: i think its a great toy, but easily abused. its not ment as replacement for time spent with a glider or time you don't have to watch the glider.
: but as a toy, it has its place in my gliders fun time, which is carefully monitored at all times. i know the dangers of these balls, i know lots of other dangers for gliders outside their cage. but i also have common sense that tells me if im careful, if i take the right precautions, if i use my eyes, my glider can have this toy.

i thought about it alot because it still bothered me about the lady who had her glider's leg broke. i bet she was watching, i bet it happened so fast she never had a chance. thinking about a toe getting stuck and the ball going high sppeed, i can visualize the twist the glider would do and break a leg. instantly. so i asked my vet, and he had no opinion, hadn't heard anything either way. i was pretty depresssed i knew more specifics about gliders than my vet, and i was tryingt o get all kinds of answers from him.
anyways. i changed my mind, i think runaround balls are bad for the reasons i just stated above.
