Damn I still have the cages and crap from my last two. thinking about it.

What kind of pouch does it come with? I may want to buy the pouch!

:D

[Mr. Pink]

Any kind you want, I head off to the flea market to get mine..lol..

UofK, John Deere, hearts and roses, I think they have it all...

This is a brother/sister pair, they should not be in the same cage when they hit puberty unless you get them fixed. Most vets can do it. If you mate them (I have 3 different bloodlines at my house, so next go-round I can most likely have an opposite sex mate) They will generally produce 2x offspring every 6-9 months, great pets, fun for kids and smart if you train them. Its hit or miss though, I have 6 pairs and 3 of them breed. The local fleamarket here gives me $75 a pop for any weaned young gliders, so its no biggie if no one is interested in the next week or two. They'll give you the same deal for any babies you might get. They just turn them around for $175+ or put them to breeding duty, and I'd rather have them go to someone who will play with them and give them attention, as Ive had alot of crabby and antisocial gliders, and this pair make the NICEST gliders. Their big brother definately has me and my wife whipped, he's NEVER bitten or nipped.

Mine like to ride the cats, the felines thought they were in charge for about 10 minutes when we first got the gliders, they are pretty fearless. :)

any pics? been years since I've seen some in person.

Ghostrider --- is your dog wearing a necklace?

[Mr. Pink]

umm.. pics are in first post, if they don't show upfor ya, send me your email addy and I'll shoot you some.

I suggest anyone considering them do some research, these aren't a "high maintenace" pet by any means, but just like any animal, it has different needs than a cat or dog. They need a little of your time at least every other day to get attached to you, but once they like you, you have a buddy for life. They are very social and I recommend strongly pairing them, especially if you don't want to take them out often.

They are a little smaller than the pic in real life. About 3" right now, and another 4" of tail. They will grow another 3" or so total. About the size of a standard gerbil. The weird thing is that you expect them to act like rodents, but they are much more intelligent and less skittish, mostly they like to find a warm spot in a pouch or under your shirt and fall asleep, mine like to ride in my hoodie in the fall.

What is the general life expectancy on them?

[Mr. Pink]

10-12 years in captivity, heres a good FAQ-

Yeah, those are her Mardi Gras pearls - she usually likes the plain white ones better but she was being festive... Little stray mutt came in and took over the house...

I know nothing about the gliders, but I don't think she'd let any other animals alone, she's got 3 possums, 2 bunnies and a lizard so far just out of our tiny back yard, and although she hasn't gotten an actual bird yet, she's pulled enough feathers to make a pillow. :lol: It makes me laugh cause she's SO different when she's on the hunt... :eek:

[Mr. Pink]

TTT.. One baby girl left, sweetie, falls asleep in my hands.
