Gliders keep themselces very clean and I dont know there is ever a need to wash them yourselves.
I have never had to wash mine. The only reason I would ever think of to wash them would be if the rolled around in their foood for some reasons.

Dave is right: Gliders keep themselves very clean. The only time they might need some washing off would be in the case of diarrhea. Then I just rinse in warm water and thoroughly towel dry. wink

Actually, you shouldn't wash a glider. They take care of it themselves. They can get hypothermia easily if wet. If they get food or something on them, use a damp q-tip to clean it, then make sure they are in a warm, dry place long enough to dry off.

I use glider glo , a spray bath , just spray it on and it takes out odors , that cleans their fur and skin. Its the best you can buy it here <a href=http://www.animalsexotique.com/shop/getItem/102/view>http://www.animalsexotique.com/shop/getItem/102/view</a>
