Prompted from a thread back in 2015 by DrSnoosnoo.. I've been searching for gliders but it's been far from suitable situations.

I've now reached a point in life where I can give my cat, my partner and myself full attention and decided to look around some more. So... I found 2, 7 months old and a breeding pair.

They are lovely but damn hard to let them settle. Just want to play Laughing

Cannot wait for them to actually trust me and have some fun flying around the house. Mr. Green

Claudia needs to see that video.

If Claudia then says it's still no, Claudia needs replacing.

I couldn't have them in my place as cute as they are, my Gracie would hunt them down and eat them, wrecking
my house in the process. Her prey/chase instinct is very strong indeed, we were going to get a cat. Were...
Cute pets though Paddy. Thumbs Up

Claudia is right, I hate to be "that guy" but I feel strongly about this, they are not pets.

Hope for their sake you're prepared for what's ahead.

Nocturnal animals making loud noises throughout the night when they are most active. Stringent complex diets and most of all these guys are social animals and usually live in groups of about 15-30 not 2.

There's a reason keeping them as pets has been banned in a lot of places.

A lot of irresponsible pet owners out there, all I'm saying is I hope you're not one of those who people who finds the hassle of keeping these creatures suddenly starts to outweigh the "cute" factor.

And to be clear, I'm not saying you are paddy, I'm just saying I hope you've done your research and understand the commitment involved.

I am one of those hippy idiots that thinks that keeping wild animals is wrong though. I used to have a lot of snakes among other things and eventually stopped keeping them because I couldnt stand seeing them locked up.

Of course, they'll be like my cat Dylan, I'd go homeless to make sure they had a good life Thumbs Up

I know they are nocturnal, given the feeding at 3am this morning Laughing Noisy and disruptive, but worth the hassle for sure.

awesome Paddy!

The diet is very easy to keep on top of when you get yourself in a good routine.

I'll try and get some written stuff over to you soon. Keep up the bonding - that reminds me, I'll get the bonding pouch sent to you, too.

Cheers mate.

I managed to reclaim the hoody yesterday and provided them with a tshirt I'd worn for the whole day whilst sitting with them so hopefully... they'll be all smelly and that later.

Going shopping for that sweet potato/papaya/green beans combo along with some other bits. Should be fun.

If kitty was that way inclined. Fortunately, he's a fucking sap and just lays next to them. Had them in a hoody on my legs giving them some attention and he just came, sniffed, laid down and purred away. He is a faggot of the highest order.

It's me. I really want to meet the cat. I also want to meet the gliders, but I don't think they'll be friendly to strangers.

But a cat that's too soppy to even try to hunt prey that is kept warm and confined in a cage, that sounds a cat I would get on with.

He loves people. You'd want to take him with you.

An update after around 6 months.

Well, 2 became 4.

They are getting on so much better. I can now take them out and wander around the house with them attached. They've pretty much bonded with each other, only having issues with 1 girl who has had a pretty shit past. The guy is begging to get out and play everyday before the rest wake up, so 7pm-9pm he's out and gliding around the house.

When he wants back in, he climbs on top of the cage and waits by the treats, 1 treat and he's back in bed for an hour until dinner time.

Few pics of him, the rest aren't up yet and no doubt won't be down for flying until midnight, I'll be asleep by then Laughing
