Subject: PLEASE READ! Pet Stores with gliders what a horrible thing! Posted by Savannah on June 15, 1999 at 14:39:53:
Hi everybody I hate seeing gliders in pet stores! Before I knew about gliders and their needs I bought one from a pet store. Big mistake! The guy that owned the store was feeding her Iguana food and many other bad things. He said to go out and buy leather gloves because she bites hard. Since we didn't know much about them at the time we did as he said and bought the stuff. She was in a bird cage barely 1 foot tall. We brought her home in a pet carrier and put her in my room. We went to Wal-mart to get some stuff the guy said to get. We got home and we found that she squeezed her way out of the carrier. We didn't know what to do and we couldn't put her in the cage we were going to because she could of gotten out of there too. Some how we got her to go in an extra 10 gallon fish aquarium and we ran to the petstore to get a cage. We got her a cage but it was the biggest cage in the world but it would have to do. We took the pouch she was in and put it in the cage. She was horrible I kinda hated her. She would bite us and scare me half to death with her crabbing. The next day we went to the pet store and there was this lady I was going to get a glider from before but they were to expensive. We were buying some mealworms and she asked what they were for and I told her and she told us a bunch of stuff to feed her and we went straight to the store and bought fruits and veggies and some babyfood. It took her awhile to get used to her new diet. I am happy to say now she is the funnest glider I own and I now own five gliders but the are all special in their own way. Oh yeah and that glider from the petstore has a cage about six feet tall and her name is Sugar. But not all stories like mine have happy endings.
