This is a forum for discussion. Placements of messages wanting sugar gliders or selling sugar gliders will be deleted. To new owners of sugar gliders: I do not recommend letting your glider roam free! (Should a sugar glider get out of the cage on its own, PLEASE BE SURE THAT THE LID TO THE TOILET IS DOWNN, or you'll very likely end up with a drowned animal.) Believe it or not, gliders CAN swim for a short time before they become terrified, BUT should one fall in the toilet, it will not be able to get out.

Welcome to the board and thank you for the post.
This has been posted several times in the past, but us "ole timers" forget to bring it to the front for the sake of the newcomers. It is a very important warning. Most people don't even think about the toilet being a very real hazard.
Thanks again.
Be sure to post under "What Time Is It" if you haven't already telling a little about yourself and your glider family.

Thanks, Karen...I'm totally new to the internet and, quite frankly, computer illiterate, but I guess that my warning will save lives for some now glider owners.

This happened to my first glider Sugar Ray( who is alive and well btw). I let him out in my living room to play and I usually check and double check the lid. That one night I didn't. I was on the computer and I heard a splish splashing sound. I swear to God, I just about cleared the conputer desk. I ran into the bathroom and Sugar Ray was clinging on the edge of the toilet soaked to the bone. I don't know how he got out but I learned my lesson...big time.
I haven't met anyone as lucky as me. Everyone else's gliders have drowned  . I guess Sugar Ray had a glider angel.
