Okay... what I would suggest doing is this: Do a LOT of research. Put getting a glider on hold and just research them. Their origin etc. Find a vet in your area who will see and treat gliders in case of emergency.

As for feeding... there is a HUGE different between cats/dogs and gliders. A dog or cat, you just pick up a bag/box, throw food in the bowl and give them fresh water. Gliders need a specific diet, and it can take up a lot of time.

They also need a LOT of attention. If you got one, when would you play with it? They are nocturnal, so you would need to be up late at night.

There are a lot of things to consider... I suggest doing more research and see what it really means to have a pet glider, and then think about getting one.
