I know this topic has been discussed several times. Anyway...I have been combating Glider odor problems ever since I got my male glider. (The female Never created a bad smell.) I thought I had the problem kicked via diet and frequent cage scrubbings. A week would go by with no odor, then suddenly POW, my room was thick with that pungant, acrid smell. The sad part is that I am allergic to this! (I am actually allergic to the gliders themselves much as a person is allergic to a cat. I am more allergic to the male than the female. It's his scent I think. If he crawls on me, each clawmark raises up like a mosquito bite.) Anyway...I still have not determined if this smell is urine, or rather his scent (possibly just large amounts of urine used as his scent?) I am guessing that about once a week he feels the need to mark his territory, thus the sudden appearance of the smell. Which is shortly followed by manic fits of sneezing, runny nose, etc. I will not give up my gliders, and I will be going to the doctor for some good allergy meds (I have other allergies as well). Has anyone found a way to prevent the male from stinking up the joint? Sorry this took so long. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
