Nobody said I didn't have time for my gliders, silly...
Gliders have been in my home for years, some don't stay with me long. Once in a while I respond to one of those "ads" and do what I can do to see to it these little treasures are taken care of. I travel many miles sometimes to pick them up and it always costs out of pocket $$ to do that, and the person looking for a new home for their unwanted expensive (gotta get-rid-of-it now) fad pet wants to get some $$$ back in their pocket. Gliders are welcome here and much enjoyed. They have their own room and spacious cages. They are fed great feasts and each is known by its name and personality.
It's nice to be able to experience many gliders, each one is unique and so individual. I do my best to see to it their transport does not traumatize them. They leave the house hand carried in a bonding pouch, if possible in the morning. The new owner fully understands what to expect with the gliders adjustment to new surroundings and the time that takes. I do like to share in the glider experience. There is nothing like the face of someone who gets to take home a glider, remember when you did? It never happens without thorough interview and introduction.
Goodness, not have time, what a thought. I guess it happens because that's how I come to acquire them. I'd like to have one pair as an ideal situation here but the house has been full of them. They come and go like foster gliders.
Sorry to intrude upon you. I watched for a few days and noticed some postings of "looking for" and "needs new home" and didn't think I'd disrupt glider world.

P.S. I don't breed them to sell here.

: Does this board look like SG Classifieds recently to anyone except me.
: Folks, this is really getting out of hand. Why in the world would you spend the money required and then post you don't have time for your SG and want to sell at a low price or give it away.
: I'm just so confused and frustrated about all these little ones being shifted from place to place.
