: I hope everything is going better for you (personal life). Good to hear your lil ones are doing well though! The nail clipping subject has been discussed before. You could also try putting the sand paper underneath their food dishes. If all else fails - people have been taking theirs to the Vet to do it with assistance. I guess if all else fails and the vet hurts them - they are in the right place! (J/K!!)
: Hopefully you have a qualified Glider vet near you to assist..
: The noises I am not aware of.. Someone else may have to answer that one.. Maybe Glider dreaming.. *giggle* I don't know, but I hope they are O.K.

: Good Luck with you and yours.. Please keep us posted!

Shoot, I can't get my Vet to clip my gliders nails....
He told me it is part of there natural habitat to have them, they need them for defending themselves, as well as climbing..
Well the climbing I can see yes, but the defending...
Who or what are they defending themselves from...
Can anyone send some feedback on clipping them.
I have had expierence in clipping dogs, cats, nails but not much of the exotic line of nails.
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated
