: You know, i noticed that most of the complaints about biting gliders, nay, unfriendly gliders, come from those who purchase from pet shops. How do we get the word out to buy from breeders? I have had people visit me and my gliders and after the visit, never buy from a pet shop, but will wait until I have some little ones. I recommend that anyone interested visit a BREEDER rather than a PET SHOP. Let's get the word out!

Hello,
I did buy my glider from a breeder.. She only had one pair.. The environment was clean.. The gliders were not exactly friendy but I figured it was because they did not know my scent. Well my SG is the meanest little guy walking!! I don't attempt to touch him unless he comes to me.. and I still get bitten. My choice to buy a glider was not taken lightly... But when I read about taming and bonding I figured it would be a breeze. Well If I had found this site beforehand I would have discovered it wasn't that easy since lot of people have the same problem I do. A few of my friends had wanted to buy gliders after seeing mine and I told them straight up... It is not easy.. And I think people should read and read before buying one. Then make a final decision. Don't get me wrong I love my little guy even though he seems to hate me!!! Well thanks for listening to me... Linda
