That is what he says Aimee; that they can't sleep well if they are being jostled around all the time. Which I can see and relate to. I also see where, like you say, people say they keep them with them all the time....so I just figured that it must be ok. But I guess if lots of others threw their gliders off a cliff I wouldn't do that either.

I think it depends on the glider. Some may like to be "carried" so much they sleep better. Others may not like it as much and sleep better in their cages. Jill Marie is right...and in fact, I should have probably added this to my post above because it's true. My Teeka, if given the choice, would be on me at all times. And when she is, she is absolutely dead asleep, no matter WHAT I do. The rest of them, not so much. So while I still feel that they get their best sleep undisturbed in their cage, there are always exceptions to my "rule".

I would never carry one all day out unless I had an exception like Aimee's Teeka, but if I'm laying around the house on my day off I only really put them away if I'm cleaning or jostling them too much as to where they can't stay asleep

I think it depends on what you're doing and your gliders. Riddick sleeps GREAT on me, better than in the cage. Baby, not so much. So, sometimes I'll carry Riddick for quite a few hours, but add Baby only when its getting closer to tent time so if she wakes up we can play.

The ones I carry all the time actually sleep harder on me than they do in their cage pouches. It is like they know I am there to protect them so they don't have to be on guard for predators.

I have a few gliders that will sleep all day in the bonding pouch with me. My glider Stimpy will sleep in my bra for hours on end without waking up. I will give him some treats and water and he will go back to sleep. I think it depends on the glider and what you would be doing while you have them on you.

I used to take mine with me to work almost every day. I don't do it any more because I felt that I was disturbing their sleep. Between getting up 100 times during the day, going out to appointments, and loud people in and out of my office, I felt it wasn't good for them.
However, if I'm home relaxing, watching a movie, etc; then they're on me.

Ya, I guess it really just depends on a lot of different factors. One of my boys likes to be on me and sleep - the other is really fidgety and moves around a lot and is up and down.
Would it be ok to have one on me and leave one to sleep alone in the cage? I'd hate to upset the one left behind; but in the past he's just curled up in a pouch and seemed fine.

I, personally, think it's best to keep them together, either way you decide....JMO.

My babies sleep through ANYTHING, for HOURS. They go in the pouch, fidget for a minute to get comfy, then they're out like a light. I clean, vacuum, laundry, wash dishes, go out for drives, whatever. They are fast asleep from about 7 am to about 8 PM, then its fun/sleep/eat/fun etc throughout the night. I have 4 of them, I don't like to leave one "home alone" so they almost always go together. Or I'll let one go back to the cage, and just wait 5 minutes, because they'll be wanting back in the pouch lol. Like dogs and potty breaks. I do ALWAYS have a collapsible travel cage in my car should someone really wanna be off and alone, but I still have never had to use it for that. So thats my 2 cents on this, and the gliders seem very happy. I might note, I keep them in a sling style pouch JillMarie made. They do NOT sleep well in a plain windowed square pouch, they hate swinging around in any way, and they don't like windows. They have yet to crab in public. EVER. Maybe a sneeze or a cht now and then.
Whatever you decide, if someone wants OUT, let them OUT, don't force them. Good luck!

I think it really does depend on the glider. If I bring my pair with me one will crab at anything that wakes her and if that wakes my boy he will then pull a the sides and corners of the pouch - I only bring them if I know I won't be doing any jostling and I won't be in a place that wouldn't tolerate crabbing, lol! My newest little girl I have had on me all day every day since I've had her - she sleeps so soundly that at one point when I wanted to show my friend I had to pet her for like 30 seconds to wake her up! I almost thought she was dead. But no, just as sound of a sleeper as I am

I leave mine in the cage until 1 in the afternoon so they can get some good sleep, then put them in the pouch for bonding. They're so used to it now that they barely even notice the move.
