1 bonding, is trusting, it can take time with these little guys, be PATIENT. each one bonds in different times. 2 I use midwest double critternation, also petsmart available. no center divider and bottom poop tray modified to outside bottom of cage. I much prefer this cage, congo, madagascar, brisbane good. 3 I say just get big cage, use treats to help train. with a good live mealworm even unbonded gliders will come visit you for a treat. 4 diet, OHPW or critterlove (same) or BML seem most popular and healthy. video on youtube shows how easy to make OHPW. critterlove I think the same way to make. I dont recommend instant critterlove, my gliders loved the non instant much better, all of them. 5 handle your gliders in a glider safe area so they can NOT run away and hide. closet, empty room etc. use caution in a bathroom, glider don't swim. once bonded they will stay with you or not run and hide. DONT introduce your gliders to other animals, dont use heat rock, dont use a leash. gliders are nocturnal, are you, if you sleep at night, maybe you should get a cat. I spent 1 to 2 hours with my gliders on my 4 days off between 11pm and 3am. After about 1 hour they leave me to take a nap.
