If I were a glider, I would not like to be contained in a little pink exercize ball. I discovered that only after allowing Wesley to "play" in it. He FREAKED out! He hissed, screamed and cried to be let out... he lost a ton of trust me... it's not all rebuilt either. The balls can be very dangerous to your gliders fingers and toes, also the lids don't always stay on either. There are a lot of horror stories out there, and hampster balls are definately a part of them.

Put yourself in your gliders shoes. Playtime: I get to be shoved into a plastic, smelly ball. It is hard, and my tummy gets upset from rocking. I have limited space to run about, and ... thats just it! I'm not used to running about. I like to be in high places, jumping/gliding from head to head.

I suggest gliderproofing a room in your home or apartment instead of giving your gliders an exercize ball. It to me, seems way more humane.

Just my thoughts.
