Traveling with your glider

Traveling with your glider and things to bring.



Minimum:
  • Food.
  • Water.
  • Several zipper bonding pouches (stressed gliders often soil their pouch, and you don't want a glider getting out while you are driving).
  • Basic first aid kit (in addition to items above; hand sanitizer, neosporin, oral syringes, e-collar).
  • Basic care/feeding instructions available where they can easily be found by others (such as attached to the travel carrier) just in case (God forbid) there is an accident. As well as a "who to contact" list.

Additional suggestions, if staying overnight:
  • Food and water dishes/bottles
  • Toys.
  • Cage pouches.
  • Appropriate travel cage or carrier.
  • Something to cover the cage (may help reduce stress).

Resources may be very important during your trip:
  • List of names and contact info for vets along the route.
  • List of names and contact info for experienced glider owners that can help advise in an emergency.
  • List of names and contact info for other glider owners along the way.

What not to do.
  • DO NOT carry your gliders on your person (in a bra or pouch) while traveling in the car, especially if you are sitting in a front seat. If an accident occurs and airbags deploy, a glider is much safer in a secured pouch/carrier than on their person.
  • DO NOT leave your gliders in direct sunlight, make sure there is plenty of air circulation during the trip.
  • DO NOT over crowd gliders into small pouches or carriers. Make sure they have room to separate from each other if they start getting too hot.

What to do.
  • DO offer water/juice often to your gliders so they don't dehydrate.(McDonalds has 100% apple juice in the small boxes if you need to get some while on the road)
  • DO keep them in secured pouches or carriers when out of the vehicle to prevent escapes.
  • DO take your gliders with you if you get out of the car during the trip. Temperatures in parked cars can become dangerous very quickly.
