Hello,
Lots to learn, but no one ever knew it all from the start, right?
I would not ever keep them outside, they are safer inside at comfortable temps with us.
They are very social animals and do live in large groups in the wild.......but you can keep just one. If you choose to do that, you MUST make sure that you devote plenty of time to that single glider though. They will bond with you whether you have one or more. You are their safety zone. They are nocturnal, so they will be active at night......are you willing and able to spend at least 3 hours each night playing with your single glider?
I take my babies with me often when I go out of the house, they are in a secure bonding pouch and I make sure to take treats and water for them on extended outings. They do pee & poo on you sometimes, but it isn't too bad and as long as you have some paper towels on hand, it's easy cleaning.
They do take some specialized care, but most pets do. If you are willing to go all out for them and learn how to care for them....the rewards are amazing. I have 13 of them living in 4 different cages. I also have a Genji tent that I break out nightly for "TentTime" playing. I make my own sleeping & bonding pouches as well as plenty of toys to spoil them with.
This is SugarMama (on my knee), KaniNobe(their son) & SugarDaddy during tent time.....
And SugarMama on my knee enjoying a mealworm......
And here is Boudica with Duckee riding piggyback (can only see Duckee's nose).....
