With all due respects:::::

Mind you this is only my opinion here...

But you said "I can only get my gliders to play with me for a couple minutes a night as they
run around. But they do come and check on me every few minutes in their explorations,"

This person was looking for help so that they could get closer to their glider. You have your glider as close as you want it to be. You have trained yours to be happy with your schedule and your attention habits. You also have more than 1 glider. You are satisfied not taking your glider out.. but again you are in a totally different circumstance that Xay is. He does not live in a state where they are illegal and he is wanting to get close to his glider. Some people have dogs, some of the owners tie them up go out and play with them for a few minutes hugs and kisses them and the dog seem happy, Others have dogs that go everywhere with them and spend alot of time outside of the backyard, treated like one of the family. Mind you neither owner is any better of a master to their dog. I have a glider that goes everywhere with me..When she is out of her cage she spends as much time with me as she does with the other glider playing. I mow 5 acres of lawn and work on the river and she stays as content in my pocket as yours do in their cage. My Baybe loves attention and when I don't take her out and let her play she gets mad at me much as a child gets angry for not spending time with them. Our Babies (my husband has the other) are bonded with us. They are treated as part of the family. Where we go, our babies go with us...no matter what. Show them off.. sometimes, but ours thrive on the extra attention. My gliders are happy, healthy, and well adjusted. Your may not like being in your pocket, and you may be happy with the little bonding you have done, it fits your lifestyle. Some of us would like more. It is possible to achieve more with patience and perserverance. It does make a difference in the bonding as to how much time you spend 1 on 1 and how much of your time you devote to your glider, as with teens . You can tell which parents spends alot of QUALITY time with their kids and who don't. and yes I spend Quality time with my kids, I have my youngest at the age of 14 which I homeschool as well, Who chooses to spend most of her time with her mom and dad. (I guess we bonded pretty well too.) No this isn't Glider ego... But I know my glider loves me as much as I love her. There is no sacrafice too big for me to make to accomadate her. They are treated as part of the family. That is because they ARE part of the family..Mind you I don't intend to get into any conflict here and if you feel you need to feel free to email me
