Does anyone know about the strength of a glider's sense of smell? My Tucker knows when I have her favorite treats on me. She loves more than anything, dried cranberries. She likes to sit on the book shelf while Im on the computer, I just went down stairs to get some treats for her. When I returned, she lept of off the shelf onto me and started grabbing at my fist to get to the cranberries. She and I are pretty bonded, but she doesn't typically leap onto me when I walk up to her. Does she smell the cranberries or do you think she's smart enough to know by the look on my face that I have snacks?

I don't know the answer to your question, but gliders are VERY SMART!! Don't let them fool you. Mine only answer to their names when they know I have treats....All treats are handfed because I have some greedy gliders and that allows for equal distribution. My gliders will sometimes suddenly jump onto a stranger. Sometimes they jump from person to person to person, visiting and exploring; but they always come back to me on their own - when they are ready.

They have a really good sense of smell. They use it to find food in the wild too.
My gliders too know when I have snacks for them, or if I check on them after I've eaten something they like, like a cookie!, they come running out to me wanting some too.
