: Oh, Kim, aren't you a prima donna glider owner! I've had my gliders for years, I know what they like, and that's not being lugged
: around every day (they get incredibly cranky if I do). I check on my gliders when I am home all the time, I pet them, talk to them,
: snuggle with them, and they love me. They like my attention, but I don't think they really do need two hours of my undivided attention.
: They would rather play with eachother and run around exploring then hang out with mom and dad most times. When they want a snuggle
: or my attention, they get it. Actually, they probably get more of my attention than they want sometimes!

: The two hour rule depends on your glider and your schedule. My gliders are happy, friendly, well adjusted, well cared for, and sweet. They definately are
: the best pets I've ever had. I pay plenty of attention to them, but I still believe it does not hurt them if I do not spend the recommended two hours a day with them.
: My gliders are not ignored, they only spend 8 hours a day in their cage (while I am asleep) and they are fine. While you do have to adjust your lifestyle to your little one,
: they do not have to take over your life to be your best friend.

: As for your comment on having a cool pet to show off, gliders are illegal in my state, so I couldn't even show them off if that were the case. Besides, I'm too old for that crap.

: So anyway, stop judging, and get over yourself and your "I know best attitude".
