Sugar Glider Central

Posted: **Thu Dec 18, 2008 7:09 am**

I have been worried Im not feeding my sugar gliders the right diet - I give them all kinds of fruit (cherries, blueberries, peaches, grapes, strawberries, raspberries) and veggies (corn, carrots, green beans, peas), baby food -different fruit and veggie flavors, cooked chicken, scrambled eggs and cherrios and some honey drizzled on top - along with thier staple diet are they getting adequate nutrition? I also cant seem to figure out if they like everything mixed up togather or in seprate bowls - are sugar gliders finicky eaters - would they starve themselves if they dont like what you are feeding them - or will they eventually eat it - Im not really even sure on how much to feed them - how much will they eat in one setting anyways?- i think i am WAY over feeding them (ive been giving them about half a cereal bowl full) but I guess I just hear so much about thier diet I want to be sure they are healthy - also is it best to just do one or two kinds of fruits and veggies in a single meal instead of all at once like i have been doing

also I am working on bonding them - I got them from a woman on craigslist who had a 3 year old daughter that basically scared the daylights out of them - they are VERY fearful of people - do alot of biting and crabbing sometimes even breaking the skin when they bite - ive read you are supposed to keep kind of forcing yourself on them when they bite but this seems wrong to me - the best approach ive been doing is catching them while they are asleep under a blanket in their cage - i take them out blanket and all and put the whole thing in my bra -(hope that doesnt creep anyone out) trying to get them used to my smell - they seem to enjoy the warmth and the tightness of the space, but Im wondering if i should be handling them more using just my hands or keep on the path I am and go at a slower pace - when i have them safe and secure pretty much every time i peek in there to check on them they crab at me and lunge at my fingers trying to bite so I dont try to pet them or anything just close the blanket up and let them be - would appreciate any advice on these two subjects anyone has to give

thank you

Crabbing is expected, and in my personal opinion, you are doing a good job in bonding with them so far. I have a female that I purchased from a mill breeder and she is the same way. If they bite you, don't pull away because that will just teach them that they can bully you into getting what they want. Let them. When you have them in your bra, it is ok to peek in on them to say Hello, and just let them crab away. Putting them in your bra is a great idea, becuse not only will they get your scent, they will also know your breathing and heartbeat. I keep my little female (her name is Weeko) in a built in bra in a muscle shirt when I wear it, and she snuggles up right next to me. Another trick I use is when I peek in, I give her a treat. Sometimes I will wear a shirt for a few days and then put it in her cage to sleep in, this also helps them to recognise your scent.
As for diet, the staples diet is good, and I also reccomend Priscilla's diet. Ask around the forum and I'm sure someone will have it (as for me I just recently heard of it myself), and it is highly recommended.
You are a wonderful person for taking in thoes little gliders, there are websites and people everywhere that say "Sugar Gliders are not pets for children!", and some people just choose not to listen.

I hope my advice helped.

Television-----the most pervasive and persuasive of modern technologies, marked by rapid change and growth-is moving into a new era,an era of extraordinary sophistication and versatility, which promises to reshape our lives and our world.wow power leveling,It is an electronic revolution of sorts, made possible by the marriage of television and computer technologies.
World Of Warcraft gold
The word "television",Cheap WoW Gold, derived from its Greek (tele: distant) and Latin (visio: sight) roots, can literally be interpreted as sight from a distance. Very simply put, it works in this way: through a sophisticated system of electronics,World Of Warcraft gold, television provides the capability of converting an image (focused on a special photoconductive plate within a camera) into electronic impulses, which can be sent through a wire or cable. These impulses, when fed into a receiver (television set), can then be electronically reconstituted into that same image. WoW Power Leveling
WoW Gold,
The field of television can be divided into two categories determined by its means of transmission. World Of Warcraft gold,First, there is broadcast television, which reaches the masses through broad-based airwave transmission of television signals. Second, there is nonbroadcast television, which provides for the needs of individuals or specific interest groups through controlled transmission techniques.
aoc gold,
Traditionally, television has been a medium of the masses. We are most familiar with broadcast television because it has been with us for about thirty-seven years in a form similar to what exists today. During those years, it has been controlled, for the most part, WoW Gold,by the broadcast networks, ABC, NBC, and CBS, who have been the major purveyors of news, information, and entertainment. These giants of broadcasting have actually shaped not only television but our perception of it as well. We have come to look upon the picture tube as a source of entertainment, placing our role in this dynamic medium as the passive viewer.
