Oh I hope you find him soon! Have you tried chicken baby food? It has such a strong smell maybe that would work.
Noise makers maybe during the day like can of pennies or crinkling bags or aluminum foil?

It is dirty but you can try flour on hard floors and watch for footprints.

Nothing new to report.  The cat toys are plastic balls with little bells inside. No catnip. I got desperate last night and let one of my kitties loose and followed her around for hours. My critters are going crazy being locked up all the time. I've been rotating them out the past few days, but I don't know what I'm going to do when the weekend ends. My boss told me to take Monday off if I need to. He is so understanding. I'm just starting to really worry.  What if he got outside somehow? What if he overheated in the attic? What if he's hurt somewhere? I feel like a bad glider mom. I'm so sorry, Linda!  *deep breath* I'll keep on looking. I'll put a temporary cage outside with a pouch and food. I need to pick up more yogurt and fruit as all the extra food bowls the last few nights have caused me to run out fast. I'll just keep on doing what I can. I'll take it one hour at a time.

I'm still praying that you find him. I can't imagine the stress your feeling right now. Your NOT a babd Glider Mommy...this is strictly accidental! Please try and stay calm, I know it's hard and very heartbreaking.

I just now saw this, and I wanted to offer my sincerest hopes and prayers that you find your boy safe and sound!! also, i read somewhere that gliders can go days without eating...so don't freak out if nothing you set out is eaten...just beware of cleaning, they are animals who use their noses, and if you through off their scent they can become lost...so long as it doesn't rain in your house you should be ok...

Is it possible to maybe move their cage to a more open area of the house...maybe if your suggie starts barking or calling for your lost suggie...he'll be able to find his way back to the cage? Set a pouch on top of it or something?

Nothing today either. I'm starting to fear the worse has happened to my little guy. I won't give up hope. I'm still compulsively checking pouches, pockets, and laying out food, etc. I ran to the store last night and stocked up on some favorites of his and a few special treats to try to lure him out. I took today off work to be able to stay home and look for him. Boss told me to take as long as I need.  I think I'm going to take tomorrow too. My sleep schedule is all messed up, but I just have to keep looking. Hopefully, I'll have good news soon.

Oh my gosh, so sorry to hear this, I have the fear of mine getting out because I forgot to lock a door. Have you considered making a recording of the noises they make, they are here on this site I think someplace, and playing them over and over on either a cassete machine or make a cd of them? Just a thought. Or maybe getting another glider male, not neutered, just borrowed that marks his cage, that might bring him running? Just another thought. He is just lost and not sure how to get back home, a friendly call or smell might bring him running? Best of luck and hope to hear her is back safe and sound.
As time goes by and my loves pass. I will forever be greatfull for the time we had together. I will see you soon my loves.

I'm sorry. It's getting harder to post updates because nothing has happened. I haven't heard him or seen any signs of him at all. It's like he just vanished.  I even put out some total junk food last night just to see if that would entice him. Cody took off work today and crawled through the terribly hot attic trying to find him. He spent hours up there, bless his heart, and didn't come across him. We have literally checked everywhere I can think to check and we keep checking over and over. It's hugely frustrating and very, very sad.

I lost 3 this way. I like to think they are free in FL making WFB babies all over the place. I know mine got outside so that was a bigger part of my not getting them back. All that great FL freedom. I would also like to point out others have gotten their gliders back after months of them being gone. One was inside a couch when (he/she had been gone over a month) I have no idea how they make it but they can and do hence the name lil buggers

Well, I've tried many of the suggestions given and others I've worked into my routine (like checking inside cabinets and under appliances). Still, I've seen nothing of my little man nor have a heard a thing. Thank you again for the support.  It means a lot to me right now. I'm hoping he is just taking a long vacation to be a free young man and then he will come back. I truly hope that I get to kiss his little nose at least one more time...
