hey guys im thinking about getting a glider. ive never owned one befor so i have a few questions, ive been reading through a lot of the posts on this forum but i didnt see one about outdoor caging.

so my first question, is it ok to keep them in an outside cage? where i live it does get really hot in the summer (like in the hundreds!)is that to hot? it doesnt get to cold in the winter like at night the coldest it ever gets is maybe in the low 40ies, is that too cold?


my second question is, is it ok to just own one? and if i do get two would that make it less likely for them to bond with me? i dont know about gliders but ive heard that with birds if you keep 2 together they will bond with each other and although they can still be nice to you they wont really bond to you, is this true at all let alone with gliders?


my third question, once they bond with you is it ok to take them outside, or will they try to run away from you? and do they like to be pet/touched or are they more like my rat that just likes to do its own thing and run all over you?


and last but not least, is it true that they will pee and poo on you every time you take them out to play? i wouldnt really mind if they do, that just means i couldnt really take them places with me unless they stayed in their pouch the whole time.


any help will be greatly appreciated! =]
