. I entered Culinaire Malaysia 2011, under Nonya Heritage catogery with a team and after gruelling days and nights of practice and work, we made it and won silver. Hahaha… oh well, that kinda explains why I have not been updating anything lately. My assignments have also made a pile on my desk so that would be another thing to tackle.
Anyway, I have loads of articles to share soon. Oh, and if you are an avid reader of Petster magazine, do get hold of October’s issue, I wrote on Sugar Glider sickness and diseases.
I will also be having a sales page soon as I have some sugar glider pouches and bags to sell. Stay tuned Folks!
If you have emailed to crazymouse.yoong@gmail.com, I will not answer your email at all. Please ONLY email to suggiesathome@gmail.com.
Thanks
In the recent months, I have received many people coming to find me at Pet Epicure for my free consultation services and grooming. Thank you coming and I’m glad that I have helped many people with their problems.
I will open an Appointment Page in my blog so that you guys will know when and what time I will be at Pet Epicure as well as with the address and map. I will update with exact dates. So stay tuned!
Thank you guys for the support you all have given me throughout these 6 years. I was once a newbie that didn’t know anything about gliders but through the years I have learnt a lot about sugar gliders and about breeding them.
Many have given me calls, emails and SMSes, wanting sugar glider joeys. Just a gentle reminder, I’m not a commercial breeder so my joeys are limited. For now, all joeys are fully booked till end of the year. Will most likely, but I cannot promise this, most likely will have a few joeys in January or February. If you would like to get a joey from me, you have to be patient and understand my terms and conditions. Respect my T & C and I will respect you.
Anyway, big thanks to all my friends and customers for believing in me. You guys are the best.
Well, Baron and Cuppy went to their new homes last week. Both are now in Malacca, enjoying each of their homes. I didn’t get to take a last photo of them but they were huge, Baron being more than 60g.
Anyway, yes, I know I have been very very late with the updates but it’s because my life has taken a hectic turn with new projects coming up in my uni life. Even updating the Facebook page is beginning to be slow.
Here is Peanut and Butter. They have grown so much. I have not weight them yet but I suspect they are around 50g or more since they feel so solid and bulky in my hands. They are ready to go to their new homes already but their owners will take them later.
Butter
Peanut
Then here we have Koda and Kristy. These 2 have a little yellow shading on their heads. Hopefully it stays. They are already begining to try solid food already. They will be ready for their new homes soon but again, their owners will be taking them at a later date.
Koda
Kristy
Then here with have the naughtiest little joey, Arizona. She is Miss Complain Pot. Why? Because every little thing she crabs to complain. LOL…. people who saw her last week have witness just how vocal she is at crabbing. But she is super active and sleek looking. She will be going to Eugene this Sunday. My lil crabby pot.
Arizona doing her balancing act.
Then next are Emmy and Emma. These 2 girls are so dark, they are considered Black Beauties. Still nursing but will begin to eat solid food soon. very pretty girls. They will be the last of Sugus’s joeys as she will begin retirement next year.
They look big don’t they? Any they are still drinking mom’s milk.
Now here are Max and Magic. They OOP on the same date as Emma and Emmy but their growth is not as fast as those 2. Max and Magic still got their babyish looks. Still nursing, they are growing soundly. Mom is taking great care of them. They are lucky as the first batch of joeys were rejected last year.
Aren’t they just such cutie pies?
Then lastly is Kailey. She is small, she OOP on 3 August 2011. Joey to Kiah and Kimba. She follows much like Kiah, very dark features on her face. She will be going to Luoyun at around end of September or beginning of October, depends on when she starts to be independent.
Alright, I hope these updates will brighten your faces with broad smiles. Playing with these joeys are really a joy, but taking their pictures can be an extreme workout because they do not sit still for the camera.
I think I did the right thing by opening a Facebook page…. so far I’m getting many “Likes” and people have been asking me lots of questions and also for help through facebook. The power of social networking… amazing. Anyway, a girl and her sister were very worried about their joey and came to find me all the way from Kuantan if their joey was ok or not.
Little Berry is a very young male joey. I really really hate petshops. Little Berry has to suffer because of petshops looking for money. Let me explain further. Berry was a from a very famous petshop in Klang Valley. They were told the joey was 2 months old…. but he is actually only 4 weeks OOP. His upper front teeth has not grown yet. Anyway, the owners felt worried so they visited another famous petshop that told them to feed one of the most common sugar glider diet, HPW…. I was kinda surprised why they did not recommend the joey milk replacer…. Hmmmm…. anyway, from my experience, underage joeys should be taking milk till they are 6 weeks to 7 weeks OOP. Because of the petshop advising them to feed HPW, they followed….. but Berry’s digestion could not tolerate the high amount of honey.
