Thanks for sharing that info. I think gliders are so cute but I decided a couple of years ago that I'm not prepared for the time and energy they need. I get really worried when I see gliders being sold at shows as easy to care for pets and people buying them for their young kids.Originally Posted by edie
And on a more serious note, due to some recent questions I've been asked about gliders I feel I need to say something.. These animals are NOT easy to care for. They need to be housed in pairs, they require large-secure cages, many of the recommended diets for gliders must be hand made at home, and they WILL pee and poop when ever and where ever they please - there is no such thing as a "potty trained" glider. They are messy animals! They take a lot of time to care for, and there is a lot of research to be done BEFORE you even consider buying them. After you understand the basics about these animals, they are very fun to keep, but they do require a lot of time and effort on the owners part. They are wild animals - if you want something that is easy to care for get a cat, or a snake
