: I agree, direct light can kill them. I have red lights in my girls room, so they can see me, and I can see them. You can by them at any store that sells light bulbs. I think they call them party lights (they come in blue/green/yellow and red) the red works great.

I agree. Gliders are made to be awake at night. Their eyes are not adjusted to teh light and prolonged exposure could hurt them. But them I spoil mine so that when they come out my house lights go off. This makes them happier and far more active. PLEASE do not try this. Yet another sick and nasty piece of advice from a pet shop. I wish they were all banned from selling gliders.
: : No, this is not good for gliders, they are nocturnal for a reason. I would never recommend trying to make them stay awake in the day. I don't mean to sound rude, but did you not know that gliders were nocturnal when you got one? You can make them very sick trying to do that. Please don't try.
