Ok, I read in a book on how to encourage your glider to glide to you and it said to put them on something maybe a chair thats not too high up and take a couple steps back on your knees and have their favorite treat in your hand and show it to them after you put you glider on the chair and hold their treat out in your hand and hopefully she'll glide to you, hope this works.

I can't believe her previous owners would put her on the ceiling fan! That is so cruel. And just to throw them up in the air?! I'm glad you got to buy her, she'll probably be a whole lot happier with you, and more safe.

: I was reading some earlier posts about floor gliders. Puddin one. I think her previous owners traumatized her too much and she won't glide. I heard him telling friends about how they would put her on the ceiling fan and turn it on. Or sometimes they would just throw her. Anyhow, she doesn't glide, she will crawl on the ground to where she wants to get then climb up. I have had her for over a year and she will now make little hops, like two inchs up on the cage to the floor. Any ideas on how to get her gliding again?
