Ok, so I have been researching stuff about gliders since around the end of February/beginning of March and I was wondering what I should research. I have researched diet, cage sizing, the things to consider before getting a glider, making sure they are a good pet for me, toys and pricing, vets, and this website which has just about everything!

People always say that they keep researching stuff even after you get a glider, but what is there to research??

Thanks in advance!

Oh goodness, there is just so much to learn about these little guys, you never really stop. It's great that you've started with such a good foundation, but even the most experienced owners still find new things out all the time.
There are a few other good forums though that can give you some different perspectives: The Sweet Spot is a good one to join though hopefully you will never need most of the info there, it's mostly a medically centered forum, but a great spot to turn should something unusual turn up.

I just got my gliders not to long ago and I researched like crazy before getting them but in the little while I've had them I've been researching a lot on noises they make what they mean habits they have biting different nips why they bite/nip how to handle it and stop it and treats but im sure there will be more

One of my main research subjects lately again is glider safe foods,plants and trees, and I am going to grow them organic edible flowers to eat(now it's finally spring and maybe I can grow something).

Another is finding toys and furnishings for them for in their cage and for tent time.

I also like to check ebay to see what toys vendors are making and if I can make for them myself or for any cage sets or pouches.

And I have researched diets about every 45 days...everytime it's time to make a new batch I try to change up something or even switch to a different diet all together because a diet isn't any good if they are not going to eat it as they say, and my gang goes in spurts but never consistantly clean their bowls no matter how I serve it!

there will be a lot more to look into...wait til "Glideritis" sets in...

Etsy is a great place for toys and pouches.

I have a banana peel shaped cage pouch. It's super cute!

I've also bought several toys.


www.exoticnutrition.com is a great place for toys. I also got my cage from there.
