If you had to tell ONE item below to a new owner (like one that bought from a mill breeder etc) what would it be? I know they are all importatnt, but I would like to know the general census if any are particular. Please only choose 1.
Cage size
No Pellets
Buddy System
No Heat Rocks
Fleece pouch not socks or shirts
Cage Materials
Nocturnal
Do not bathe
Do not file teeth
Keep away from other pets
Quaratine and Introductions
Please don't breed unless have lineage
Neuter males (not available with females)
Take to exotic vet ASAP
Not really for kids
Other (Please explain but don't say "all of the above")

I don't think I can participate in this poll because by choosing one, I feel like it would be saying the others are unimportant. "All of the above" and then some would be my answer.
PERHAPS my answer would be to be patient and do one's research and go to Glider Gossip & Gliderpedia for answers.
OR perhaps question everything a mill breeder has told you and see if it sounds like their reasons are influenced by money (aka being cheap or trying to make a quick buck) or inspired by a need for healthy gliders.
OR perhaps to just be patient and not get overwhelmed. Take one day at a time.

I meant something along the lines of what's the first thing you tell them?

I agree with kyro298. Research should be first and if you cant find your question ask. I found out all those with just looking througgh old threads.
That way, people can vote that don't want to also comment.

I agree with other do your research... However first and foremost find a knowledgegable vet, who can hopefully tell you all the above anyway (f they are any good)
