I like the idea personally..trying to discourage/encourage people you don't know, not knowing what they would be like as Glider parents is frightening!
In this care sheet (if you make it of course) I would deffinately include a note on how they interact with children. *dreams of big warning labels and loud speakers* Of course, some kids are going to be great, but kids have friends that will pressure the child into letting them all "hold" (squeeze the living daylights out of) the poor SG, and you never know (between the stranger,the new smells, the confinement, and the loud noises) how violent the SG will be in return.
It might be weird to carry these on you..but if worse comes to worse you can hand them to people and explain why you made them in the first place. Show them the note you posted on this board if that is not enough!:)
All my luck and wishes to you, Cheers

>>after I gave an hour long speech about the time, late hours, years, feeding, vets, children ect... I was suprised to see that the parents still wanted to get them for there children.
