: Lately, it hasn't gotten very warm in the area that I live, and it's even cooler in the house. I'm about to buy a small baby glider so I have a question before she comes home so she'll be comfortable. I know the temperature is supposed to be high (at least 70 degrees F).... I was wondering.... how
: does anyone keep it that warm? Heat lamps?
: thanks,

In Florida it is the problem of keeping them cool enough it is so hot here now. I will try to describe a contraption I use for raising baby squirrels. Since it is a baby you can keep it in an aquarium with a lid for awhile. Put sticks in there for it to climb around on though. Buy a Nite lite plug it into a small extension cord. Put the light down inside a pickle jar or something similiar. Pull a sock up over the jar and tye it around the extension cord so the glider cannot get downinsde the jar. Snake the cord out of the lid of the aquarium and plug it in. Only use the bulb that comes with the night lite. Don't do this with aregular size light bulb. The small ones give offenough light to keep it cozy but not too hot. Good Luck
