I uploaded this video again for your pleasure. Hopefully the Aussies wont flag it off again for the blatant mistreatment of the poor animal by me.

I wonder if I should try to get some more like this?

Comment by hugwildlife on your video: Sugar Glider in wheel - Slow Motion 300 fps
Stop using the wheel! As I said before, its cruel. Sugar Gliders get their exercise from gliding. They're not meant to be treated like mice. They die from mistreatment.

That's awesome! I love seeing our babies in action. :p

What kind of video camera did you use, and what kind of lighting did you have? I've been looking around at cameras, and this seems like one that'd be good! :p

omg that was so cute

Aww heck, heres the other one that did not get flagged off by an angry Aussie. One wonders about the thinking of people...





The camera is a Samsung SC-HMX20C .

The light was some sort of a portable halogen thing I have. Need something that can turn on really quick as the animals dont seem to perform well in solid light conditions.

The Stealth wheel blocks some good footage of feet hitting the track. I might try next time using a wide angle lens up closer to see if I can fill in more of the missing stuff. Think of that kind of stuff when choosing your angle of view.

I think this cam shoots at 300fps. There may be better ones out now. I shoot all of my movies in SD format; havent bothered with the HD stuff.

So cute! Hilarious to watch.

That is amazing. How did you get it in slow motion like that?

How were they flagged? The gliders look like they love those wheels.

I know. I couldn't help but go ask what hugwildlife had against wheels since gliders can't just glide around the neighborhood in the US.

What kind of files do the videos save as? The biggest thing I'm looking for is that I have to be able to open it in WMM, since I like to edit videos. I can't do that with the camera I have unless I slaughter the quality. :/

I can't get over how cool these videos are. ^^

Wicked video! And who doesn't use a stealth or wodent wheel for their glider?

Ah. I was told by hugswildlife that that was months ago and she has learned much since then. LoL.

This is Awesome!!! I really what to get mine on a video like this...

Please do!

AMAZING - Notice that the running glider goes in one direction facing forward as he jumps but then he turns around for the "hang on and ride" so he is facing the direction of the wheel.

I love the leap frog game with one running and one riding. The turn around to face the direction of the wheel while riding explains why it always looks like two gliders are trying to run in different directions when actually only one is running at a time.

Thanks for the slo-mo to demonstrate this! Great job.

SO so funny. I cant wait to get mine in!!

Totally awesome!

Terry - GREAT JOB!!! Everytime my gliders are playing in their Stealth Wheels, I have to watch them and laugh. It is just to funny. And we are all having a good time...

ANITA - hope you have lots of Stealths on hand! Im sure these videos are going to drum up some business for you!

There is NOTHING like a Stealth Wheel for sugar gliders!

i LOVE the second video! I find it hilarious that one glider is just along for the ride...... :) Too funny!!! GREAT videos! Thanks for posting them!!!!

It just kills me that someone could think this was cruel treatment. I haven't gotten a stealth wheel yet, but I plan to as soon as I can. But my Luna has a nice big wheel and she absolutely loves it. You can hear her all through the house running on it. She'll run and then stop (I think she does it to catch her breath) and then goes right back at it. I love watching her.

omg!! the vid with both in the wheel cracked me up.1 is so lively n the other gets bumped in the head all the time.. lol. wonder how they dun get dizzy.im dizzy jus watching em go round n round n round..

I love the second video. Too funny running into each other while one hangs out of the wheel looking queezy like she is saying "get me off this ride I think I'm gonna be sick" Love them.

Awesome video! Hopefully I can share some of mine soon. I finally got the correct software to convert my cage camera video!

I will be coming back again, to play this over, and over, and over again!

I remember when someone on youtube was having a fit about that being cruel to the critters. Like we are forcing them to run.

Cute videos and we all know they are having fun and that is what counts.

Ok those are great!!! I always wondered how my two were in the wheel together and what they were doing. Maverick always jumps out whenever I come in and peek at them. It made me laugh how one kept getting bumped into! Which is very painful right now - my stomach muscles are very sore from a killer workout. But did I turn it off? NO . And I also liked how in the first video the glider kept looking out like "are you still watching me?".

I hope they don't get flagged again. I am bookmarking this to show my kids. They will love it!
