Joe,

Yes sometimes when gliders live in a dirty environment they will be a dirty brownish color from their body functions. But this is not the case. Mine are very well taken care of. I know that alot of us have brown glider that are really brown and some are gray with tree staining making them look brown. But the major difference with mine 2 are that they are brown with yello cream color every where there is white on a gray one including the ear spots. So I am looking for a more scientific answer.

Thanks alot....

: I was told by my breeder that those with brown color are due to their sleeping hole. While I
: have only had my glider for a few days, so I can't say I've tested this, but it is good to have
: a "sleeping hole" that absorbs moisture and breaths, say wood or cloth. The reason adult gliders
: turn brown is because they are absorbing the moisture, say from a ceramic or plastic sleep hole,
: where the moisture cannot get out.

: Hope this helps
