What happens if you mis-identify a squirrel as a glider?Originally Posted by DrAndy
I think a squirrel could handle the fall with ease. Just start off with something low like a step and don't just jump straight in there with a balcony.Originally Posted by kingwilly
Hungover yes, impulse buy, no. I went there the day before to look for a pet for my boy and we decided on the sugar glider on the way back to the hotel. We live on 15 rai and he is very good with animals.Originally Posted by pai nai ma
Any more assumptions about my decision to buy a pet?

Photos Bung.
where are the photos.
And the photos of you W650
I'll try today! Have to get to the internet cafe to do it and he's sleping in his nice, new, big cage now.....Got some good ones of the W though for you.
Save yourself the embarrassment of your neighbours thinking the Falang has finally flipped when they see you scrabbling around for crickets, get some mealworms from your local bird or aquarium shop ! Good source of protein.
Keep the worms in a securely covered and ventilated tray and in a dry place with a piece of dry bread for them to eat .
I keep a stock for my birds and if I leave the cover off the tray every Mynah bird , squirrel and even a loris in the area clean them out in 10 mins !!!
Ah, so they are mealworms they sell in the pet shops then? I bought some yesterday but he didn't eat them but he is still very young. Thanks for the tip on keeping them.
I'll send the boy out for crickets, he does that anyway. Seems to just eat grapes bananas carrot and babycorn at the moment but he's still settling in.
Hmmm.....gliding the Sugar Glider. Sounds almost as much fun as Hamster head-butts.
Hamster head-butts (you will never tire of this).
Equipment needed:-
1 x Hamster.
1 x Pillow.
1 x Wall.
Instructions:-
Stand next to a wall, pick up pillow and put Hamster on pillow so that it is facing the wall.
Hold out pillow with Hamster at arms length and then let go.
Results:-
As the pillow suddenly drops, the Hamster seperates from the pillow and it's little legs are going sixteen to the dozen.
The pillow lands on the ground, the Hamster lands on the pillow and then slams it's head into the wall due to it's little legs still going sixteen to the dozen.
Repeat until:-
You can't breath anymore due to laughing.
Hamster is too stunned to move.
Great fun for the entire family!

Thats funny! Not sure I will try to see if my little fellow will glide....
I have a fun game with cats. Tie a tea towel around it's body and it will walk like it is blind drunk. Hilarious.
They're pretty cool pets...
I read that marmosets and tamarins get their protein from the grubs and maggots in the fruit they eat. So it might be an idea to buy meal worms used to feed lizards and see if he likes them. Pollen is another source of protein. I know sugar gliders aren't marmosets or tamarins but it's an idea.
Well, Colas settled right in. We had a great time playing with him on the sofa last night then he pigged out so much he fell asleep in his food bowl. At first he was just licking his food but now is eating it properly but also starting to bite us as well, not hard or angry, just seems to be testing his new found skill. I think he was just weaned. You need to let them do it, if you pull away they will keep doing it but it is a bit hard letting an animal bite you. same when I kept galahs in Australia. Only does it when he is either eating or wants to eat.
You let galahs bite you?? Fcuk that !!Originally Posted by Bung
They just have a nibble until they get to know you, hard to sit there and let it happen though, they can be ornery buggers but if you pull away they will keep doing it!
I fear there is little chance of your children learning love and respect for their pets when they are obliged to watch their oafish father torment and mistreat those in his care.
Cats are sensitive animals, surely even someone of your obviously limited intelligence should be able to understand that the “fun game” which provides you with such “hilarity” also causes the cat discomfort and great distress.
When we take animals as pets they come with no free will on their part and it is the responsibility of the owner to care for them properly. You are dealing with living creatures, not toys to be treated as playthings and subject to brutish treatment when you feel in the mood to exercise your perverted requirements for amusement.
After your first Post I marked you down as simply foolish and thoughtless, I think you have now graduated to moronic.

^ I was waiting for that....
Such alacrity. Let me guess. Your pets are all dressed up in baby outfits and made to sit for afternoon tea with you. Oh hang on, that would be mistreating them wouldn't it?

It carried right on playing after I took it off, that thing had a great life with me unlike any pet under your care that would be bored to tears in 5 minutes.

Cats are never willing pawns in something distressful and will never be shy to show it. I'm quite sure if it found the treatment discomforting Bung would be tending to some scratches in his arms, and possibly having to buy another unshreaded tea towel.Originally Posted by Patrick
There are some really cool vids on youtube of them jumping but I thought that this one was worth posting.
If I didn't have dogs I'd probably still want one
Momo's a moody little bitch though!

^Christ that was quick!
This guys got another vid where he gives and update on Momo. He reakons the best place to train them is in side a dome tent, coz they're SG friendly and they can't get away. Good advise I reakon.
That would be cool walkig round with one in your shirt pocket.
Hi Bung, I've just watched another vid where it said that they are supposed to be sold in pairs and don't survive well on thier own.
Maybe you should consider getting him a little mate.
May as well buy a few mice too, once they start breeding there will be no stopping them.
