You wanted to know how I potty trained my glider...I got her from a breeder when she was just separated from her mom, so getting a baby probably helps. Each time I take her out of her pocket or cage, I set her immediately on newspaper. At first, I had to keep setting her on the paper over and over because she would run off the edge, but eventually she learned that she was supposed to potty. (Sometimes this went on for several minutes) Now she goes before she ever tries to leave the paper. She still has a few accidents, but not too many. My sister also has a glider and she handles it a different way. Before she lets her baby run around, she takes a very soft cloth and stimulates her opening until the baby goes on the cloth. Hope this helps! This was one of my biggest concerns before getting a SG but it has worked out fine...you just have to be consistent and patient :) Happy glidering! Tiffany
