If you had researched before blasting me. You would have seen there is a lot of very important good information on each and every post. I answer peoples questions even though I have answered it time and time again, I still answer it. I then tell them to go back and read the archives as if they were asking the questions that were posted. That is to give them more information, As far as very little glider help , again you will see many people are helpped her on a daily basis, not just from me but from many other good posters.. You have donated very little help yourselves, to questions.. to advocate putting a glider under running water (not submerging them) to advocate throwing the glider just to watch it glide..and then to turn around and slam others for not being helpful? Are you picturing new glider owners throwing their glider for fun? Are you also picturing the new owners possibly throwing them and throwing them maybe too hard? or too far? Are you picturing the new owners placeing their glider under running water and maybe possibly getting their heads under the water or their ears..when you talk to new owners, you never know the person individually, you don't know what their tolerance levels are, Many people have been helped on this board and they have been explained in detail many times. It never hurts to go back and read what others had to say on the same subject. I tell a lot of people to read the back archives to get other opinions, that no 2 gliders are alike what works for one may not work for another. As far a good breeders and owners having gliders die for no apparant reason.. there is always a reason. When it happens, have a necropsy done, so you know what caused the gliders death. The many ways different people curb biting, crabbing. Different diets, housing, and how to bond. It is all here in the archives and this section as well covers each and every thing. To stand there and tell people there is very little information or help being given is by far, more of a detriment to the new owners, then someone getting their feeling hurt. And for you to tell me that the best way to help the gliders is to help the owners... you spend the time reading each and every post, not just the ones that catch your eye. They are filled with information again not only by me but by countless others. I am not going to sugarcoat the responsibilities of ownership of a glider nor am I going to sugarcoat the downsides either. If we need to worry if someone is going to get the feelings hurt or their dream of the perfect pet shattered, then NO ONE would respond to an adverse post. There are many different opinions and if everytime someone came up with an opinion different than mine, I went off on a tangent we would have many more posts like this one. I am who I am. I am out to help the owners, help their gliders. Many times people get real off the wall advice, like popping a glider on the head or nose for biting, holding them under water, giving them nothing but catfood, telling them it's okay for them to live in an aquarium, and countless other things that are detrimental to the glider. I will be here always pushing for new owners and people who want to be new owners to research, read the archives, read and learn. I have no problem with answering the same questions I do it all the time, I still suggest they research..It is not a pompus attitude or a know it all attitude it is the facts, the facts of each and every glider owner that has posted on this board. It is what other owners have gone through. It is the opinions of everyone that has posted or ask a question or answered a question. I have sat here and read what you and annoyed have said and neither one of you has given your help to these new owners either. Neither one of you has done anything here to help new owners cope with their problems, But both of you have come on here to slam me for being harsh, rude, and insensitive. I at least have been trying to help. Where is your contribution? How many people care what happens to other peoples gliders months later? I have hung in their with many new owners till they have the bond they want or learn to cope with the fact, that it may take a long time, sometimes a very long time. How many owners of neglected gliders have you had to deal with? Sometimes I am hard, but it is a responsibilty to take care of a glider. Not just for 4 months till your tired of it but for 15 years. Sure they are cute but they bite, nip, pee and poop, they crab, their get frightened and they sometimes are hard to bond with, not all gliders will cuddle or let you get near them, not all gliders will go directly into a pocket, and there are many people out there that believe they are the perfect pets from the begining. Well It isn't always like that. It is a hard fact but it is the truth. My methods may be a little unorthadox for you two but It is my method. If one thing don't work try another. But had you have read the past posts you would have already known I say these things ALL the time. and I will continue to say them. If you two don't care about helping new owners then stand back and let those of us who do want to help continue doing so.. Does this sound harsh.. I am sorry i hurt your feelings, maybe next time I will speak as if I am speaking to children, I would rather speak as if you were responsible people.
