Hi everyone! Virgo is comming to live with me in ten days! I am going to pick him up on the 8th from a breeder. Gotta drive 2 1/2 hours, but it's worth it. Don't like any ideas of shipping him, or buying one from a pet store. Any tips, suggestion, advice that you may have are greatly appreciated. Also, please visit my site! Can leave me a message on my board. Thanks all

Just to let you know, it does hurt pretty bad to get bit hard by a glider. And they can definitely draw blood!
And the bite usually gets a little infected from their saliva unless cleaned well.

I know this from experience...

Congratulations...
some advice for you..just be patient..it may take awhile before you can hold them and for them to get used to their new home..you are going to get scratched by their nails..and maybe bitten at first.don't be afraid of poop and pee..they will do that alot..especially on you..lol..just give them lots of love...you'll do fine..and if you have any questions..this is the place to go...Good luck and let us know how you are doing...

heheh thats true it can hurt pretty bad when they bite...it can cause you to bleed.


You should have on there the top 10 reasons not to get a glider. There are just as many reasons not to get one as there are to get one.

Well I was sort of joking...but I appreciate it...I hope you realize too many people buy gliders because they only hear good things about them.

Thanks a bunch and good luck to you!!
