lol My last topic about my growing colonies of glider was stuffed away when it got to 100 post. So I will start a second round. Nothing major changed since last topic , Outside of the fact Leeloo ( our little tripod glider) will now jump to me in the mornings( or evenings if i am up late enough) to me from the cage ( or pouch ) so far it been good Elda not loosing any or gaining any weight ( still staying around 50-61 grams)We think her and Squishy are just older than we were led to believe ( not that it matters to me) My wife made me a summer pouch with extra loops on the bottom so I can run a strap around my waist and not swing the gliders about as I work ( so no more bouncing them off of the petter cages or rodent tanks at work ) Sterling our newest glider is not a big nipper anymore (only wants to put everything in his mouth like a little kid lol) I want to work with my boss and set up a safe haven(drop off place for gliders at work and if it goes well expand it for adoptions I set up a proper cage with everything for gliders) IF he ok with it. I just need to find a spot it can work and figure out if i can get supplies and such to sell at work. (like proper safe wheels, cages, diet stuff and such. I know I can work with my wife for making pouches and cage sets.) I know i need to look into this more and such. I think I could use a lot of the contract stuff I gotten from members here and talk it out with my boss and see if they think it would work out. (I would require all males to be neutered before adoptions) SO much to do and plan for and now that it warm time ot start grass cutting lol.

It's great to hear Leeloo has overcome her chalenges! I remember when you got her.
I assume the pet shop is an "Mom and Pop" operation? Those are disappearing and franchises seem to be taking over in many parts of the country we travel in. We seek out "Mom and Pop" stores and shop there when we can.
It's a great idea! I just hope your boss thinks so too. If he doesn't go for it at first, give him a little time and try again. It could be very lucrative for him and bring more customers/ supporters in his door. Many glider owners have other pets they shop for... Ok, I'm stopping here, but my mind is running 90 to nothing on the possibilities... Good luck and keep us posted.
Dawn Be patient, and Trust your journey.... Grace Ruby Mom Fiona, Dot, Stewie and Dad Wish I could turn back time... Miss you all...

Sadly the boss does not want anything to do with a adoption deal or even a drop off for gliders that are unwanted ( worried he need the usda Lic). Plus my wife said no way in ****** we were having more gliders in the house. But I do keep my eye open for those that may need me lol. Plus I got a list of people looking into the idea of having a pair of masters. ( i would only adopt out gliders in pairs for the Glider benefit ) My gliders are doing good still now weight gain on Elda I guess she going to be one of those skinny butts that always look like she hungry.

Mechnut, you tell ringtail that Tucker would be disappointed in her not letting more gliders come in temporarily. It is only fair as there are 34 here right now.

Oh wow. We watch a our friend's glider's while they go to Florida each year. and this year was asked to find them a new home as the rest of the family didn't help care for them and he was getting too busy with work ,and felt he was neglecting them. Mrs Biddle has them and they intro their selves to the rest of her colony lol. I got a feeling I going to end up at a vet one night Ringtail keeps leaving cage doors open when she gets food bowls out or stakes pictures a lot. Lucky by the time I come home their still asleep and I just close the door and give a text.

so due to the weather I was away from home overnight ( and working evenings the nights before so i could not take the glider kids to work ( getting off at 930 pm then going to grab my wife from her job will not work with the gliders wanting to get out explore and eat anything that they may find in the truck,( more worried they get under the dash or into the ac/heater vents.)
Anyhow i when i came home this afternoon (430sh ) I happen to pop my head into the glider/pc room and I had 8 of the 9 gliders looking at me like hey dad. The one Luna didn't give 2 rats butts . I even open the cages and gave little love scratches in my grass smeared fingers and everyone was happy. I gotten out of the shower and I can still hear them popping as i typing this

Isn't it great to be welcomed home by the furkids So true I just widh it was safe to take them with me when i cut grass I know several of my customers would love to see them. I might even have to prevent a glider-napping lol. On a good note we happened to weight Elda and she up to almost 70 grams.and Leeloo up to 94 and our fat girl (Momo)up to 140 grams but they still all happy and eating most the time.

