I try to get in a few hours a night. Some nights it's on and off-in and out of their room while they run free in it but I like to just sit and play too.

I usually spend at least two hours playing with them per day. The time of day depends on them, as sometimes they want to play early in the day and sometimes at night.

Well I just got my gliders less than a week ago. They have been sleeping until 10pm and going back to sleep at 7am. So I try to hold them in their sleeping pouch during the day for an hour or 2 while they are sleeping and then play with them for 2 hours or so at night depending on when they wake up. I'm easing into it since they are adults and were bonded to their previous owner. I don't want to scare them or to stress them out too much in the transition.

I have 13 gliders in 6 different cages - plus a cage of 3 rescues. They cannot all get out of cage time each night, sadly. So - I carry 2 cages in a bonding pouch with me each day, then let a different 2 cages out for an hour each for tent time. They have a schedule. I just got the rescues back on Monday - I haven't incorporated them into the schedule yet. I'm letting them settle.

I don't carry my gliders with me during the day. I just don't really feel like it's safe -- and mine don't seem to sleep well when I have in the past.

They get about an hour to two hours of tent time a night though.

my girls get off and on play time varying between two hours and 4 hours, they get tired and sleep so i put them away when they go to sleep again and then i head off to bed. Some days they like to play at 10 to one in the afternoon though so i will play with them then to and let them adventure my room.

Depending, I'm working on increasing my time with him and out of cage time from the current average of 30 minutes per day. My goal is between 1-2 hours on average.

My gliders and I have slumber parties in our tent! I usually am woken up by lil fingernails in my ears..that's how they like to wake me up if I fall asleep with out them being passed out first. So usually about six hours a night.

My girls get a few hours in the pouch with me about five days a week, and anywhere between 2-3 hours of tent time every single night. Tent time is my fave!!

trkerglider- Turn the lights off. they will eventually come back. I put a pouch on the ground and put a yoggie in it. When I had my babies in the travel cage (a kennel that they ship puppies in) Pixie got out. I turned the lights off and she came out, climbed up my shirt and in it and fell asleep.
