Well, just 4 more days until I'm getting the new little girl! Rue has been getting lonely lately, barking for hours at night and even barking in his sleep. He seems desperate for the company of another glider. Some of you may know that I didn't intend to get him in the first place. My boyfriend's little 11 year old brother got him and had him for only a short week before deciding that he was bored of him. If I would have made the decision to get a glider, I would have done my research months before.

I wish that they could've done their research and gotten him a friend from teh get-go. But at least now he has a good home and a buddy!

So, this Saturday I'm driving with my boyfriend to Clarksville, TN to get this little girl. She's so adorable in pics. I couldn't be more excited! I'm very ready to start bonding and the intros. I'll post pics and more journal entries after I get her! Wish me luck. (:

Bringing home a mosaic female in July! (: My Bio
Hi, I'm Sierra! I'm 19. I live out in the country with lots of animals. I've been around animals my entire life and was introduced to Rue, my first glider, the December of 2011. My boyfriend's (at the time) younger brother wanted a glider for Christmas. His mother bought Rue from a local breeder. After only a week, the kid (11) was tired of him. The whole family was "scared" of his crabbing noise. They also believed that he was okay with just some pellets and apples. He was also in a little tiny cage in the dining room. Since he was in the family "hang out", it was constantly loud with dogs barking and a two-year old screaming. I would come over every other night and hold Rue. I would take him into the bathroom where it was quiet and just feel sorry for him. It became time that they decided they would sell him on Craigslist. I didn't want the little guy, who I had come to love, just going to any stranger. So I instantly volunteered to take him. I brought him home in his little cage. He didn't have a pouch or any toys, just a sock. I held the sock close to me all day while I researched all that I could about gliders. I purchased a large cage, lots of toys, pouches, and got him on a good diet. It wasn't long before I got him a little cage-mate, Lively (Liv) and they had two joeys! Felix and Baxter. Felix has recently passed away and Baxter went to live with my friend and her lone glider. Now Rue and Liv have two more joeys (were held in stasis). They're two females.
