Hi all, i love the page! i just recently got 2 gliders from a pet store ( I know that this is not recomended, but they seem to be ok). I got them about 3 weeks apart, and my female is much smaller than my male. Tamur (the male) is doing well, except that he likes to run away alot, but i've tried to back off a little and let him cometo me, and this seems to be working well. My major questions are about their eating habbits. I know that they need a very well balanced diet, but how can i force this upon them if they seem to only like certain foods? I'm afriad to leave them with just what then need, because maybe they won't eat it and will be hungry. But in the same way i don't want to give them what they want and disregard their well-being. Also i have read many things in here about pouches, carying cases, glider suppliments etc. I'm wondering where i can get some of these items. I got some glideraide from a small breeder that i met, but i am out and i know thati need more, i'm just not sure where to obtain it. Also, the other mix that is good, I think that it may start with a "B". And lastly, i have read about a "skin pulling" dehydration test, how is this administered properly, and what am I looking for? Thank you for your time and help, Mandy, Tamur and Gidget