So My crabber surprised me this week by doing something similar when i came home ( she only got the 3 legs and crabs all the time. but she jumped on me and went into my shirt pocket to sleep and was purring and popping. This makes it harder and harder to go and cut every week lol. Last year I called you all lairs if you told me I get attached to such a small bundle of fur.

sorry been busy with work and such ( sprained ankle, next day pulled my back) and during all this trying to work and do the grass cutting.. I can say days I don't have gliders with me I am miserable and can't wait to get home. I been so tired lately ( i worked almost 40 in 6 days ( more than I get in 2 weeks normally ) I also still messed up from my injuries. It has sucked for the gliders too, I had to put something like ice hot on my back 3 different days, Poor Momo got upset cause i would not let her in my shirt those days but i don't want her to ingest anything the icy hot stuff ( it smelled more like peaches than mint ) but we been spoiling them and they let a officer know what they though of him lol..

So we are up to 12 officially and there are still rescues, and other things to contend with. We took 7 of the gliders to the SGGA this year and came home with 8 lol. The 89th glider was a semi planned event about 8 weeks before lol..
My wife and her friend did intros right away after the putting the new boy ( neutered) in with each girl in the bath tub at the hotel and there was a little crabbing ( freya was unsure what sucha a small Joey was at first) but they all get along and he really taken to marshmellow so hopefully this will calm her down some( I can keep my blood lol)

So who our resident head shrink lol . I end up adopting Vino from G3mini, and he been a perfect example of what a glider can be. I know she didn't want to give him up as she had him from my understanding since he was a Joey and he is about 7 years old. I am hoping to pair him with the 2 girls and form a trio ( or with Muffin and Sterling if him and the girl dont get along). I am officially can say I don't have the room to house anym ore gliders lol unless the girls get adopted out ( if they fail to make a trio) I was contacted today and asked for help for a lady and her granddaughter . They rescued a glider than been bounce around a lot before they got him/her. The granddaughter has spent the over a year working with him and is the only one he Trust now. wont let anyone else handle him with out biting the crap out of them. She had to wear gloves and a coat at first and now he and her are best bud's.. I may see if I can help her find a buddy for him and or show her the ropes more. ( They need nails done and are coming tomorrow to have them done , the vet wanted 100 bucks to do them.)

Welcome to my world, Terry! I have 4 gliders, a bearded dragon, a salamander and a hedgehog coming some time today.
The herps and hog should be going back out right away, as I checked all my sources and should have them adopted out tomorrow as I know nothing about herps or hogs.

We had a horrible scare with the rescue yesterday. He had what we think is a stress induced seizure, I ended up face-timing ( I think that what it called ) with bourbon right after it happened. I was texting her mainly to see if I need to get a few speeding tickets and race to the preferred vet or rush to the Er vet since he stopped active seizing. As we talked she suggested to watch him. WE seem to think that with the sudden changes he had in the last 10 days may of overwhelmed him, He been neutered , dropped off to a stranger, with new cage, new cage-mates (do to depression we seen jumped him right in with the 2 girls and restarted their QT), new diet and yesterday I took them to work. I am hopping that it was mainly due to going from ac to truck( which we all know takes any vehicle forever to cool down), back to the ac once kicked out enough cool air that it might of pushed him over the edge and cause his seizure. Once home ( i did a little unsafe driving but fire company years paid off lol)I got him home and he been fine ever since. He was first to the dinner plate last night and was running in the wheel at 4 am when I checked on him.

so I guess we making another glider vet trip to the vet soon. Our oldest glider ( and the one that started us on this slavery trip) seems to have lost a front top tooth this past weekend. She seems find does favor it a little ( thinking it happen the night before we seen it) so might be tender. she still eating like a crazy glider who never had food before the little piggy lol. the rest are all doing great and loving the sissy pouches. ( i need to make a cover for the webbing the ends seem to rub my neck and itch me.
