I think Tiffany had some good suggestions, be very careful! I have on occasion
had to bathe my glider (once even because she jumped in a paint bucket!) and I
think it is pretty safe-just treat it like you would a baby, no soap in the eyes, don't dunk it,
and rinse well to get all of the soap off. I have heard of people using mild baby shampoo.
Your glider might fight you all the way (mine does) so make sure her nails are short before
bathing!
Depending on what sort of cage you have and your glider smells because of it, I have found using
Dr. Bronner's all natural soap works well to scrub it down. You can get it at most natural food
stores, and it comes in yummy glider flavors like Eucalyptus.
