As kady had said the falling and breaking a leg is always a possibility.. what about him trying to glide further than he is able? Of chewing an electric cord, finding a very small hole that you may have missed, getting stuck under the bed or in a worse case scenerio he falls asleep on your bed and you not know it, and roll over on top of him..Getting his claws stuck in a piece of clothing, and twisting and turning, finally panicking and break his leg.chewing on an earing and getting it stuck in his mouth. You do know they have no tolerance for pain don't you, you do know they can dies of a broken leg? what abot the fact they can get electrocuted or squashed.. what if you got out of bed and didn't see him and stepped on him..No UNSPERVISED playtime.. Would you leave a toddler alone to play for a full day? of course not there is too many things to get into..If you feel you are responsible enough to own a glider, then be responsible enough to make sure nothing could happen to him..Protect him at all costs.. but lets hope this time it isn't at the cost of his life..I have heard too many times about the neglect of leaving a glider out and unattended..It sickens me at the thought of how many gliders have lost their lives because the owner didn't think that things could happen to them.
