As for me I carry two of them with me al day long.. what I do is feed them when I eat and give them drinks from a straw of what I am drinking. actually they really like the 2 part coffee stirers the best. and it is so cute to watch...


: I know that many, many people on this page carry their gliders around with them in pouches all day long. My little guy is only 3 months old, however, and I'm a little concerned. I notice that during the daytime he gets up every little bit (I don't really know how often)to get a drink of water, then goes right back to sleep. I always play with him at least a couple of hours a day, but it's always in the evenings. If I begin to carry him with me 8 or 10 hours a day, do I need to wake him up every couple of hours and give him a drink? Or even feed him every 4 or 5 hours? I know that once they are older this probably isn't necessary, but he is so little and sometimes seems so fragile. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

: Kim
