do they make good pets and has anyone got pics of the cages they are kept in


thanks

Depends on the gliders in question, and what the owner wants out of their pets. We have 8 of the little blighters and all have different personalities. Some are more aloof than others, but with patience and effort they make very rewarding pets.

are they similar to chinchillas?

No, they are a lot smaller than chinchillas, they like it warm rather than cool, their diet is completely different, have different cage requirements, should ideally be kept in at least a pair, and they can volplane.

They make good pets except for one thing that is hardly ever metioned about them.....They stink!!!!!!! i wouldn't advise keeping them in any room where you spend time in alot, such as a bedroom which is the mistake i made and i sold them due to the smell, dont think you will be able to put up with it because you wont

i mite sound like an idiot but wot does volplane mean

I like the smell of my gliders, actually. It's a sweet musky smell.

They are amazing little animals, but require a lot of research put in by their prospective owner before said person is ready for them. Please have a look on Sugar Lumps - Index. Ask any questions you might have on there and I have no doubt at least one of us will be able to answer

Gliders do have a natural odor as do most animals but it by no means should stink, diet is normally one concern with bad smelling gliders among other things

I think i noticed the smell of my gliders more because they were kept in my bedroom, and the door had to be kept shut so that the cat didn't eat them My diet was a mixture of fruits and then iams 1+ cat food for protein, then the odd cricket for them to chase. Could that diet of caused a bad smelling glider?

I actually had my first glider in my bedroom and still liked the smell *lol* Maybe I'm crazy!
