so you are never going to go near him when your gliders are out . Remember gliders are curious creatures that will jump onto him if he is near especially if he is a common visitor. You will end up beleiveing what you really want to but I repeat I have seen FAR TOo MANY people getting rid of their gliders from allergy reactions. and no it is not a dander problem
: : gliders can be very allergenic. They tend to urinate little driblets that can cause allergy reactions and their claws are extremely allergenic. They scratch you (unintentionally) and leave little welts behind as their claws are full of so many bacteria. I have lost count of the number of people who have sold tehir gliders because of allergic reactions. If you dont believe me just check this small time period of this board there is at least one. gliders are a really bad choice for peopel with allergic reactions.

: well, he only seems to be allergic to dander, and he wasn't planning on handling the glider at all. Do sugar gliders produce alot of dander? And since gliders are so small, do you think the dander would be a problem if the house was well ventilated? I mean, they're so small they couldn't produce too much...
