Idk about you guys, but hubby & I have acquired certain quirks after bringing Batman home.
Like, if we're irritated about something in particular, instead of saying "Boo!" or just grumble, we will say, "Crab, crab, crab, crab, crab!"
I call my husband 'Sugardaddy', he calls me 'Sugarmama' and of course we refer to Batman as our 'Sugarbaby'.
We'll occasionally break out into song & change the lyrics a little.
"Sugar in the morning, sugar in the evening, sugar in the supper time" is changed to "Suggie in the morning, suggie in the evening, etc."
Or
"Hush little baby don't you say a word,
Mama's gonna get you a mealie worm!
And if the mealie worm don't taste good,
Mama's gonna find you different food!"
I suppose for you Def Leppard fans out there, "Pour some Suggie on me" would work. ;)
I saw a friend eating an apple & it made me think of Batman.
Any similar stories you'd like to share about your Glider Obsessions? :)

My wife and I have two little fuzzy butts and we are so attached to them it is ridiculous. I get up each morning with our son. Seems the little fellas greet me at the front of the tent with a few barks and hisses until I say something to them. Now that is an alarm clock I can get used to. I have been told that certain noises they make are a sign of happiness. I certainly hope so. They have had a rough go of it until we got them. They are only 6 months old and we are the fourth owners! And the last I should add!!! My advice to people looking for trinket/token pets...Get a spider or snake, something you don't want to cuddle with. Leave the fuzzy butts to people that give a damn about the little fellas well-being instead of the attention they draw to you. Mine are not pets. They are my other two boys. Period! I can't explain it just as the rest of you. They are my anxiety medicine, my anti-depression meds, and the smile on our face when we need it the most. Should have named the Xanax and Prosac! But rest assured Gizzy and Grizzly have found a permanent home with this fuzzy butt Daddy and Momma!!!!! Good luck to everyone and remember they are not pets, they are four legged, fuzzy butted kids that just so happen to be able to fly!!!!! |

For two years my son called me Mama Bird and I called him Baby Bird (started when he was 2). Now, he calls me Mama Glider, or Mama white Mosaic, and he's Little white mosaic.
We, including my husband, "crab" at each other and Little white Mosaic is often gliding around or building pouches on the couch for himself!!
And of course, we're always on the lookout for stuff for the babies! |

I talk about mine all the time, my husband says I am weird, but I don't think so my son is just like my husband, just not into them like me, they go everywhere with me and when I am at work I find myself looking at pictures of them on my phone and even on the Internet. I guess u can say I am obsessed as well, who wouldn't be just look at them.they are so cute |
Alybear Posted - Aug 10 2012 : 09:57:02 AM
Yes, it does feel like another world. Most of my friends only see the 'Awww' factor of the gliders. They don't really understand what its like actually having one. My friends think its crazy for me to be so in love with gliders. They just say "Calm down! Its just an animal!" Most of the time I correct them and say "No, my Baby. This is my child." My best friend often get annoyed that I bring Stitch everywhere with me in my pocket and buy lots of stuff for him.
I was in walmart last night trying to find some new toys in the baby section, and a lady walked past me. She gave me a strange look. (I'm kinda young to be having an actual baby) haha |

My daughter loves the song Mans gotta do from Dr. Horribles sing-along blog. She sings a bubs gotta do what a bubs gotta do. She calls the gliders bubs. |
yecats Posted - Aug 08 2012 : 02:32:28 AM
I'm glad I'm not the only person crazy about the lil guys! I've made some songs about my baby too like "this little light of mine" is now
"this little suggie of mine, I'm gonna let him climb"
We have some braided fleece going from the top of the cage all the way to the bottom and he'll race to the top and hang on with one arm and one leg like he's on look out.
I also call him my sugarbaby <3 |

My world now revolves around my gliders. I'm always looking for things to make them happy and I've lost 17 pounds, they have me eating healthier too. I share my fruit and veggies with them. I'm always looking for ideas for making toys and things. I've been hand sewing bags for them but got some great ideas about making no sew toys and bags and stuff for them today by reading the posts on this website. I'm past the age of having children at home so my gliders and my dogs are truly my babies. I'm as excited about joey births as any new mommu. |

YEP! I know how that goes! These days, even when I'm at work, if there's nothing else to do, I hop on GG or look up toy making parts or check out what Fisher Price toys are on Ebay or Amazon...I don't wanna spend a single day w/o them. So when we go on vacation? They're coming with! (Unless it's to an illegal state, but I think we'll just skip those.) |