I know alot of you have come to realize that I’m no fan of the HPW diet because of the amount of honey. Imagine 1.5 cups of honey to 2 cups of water…. I don’t even take that much honey. A teaspoon of honey to 1 cup of water is enough for me as a drink. It’s just not my favourite diet to use but I do advice people to use it if they have no choice since the HPW diet is readily available at most major petshops.
Anyway, Berry couldn’t tolerate the excessive amount of honey. As a result, he began to suffer from diarrhea and it didn’t stop. His owners were so worried that they brought him to me. They actually brought to a vet in Kuantan and the vet was so new to gliders, he/she said that the joey was healthy. Anyway, good thing they had 2nd thoughts and brought him to me.
Berry is now under my care. His owners asked me if I could helped them to take care of him and I volunteered. He only weighs about 12g. My 1 day old OOP joeys weight 12g….. so… he is seriously not absorbing any nutrients from the HPW. It just goes in and comes out.
My article here is not to point fingers or scolding anyone or anything but just to make everyone aware that petshops are only in it for the money. They have no heart about the joeys. They care about sales. Even agents or resellers or commercial breeders are the same. Be wise when you choose a breeder or seller. Your heart will suffer the most, just like how Berry’s owners are so heart broken now.
Now, I just hope he survives. I can see that he is trying to be strong by crawling up my arm and walking all over my table. He still has diarrhea but at least he is eating every 3 hours.
Please pray for Berry so that he stays strong. I’m doing my best at helping him survive for now. Let us hope that he makes it through.
His owners have allowed me to share this because in a way, it will be educating people more about purchasing from pet shops and also about underage joeys. Thank you Berry’s Owners.
Real sorry guys, but I will only be able to update the blog next week onwards. Been so busy. I know you all are eagerly waiting for pictures so…. just be patient.
Ciao.
I have so many pictures of my joeys. Well, this post will only be just pictures. So, enjoy!
Tonight will be Jodi and Jerry’s last night with me. Tomorrow they will be going home to Eric (Jerry) and to Ched (Jodi).
Here is Jodi. She has grown quite alot. She acts just like her mom. Crabby girl hahaha.
Then next is Jeremy. I think my last post I mis-spelled his name as Jerry LOL..Sometimes I get confused. Oh well….. he became quite a handsome boy. Very adventurous. He now follows his sister’s crabbiness but it will subside once he goes to his new home. He kinda followed and copied his sister. Look at his picture below. This is how a 2 month old OOP joey should look like next to a 50 cent coin.
Then next we have Keera’s 2 naughty joeys. Koda and Kristy. Koda will be going to Stenn, Kristy will be going to Shigure. They are still very dependent on mom, as you can see with the pics. They got that babyish blur face that every loves about joeys.
Here is Kristy cuddling againts the pink fleece.
Kristy in my palm.
Koda hanging on hehehe….
Koda on Keera’s back.
The joeys torturing their mom hahahah.
Then next we have Arizona. She belongs to Eugene. Arizona hates the camera, she was basically attacking and pouncing on my lens. But taking pics of her, she poses naturally. Awww…..
This is Arizona’s kungfu pose LOL.
Then comes Peanut and Butter. They are growing strong. Peanut will be going to Shigure and Butter to Sharon. Butter is pretty fiesty, she won’t sit still for the camera. Peanut is more calm. But then joeys will always be joeys. They are just so active.
Butter giving me the ” I surrender!” look…. funny girl.
Peanut has a very “koala” face.
Coming up, we have Baron and Cuppy. They will be going to Chong Hau (Baron) and Amir (Cuppy). These 2 cheeky fellas, very attached to Jen, their mom. Very hard to get them to pose.
The top one is Baron, the bottom one is Cuppy.
Baron
Cuppy.
Then some new joeys. 2 sets of joeys, both sets OOP on the same date! 26 July 2011.
This 2, a male and female, are by Ginger and Pepper. I adopted Ginger and Pepper in…. I think…. end of 2009? She had a joey once, but she rejected it and I couldn’t rescue it in time. That was last year. This time, she is more confident so her joeys are healthy and she seems happy too. The girl is Magic, going to Abdul Fareeq and the boy, Max will be going to Aqidah.
Then this here is from Sugus and Gizmo, 2 girls that also OOP on 26 July 2011. So happy that they will be going to the same home to Rabiatul and her sister. The baby girls are called Emma and Emmy.
Anyway, it took me awhile to update due to a very hectic day today. So hope you guys enjoy them.
Edited: So sorry…. I got confused with some joeys. Shigure is getting Kristy. Luoyun will be getting Kailey. My apologies as I got too many names to remember, too many joeys at one time.
