 Introduction time yay!!

Hi everyone so ive made up my mind and i think its time to introduce my gliders... I have a male named binki ..had him since he was a joey and that was now four years ago.. About eight months ago i purchased baby blair... Meaning shes now around 10-11 months of age... She has gotten big but ofcourse as the male binki is still a bit bigger... Over the long months i would switch their pouches and toys and about. Four mo ths ago i placed the cages near each other for them to see one another.. That first day she crabbed at him ... But i havent heard it since their always running around and looking at each other i noticed that my male is extremely curious about her... Binki is not neutered ....therefore i know the intro will be a bit harder .... I will start introduci g them face to face in the bathroom(neutral area) this upcoming saturday and let you guys know how that worked out...its ok if the gliders breed once... I have done very extensive research over the years.. Once they breed i will neuter my male binki. ..and if any of the joeys are male i will in their appropriate time get them neutered as well,,,ill be honest im really nervous and excited about the intro ut ill be prepared with gloves at hand incase i have to seperate them!! Wish me luck....!!

 Glider updates

[ Hey evrybody its been a while since ive updated you all on my gliders well as you might know i have a 3 yr old glider named binki he is sooo sweet i dont think they come any sweeter than this.. and ive had baby blair for almost 4 months now. .. at first it was hard but lately shes doing great she really seems to be adapting to my brother and my dad... my brother has really gotten over his fear of her bitting him hard and hes doing playtime in the bathroom and she actually prefers to be on him rather than running around and exploring... she lets us hold her without crabbing and she rarely bites now... i believe that before new years she will be tame and pretty bonded to my brother..... i cant wait .... and after this i will start to introduce my two gliders.... ahh how exciting!!!!

six months ago i started to create a more fun envirement for my glider binki. ive had him for three yrs and hes very fun, sweet and playfull. well the point is hes never even approached the wheel..its one of those plastic ones,, its nice and sturdy n theres no chance he could get him fingers caught .. thats y i bought it... i would really like him to use it but ive tried to put him on it n he just climbs off.... i think he doesnt know how to use it or maybe he doesnt find it fun!! well what do u think... n wat should i do about dat...

 MAMA MIA!!

Poor Binki hes had soo many changes this yr but considering hes adapting pretty well. um his cage used to b in the kitchen and it was small, but very comfortable with pvc coated wire... which is the best thing ever out there for gliders but its hard to find and even more expensive to ship.. well we made him a 5 ft cage.. the frame is wooden and its galvenized wire.. i wasnt very happy about this but i wash it like evry two weeks with vinegar water, and soapy water, or just soapy water. well he got moved to the garage which is fine because its open for about half the day ... now its getting real hot in florida so his cage was moved out back into my lenai porch... at least here hell know what time of day it is and come out earlier to play.. well see how dat goes im scared .. but im not at home during the week therefore i cant complain about anything... well im trying to find him a female friend this summer and if i do dat would b great.. if u know anyone selling them in either cape coral/fort myers area or miami please let me know.. thanx!!

 IVE GOT IT!!

so thanx to u all ive made up my mind that this weekeend when i go home im going to change my gliders diet drastically!! um he will definitely be eating vegetables and i will try to balance the whole high calcium foods need as much as i can... i will try the blending and freezing method and if he accepts it i will be soo happy.. it would make it easier on my mother and brother to feed my glider. and while im at it why not have fun!!! and try new flavor combinations.. n ways to trick him into eating the veggies.. i cant wait to go home now n experiment!!!!
