So, recently I posted that I was going to have a little chat with my local pet store about the unhealthy habits they have with gliders. So.. I calmly approached the pet store with head held high and an open heart, only to be ignored with my questions on how they are treating the gliders. I started, still somehow calmly, to tell them things that had to be done unless they want to lose their gliders, which I cleverly said would mean a loss in profit. Their eyes bulged for a second, but still nothing happened. I learned today that a shipment of gliders were thrown in together, resulting in massive fights. One glider lost an eye, one glider died, and one had two broken limbs. My heart completely broke in two. My mind started to become jumbled, I didn't know what to do or say. Wouldn't someone learn what NOT to do? Two sets of joeys have been born within the month, according to an inside source, which has also complained about the treatment of the gliders.
Alright.. I'm sick of not being able to do anything. I have to sit and watch these helpless gliders, only being separated by a thin piece of glass. God please help these little guys...

I used to take my babies there for nail trimmings until I saw their display for their gliders. It's sick. I asked if they had a larger cage with wheels and toys in the back, and of course the answer was no. Trying to explain anything about needs was just lost to the wind. I've met the family that owns the store; not very nice people in general, so I've given up trying to sway their practices and just review them constantly about the poor conditions of all the animals kept there. Hopefully prospective customers will go somewhere else with their business.

Is this B&B Pet Stop you're talking about? I've had similar run-ins with this business.

The sad thing is.. I don't think they know you can not just place all gliders together in one cage.
