How long can a glider be out during the day with me? Some times I'm out for 7 hours at a time... Common sense tells me that's too long from food and water, but I hate having him in his cage all day. He'd be in a pouch or a mesh bookbag I bought for him so he can climb around and see everything; I just don't want to take him out for too long.

I'm finding they will literally sleep all day in a bonding pouch while out with you. I've had my babies out with me every day since last Wednesday - up to 10 hours. I disturbed them a few times to feed them mealies (I bring a "to go" supply with me). Other than that and them occasionally readjusting in the pouch, they seem perfectly content. They don't even try to get out when I open the pouch to feed and talk to them! It also seems to be rapidly increasing their trust in me and our bond in general.

Bring a couple of grapes in case they get hungry and a small water bottle. What I find to be perfect as a travel water bottle, is the bottle my vet uses to put medicine in.

I figure keeping them in the bonding pouch all day is no different than them sleeping in their cage pouch all day... and mine absolutely do not wake up during the day to eat, drink, or potty. Ever. So while I make it a point to offer them water or at the very least juicy fruits, they obviously would normally just sleep the day away if they were in their cage. So no worries.
