: Hello!
: I was wondering, what would be a normal price for a glider ? I'm probably going Glider Hunting on saturday and I would like to know if what I get would be a rip off.
I live in Winston-Salem, NC. Only two pet stores in the city sell gliders. The most expensive is $289, but their gliders looked really health and well taken care of. At the other store they are $199, but what I saw there made me cry. They had two babies, under the bright store lights plus an flourescent light on the cage....and had NO pouch or nest box for them. One of the poor things had diarreah (sp.?) so bad his whole little body was wet. they were feeding them hamster food, parrot food, and pedialite. I told them they needed a place to get out of the light, they told me they were trying to order something. I haven't been back there, but I'm sure at least that one probably died. If I had had enough money I would have bought it for a companion for Micah, but I didn't. I wish there was someway to regulate these places.
