: As far as the nail thing, I can't imagine going a week let alone a year go by without trimming my glider's nail. You'll soon know when you have to trim your gliders nail when it starts to have problems moving about on your clothing. It is very dangerous to ignore such grooming practice. As far as what the breeder said about going a year without clipping nails, I think he/she may have said that in order to make you feel better about getting a glider, especially from him/her.

Well, how often you have to trim their nails depends on the glider. My two boys have very dull nails and do not need to be clipped at all.
My girls nails are super sharp and have to be trimmed every week. If its really painful when your glider climbs on you, then you need to trim the nails.
