: Just wondering if you have ever gotten your gliders a bed that they love too much? Seriously here, I got them a hanging, large, pocketed fleece peice, and they almost NEVER leave it! It's big enough for them to climb around on and in. It is very unique, and I'm glad they like it, but I do see the potential for some real issues here in the long run.
: a) selfish of me, but What about me? They'd almost rather play hide and seek in their pouch than eat snacks with me!!
: b) once this pouch is destroyed due to their rough playing and cute little feet, won't they go through withdrawl?
: c) the fear of anti-social gliders. They have a perfect little home... why leave it?

: Maybe I'm being too protective of my babes, but seriously... thats what being a mom is all about, right?

: If I could get some feedback, I would genuinely appreciate it.

: Thanks much,

My gliders have a fleece hanging bed too. They love it! I think the security is what they love. I don't see a problem letting them have someplace secure and warm to run to. I understand your delima though. My babies won't give up there warm bed on a cold day for just any snack. But a dab of Gerber chicken and vegetable baby food and the bed gets the cold shoulder any day. When they insist on sleeping in, I put on a pocketed shirt and let them sleep in the pocket.That way they sleep cozily and we bond.
