Well, my girl has no wheel but i do bring her out to play and run in the playground. It's dirty i know so id always clean her paws with water so she'll get wet abit is it okay ? Or i should buy a r.wheel for her to play with?

Recently i was thinking if they dont exercise, is there a possibility for them to go weak or unhealty?

Outside??

Babygurl, if you do mean outside, that is not safe.

Why dont you take your gliders in a tent or a glider proofed bathroom?

i agree it only takes a second for something to go wrong. do you let her run around on her own or do you use a leash? if you use a leash those are very dangerous and can harm gliders. they have a cheap wheel on the site i gave you that you should be able to get.

yea.. outside. My dad doesnt want me to buy a tent sobs and the toilet ah~ they are renovating and now its dirty. I tried living room but she doesnt move and just stood there so I have no choice but to bring her outside. When she's outside id keep an eye on her and she'll just happily play around then she'll run towards me so~ i thought its a good idea to let her run outside. Is it.. a bad idea? sobs

no playing outside with the glider. you can take her out when she is in a bonding pouch but she should stay in it. she needs a wheel. or at least a very very big cage. see if you can do some chores or do some yard work for someone or walk some dogs or something for some money.

Can you clarify this? You only take them out of the cage and play with them for half an hour, or less?

Your glider shouldn't be running around on the ground outside. What would you do if a cat or dog came and killed it? Or if your glider scampered up a tree and refused to come down?

I usually let mine have free reign of my boyfriend's glider-proofed bedroom for about 2 hours a night.

Oh my! Dear, just get the wheel asap, in the meantime keep your glider indoors, please. I don't know where you live, but there are predators out of doors, and also the chance your glider can run off and get lost. Try to get your glider to run around over you, or through your hands, anything, the glider should move about eventually when out of cage.

oh~ there's no pet and trees there.. just grass and court.. but she'd always run back to me.. so its kinda like a come-to-mummy game :3 she dont dare to go far from me.. that's why i give her freedom outside. plus im always cautious so.. yea..

since everyone says its bad i wont do it anymore but i will find some indoor's court for her to play at since i don't have a wheel yet.

I would definitely invest in a wheel. I had the wodent wheel until I read some of the horror stories here about them. I recently switched to the cage mounted Eco Raptor, and my babies LOVE it. I love the fact that the track is big enough for both of them to get in there and play, they are so much fun to watch. And now I don't have to worry about them getting hurt when they start hopping around in there. :)

see if your dad will let you do chores around the house or if someone in the neighborhood will let you do some yard work. all you have to do is earn $1 a day to get a wheel in a month. remember you are your glider's parent and she is depending on you to provide for her basic needs (cage,toys,wheel,vet/health care,a proper diet)
i know its hard to get them things when you dont have income. i dont have a job either. mom used to give me some money here and there when she had more babysitting kids but they are all in school now. right now i just help with my niece and her dog for free and do other stuff and my parents help with their food. i saved every bit of money i get and put it toward the gliders vet care or their other needs. i also take advantage of any time i get gifts (birthdays, Christmas)and get things for the gliders. its been a long time since i ever bought anything i want or used to buy for myself lol but thats ok. my boys have a stealth wheel, a huge PVC cage($200 paid for it myself parents bought me a nice metal cage for x-mas but i decided to upgrade after a year), cage sets, toys(i got some of their toys from yard sales and thrift stores only cost me a few dollars)and my steam cleaner.i wish i could buy them more but i have to save the money for stuff i really do need to get them.
so it can be done you just have to put some effort into it. im sure your parents would be happy to see you working so hard to afford what your glider needs. if you need any advice just ask or you can PM me ^_^

You can get and eco raptor from that link for $25 plus shipping. If our dad won;t let you get a wheel, what are you gonna do when that glider needs a vet? She'll never have a buddy?

Absoutley no outside time for gliders, unless they are in the safety zone of a zippered bonding pouch. Where you got that idea is beyond me, gliders should never be outdoors "running around" there are far to many hazards: other animals, birds, sharp objects, trees to climb into, and pesticides that are sprayed that can harm your glider. Also you said you wash her feet off after wards and she gets a bit wet? thats a deff. no also, gliders do not need to be bathed, if they are healthy they will clean themselves and do so often...

take the advice of everyone and save up to buy your glider a wheel, for now just take her out in your bedroom for a few hours each night. Make sure you glider proof your room, watch Ed's (LuckyGlider) youtube video on glider proofing and keep a watchful eye. Right now you are just asking for trouble and for your glider to either get sick, hurt, killed, or lost...
