Subject: Need a new friend and a little advice for Clowie....

I know I haven't posted for a while, but don't worry. All has been going fine. I have been feeding clowie mixed veggies and fruits, either some hardboiled eggs or meal worms, and a constant supply of dried food (it is a parrot food called fruit frenzy) and she seems to be doing fine. I have stuck with the reptovite sprincled on her fruits and veggies, and this too has seemed to work. I haven't tried any of the special recipies like leadbeaters mix mostly because I don't want Clowie to become dependant on such a specific type of food as I have heard some peoples gliders do. I am going to start building her a new and improved cage soon as we are moving, but for the time being, she is happy and all is well. I take her around almost everywhere I go, and normally she is content to sleep in my pocket. She is still not willing to jump far, and I have not seen her glide. IS THIS OKAY FOR A NINE MONTH OLD GLIDER? I capitalized that to draw attention for any who are skimming. Here are my questions....
-Where can I get a glider appropriate running wheel or directions on making one?
-how can I help her to start gliding without scaring the living bejezus out of her?
-And Finally, does anyone know where I can find a list of, or simply a contact for, any breeders in the St. Louis area. I dont want to go to a pet store, both because of bad things I've heard about and also due to their ridiculous price. I don't think 250$ sounds like a good price, but I NEED a companion for my Clowie....
Thanks in advance!! :)
