You can let them out for safe exercise by putting them into a hamster ball and letting them run around in that. You can also get one of these balls on a stand for putting into their cage. Another good exercise toy for the cage is the wodent wheel. As for clipping the nails do this mid day when they will resist the least and perceive it as less stressful. Place the gliders into a pouch. Pull out one foot at a time wrapping the pouch around the foot so that the glider can not get to you. Place each nail into the blade of the clippers dragging the nail across the bottom blade of the clippers until in hangs, that is where you want to clip it. After doing each foot offer your glider a small treat while you go on to do the next foot. Do not clip the grooming comb, otherwise known as the two back feet where the toes look like they are fused together.
