Hi Tim! I'm Whitney, and I think I can answer all the survey questions pretty good for ya. I have only one glider, but I know that with your size cage, you could fit up to three gliders. (2) I gave my glider a nestbox when I first got him, but he tore it apart! It was made of that straw stuff. I have considered giving him another one now that he is older, but he seems to love his pouch! I made him a pouch out of some fuzzy cloth, it isn't very big, only enough room for him to lay in and me to carry around. Infact, it has worked so well, that I have made him two others that I take him around in, and keep the first one hanging in his cage. But my best advice would be to give him a pouch and a nestbox and see which one he prefers. If he becomes aggressive over either one I would remove it. My glider is very well bonded to me. I think that is partly because I only have one and he gets all the attention! He never bites me, he comes out of his pouch when I pet him or talk to him, and he enjoys riding on my shoulder more than being in his cage. I think it is really important to make sure your glider is very well bonded to you before you take him out anywhere (he should know you, and jump back to you when you call him.) Crickett does this and gliders are much smarter than you think, they will learn their names and what is bad and good if you are persistant. (4) I do not really leave my scent, but I carry him around in his pouch alot so that probably has my scent on it. (5) I did not give Crickett a hamster ball when I got him, but my best friend Jane, suggested one, she says her glider loves it, so I got one and Crickett loves it! He is so cute in it! I hope I helped you some, and if you have any questions, just leave me a post! Buh-Bye!
