I let my gliders in the living room only. that is where their cage is and I can watch them when they are out playing. I have my living room glider proof to a point as much as we can . But you have to be aware of where your glider is for several different reasons. 1, so you don't lose them and 2, so they don't get hurt. I have one that is a daredevil. and if left alone I am sure he would try to fly through the walls. It cannot be stressed enough. NEVER leave your glider unattended and unsupervised. That does not mean it's okay while you go into the kitchen. You must always know where your glider is and what he is doing. only takes once for him to bite into an electrical cord or fly onto a hot lightbulb. the possibilities are endless. When I say mine has free run of the living room. I mean as long as I can see them and keep a left eye on them. it is just like having a 2 year old. they too are curious and want to explore the unknown. thing is they are unaware they may get injured in the process.

: I know everyone is concerned for Tanya and her glider...Now I am worried to even let Eos out of my sight! Has this happened to anyone else, or does it happen a lot with bonded gliders? Do most of ya'll let your gliders run around in the house and feel safe? Some advice is appreciated. :) Thanks, Tiffany
