The sugar glider is a marsupial (warm-blooded marsupials like kangaroos and wallabies) native to New Guinea and South Australia, where it spends most of its time in trees. Honey gliders have gliding membranes on both sides of their bodies, extending from hand joints to ankles, which help them glide through the woods. Honey gliders are also slowly being kept as pets in China. Novices may encounter many problems when raising honey gliders, so what should newbies pay attention to when raising honey gliders?
Honeybag glider
1 . At this time, Xiaomi can only rely on you to feed milk and eat apples, milk at least 4 times a day ~6 meals.
Watch your bowel movements at all times. Adjust the concentration of milk if you have diarrhea. If Xiaomi doesn't drink milk very much, she should feed it every 2 to 3 hours. This time is the hardest time for you, and you can't sleep until dawn.
Be careful at all times, Xiaomi may die prematurely due to weather, food, environment and unknown reasons.
2. Xiaomi must spend time with him (her).
Only will she be close to the owner, Xiaomi is timid and afraid of life, afraid that she will bark, even if she is unfamiliar. He (she) is a nocturnal animal, so it is almost quiet during the day. At night, he or she will be alone and ask for someone to accompany you and make you sleepless all night.
If you don't trust Xiaomi and don't kiss the owner, he or she will bite and be wild.
3. Xiaomi is a picky eater.
Although it is omnivorous, it does not eat whatever it is fed, so it must continue for a long time to find out what your Xiaomi likes to eat. Don't feel troublesome, this is a major matter related to Xiaomi's body.
Xiaomi will be malnourished due to lack of calcium and protein, and excessive calcium supplementation will also cause problems with Xiaomi's body.
4. Xiaomi also suffers from colds, fear of cold (keep 26~29 degrees), diarrhea and worms.
There are not many doctors who will see Xiaomi now, especially in China, and even in Hong Kong and Taiwan in foreign countries, because it has been popular for a long time, no matter in medical treatment or supporting products, it is very popular. more abundant and abundant than we are. Because, in the current situation, it is very important to ensure the health of Xiaomi, and it is also an issue that a honey mom should pay attention to.
5. Xiaomi can live 8-15 years in captivity.
If you can accompany him (her) to the end, of course, it is the best, which requires patience and love. You don't think his (her) life span is very short, in fact, even our usual pets, such as cats and dogs, are about this time.
6. When in heat, they will fight, and they will not even recognize the owner. It bites and makes a lot of noise, and urinates casually.
There is no way to do this, all pets are almost the same...
7. The weather will soon enter autumn and winter. I would recommend buying a heat preservation lamp. at 10-15W.
This is still a problem that everyone should pay attention to. In the north with heating in winter, the indoor temperature may be 26~29 degrees, but when there is still no heating, let alone the south, because I hope everyone Still pay close attention to this issue. Although it is said that Xiaomi's nest does not need to be changed in autumn and winter, the problem of warmth cannot be ignored.
8. In fact, it is not necessary to use a syringe to feed. There is a thing called a dropper. I don't know if you have an impression. It is better to feed.
I won't say more about this. This is my personal experience. Of course, if you have a good method, you can also tell me.