My friend was eating an apple and I had to bring up my suggies and I think she got offended she stayed quiet for the rest of lunch..#128541; |

Hottness- I sooooo did the same thing to my fiancée the other night. It was hysterical and makes us feel more connected. |
NaitoHikari Posted - Jun 07 2012 : 10:51:28 PM
I sorta get 'human-glider separation anxiety' when I go out too long without my babies... It's driving my parents insane when I don't stop talking about them and the little perks they have, like, "Do you know how big they are now? Rosie could fit squarely on my shoulder!" Or, "Robin really likes the Wodent Wheel now (he didn't pay much attention to it before I washed and oiled it), he even sleeps in it!" And stuff like that, until my dad (jokingly) said that they had to spare an hour every day for my suggie-related rants =P
Also, I never think that they have enough toys... Every time we go to the supermarket I pop by the toys section, and even visit some other stalls/shops while mom is busy with the groceries... There was this one time I popped by a toy stall and the owner asked me what my bXaby sister would like to have, until I told her that I was looking for something that my squirrel-sized suggiebabies could play with. That got her stumped for a while XD
Yep, it's a whole new world alright. XD being owned by a tiny furball of a creature (or two... Or three, or four, or a whole colony) isn't very big on people's list, haha =P |

Everytime i go shopping im like isaac would like this and this. I am always in the toys. And more than likely he is n my shirt or his pouch. So im always asking do u like this? Want mommy to get u this? And no one knows i have him so theyre always staring. But i just keep talking. I hve a mini fridge that would only be filled with my drinks. Now its fruits and baby food and maybe three drinks. He comes first with everything. So spoiled |

Does anyone else go to a public bathroom & get upset that there are no lids for you to put down?
Oh, how my life is forever changed by my babies! |

I like this idea! |

After we had the Joey, Marcus and I started referring to each other as mommy and daddy around the baby and other gliders. And when he buys the stuff for BML the cashiers always ask about his baby. Its so funny when he says its not for a human baby. |
Paislee Posted - Sep 27 2011 : 08:10:03 AM
I had the same thing happen to me midnight lol |
midnight112x Posted - Sep 27 2011 : 05:54:35 AM
at the checkout counter in grocery store, a nice elderly woman looks at me and says "Little boy or little girl?" Haha |
RChurch Posted - Sep 26 2011 : 10:28:57 PM
And talking to you guys, I feel like I am home. :) Sappiness aside, I mean it. I'm having to explain to my co-workers, friends, fb friends, heck, even strangers ALL the work that entails being owned by a glider. They laugh at first & then they shudder & say, "Oh, that's way too much work for me."
But you know what? Batman's got me eating healthier. There is NO way he can eat all that fruit by himself before it goes bad. And that spring mix I mistakenly bought for him, thinking it was okay to use in his BML diet? Guess who's eating salad every night for a week? :D I fix his meal before I get mine. Even though he almost always eats it closer to dawn. I eat in front of the computer so I can do more research about the Do's & Don'ts of caring for a Suggie, so he's healthy & happy & has a well-rounded life. I've lost weight because of him. I don't know how much for certain, but my clothes are loser & I feel more trim. (I know this cuz I'm--sorry for the TMI---PMSing & I feel...thin...!?! What the--?! LOL! Can't complain there.)
I love him. He's a lot of work but he deserves it. And when you love loving someone...it doesn't feel like work. It just feels like more love. :) |

Been there, felt that.
It really is strange to be a part of this whole different world that no one could really understand unless they were a part of it. Strange, yet wonderful. |
JazzNZoeysmom Posted - Sep 26 2011 : 02:14:52 PM
Yeah, everything you see now has the thought, "I wonder how I can use that for my babies?" Went to WalMart over the weekend & bought some fruit,...the hubby now says, is that for us or the babies? If he wants some we buy "extra."
I bought several coconuts for the first time in my life simply so I can use the shells for toys for my babies. And yes, hubby does the grunt work...cutting and drilling holes.
His filling fell out the other day,...he says,"you better hurry up & buy your cage before I have to go to the dentist!" (I did!)
My whole family now saves plastic water, soda, & the milk bottle caps so the babies can play with them.
They think nothing of the fact that I have crickets & mealworms in my fridge.
I posted on FB the other day that I was cleaning glider pee out of my laptop keyboard...one friend said,...Oh gross! My other friend I have that also has a glider just laughed & said, I feel your pain!
It's definatly a different world. (But amazing!  ) |
