Yes. I think you done some research on my user name .

I also breed sugar gliders, but i don't know what species is in my possession.

Can you describe the New Guinea Sugar Gliders?

Thanks!

Not yet!

Only on pictures and videos. I live in Luzon island, the best place to see them in the wild is only in Mindanao.

But I love to see them personally.

Could you please post some more pictures of cloud rats, with the species/subspecies identification? Few month ago I did not even know there exist such "teddybears" and I am still confuced with their ID according to photos I saw.

Maybe you could know if the two different coloured animals on this photo are of diffrent species/populations or just morphs (like spoted/black jaguars)?

Cloud Rats

slender-tailed cloud rats (Phloeomys pallidus), locally known as bu-ot.

Panay bushy-tailed cloud rat (Crateromys heaneyi)

Southern Luzon Giant Cloud Rat

Northern Luzon giant cloud rat (Phloeomys pallidus)

Greater dwarf cloud rat (Carpomys melanurus)

Thanks for those photos, I have also seen most of them, but I still can not identify the animals on my picture (I took last month in Jihlava).

The two-coloured female looks very similar to the photos of P. pallidus and cummingi, on the other hand the light-coloured male does not appear on any of yours pics, but looks identical to the animals held in Prague.

EDIT: For illustration a pic from Prague

Does anybody have other pictures of cloud rats?

 

[spayrow]
