Subject: Been there and done that Posted by Kim on January 16, 19100 at 14:32:16 from 209.208.5.27 In Reply to: Re: I know what you mean Katie posted by katie on January 16, 19100 at 13:54:11:
I've volunteered at our Humane Society for about 3 years, started when i was 12. It was just dogs and cats but I got tired of the accidents too. After awhile I started taking trips with the manager of the cattery(a neighbor of mine) to their spay/neuter clinic and saw even more accidents. Now when Im hanging out with my vet at the Emergency Clinic I see more responsible people. I could go on and on, but I'll save it! LOL  Anyways, my point was that these gliders are highly social and they should have a buddy if their human cant be with them to the point where they spend more time in the cage by themself. Here's the thing, when people first get gliders it is best to get one and bond, then later get another one after thinking over which sex and/or possible neutering would be best for the one already aquired. It would prevent a lot of accidents and other unfortunate situations(gliders being given up because they "hate" thier person, not enough time/money, etc). Sometimes people are just stupid, sometimes pet stores(or even irresponsible breeders) talk them into getting 2 at once, or even sometimes people have thier heart in the right place by trying to rescue a pair from someone(or pet store) that might be neglecting them. By getting one instead of 2 if there was some reason the person couldnt keep it(even tho they should've researched and thought about every possible aspect of keeping a glider BEFORE buying it) it would be one they had to give up instead of 2, also would help in making a decision about getting another and what to get. I hope I didnt confuse you Katie, or anybody else for that matter. Trying to get it all out and having it make sense too!
