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!
