From Lisa:
Hi Hun,
I have 2 gliders – one male and one female. They get along well on any other day EXCEPT when it comes to mating season. She doesn’t seem to like to mate. Whenever he comes close and smell / lick the you-know-where, she will start to crab (a very loud one to the point when I couldn’t sleep at all) and push him away. Is that a norm?
Hi Lisa
What your girl is trying to show your boy is that she doesn’t want to breed. Some females would tell off a male if it doesn’t want to breed. She is telling him she isn’t ready. Gliders will mate if they both accept one another during breeding periods, so if your girl is not ready, she won’t let him breed with her. Crabbing, chasing, a little squabbling is normal. So no worries. Once she feels that she is ready, she would let him mate with her. Just a matter of time.

what is the normal cost per day to board 2 sugar gliders?
Well, it depends. My price for boarding is very flexible coz I do it from home, it is normally Rm7 per day. The longer the stay, the cheaper it would be.
Hi, i’m a new sugar glider owner and well i’ve made alot of research on their diets reading thru lots of websites. The problem with the websites is that they dont put in information like how much do we have to feed a 3 months of sugar glider. Just yesterday, during night time we gave Chips our 3 months old sugar glider with a dice of watermelon and honeydew. Its for the 1st time it pee that much when we handle him. We were worried that we over fed it. Please advice on this. And whats the proper portion of food do we need to give them. Thanks.
You made a mistake by feeding watermelon and honey dew together. By feeding 2 types or even 1 type of melon with no high fiber or hi carbohydrate food, there will be a lot of peeing and alot of soft poo. The correct amount to feed a joey is basically a little bit more than 1 teaspoon of chopped fruits and as they grow older, increase it to a big 1.5 tablespoon. Adults know when to stop eating, but joeys sometimes don’t so monitor. Joeys also need more frequent feeding, about 3 times a day if possible. Small meals and water.
