: What fun stuff do you guys do with your gliders? I hear you can play hide and seek with them and stuff. I just want to know what makes gliders so fun. what are they such great pets????

We play catch. We stand in across from each other (2 or 3ft) and coax Busy to jump back and forth between people. Or get him to dismount onto a higher place, like a curtain rod, then coax him to glide to us.

We play chase. We place Busy in one room and he makes a bee-line for another room, then waits for you to come get him and so he can do it again.

We wrestle. Using a bath towel to disguise and protect my hands, I lightly aggravate him into attacking the towel.

We play Hide and Seek. Busy will find some nonvisible place and wait for you to find him or call his name to come out.

We groom each other, take naps together, he thinks of ways to antagonize me (like facehugger jumps) and I think of ways to aggrivate him (like immitating their hiss/sneeze -- he really hates that)

We allow him to play kamakazi with the dogs
