Could someone please recemmend a good glider chew toy. I have seen my gliders chew on things in the room when let out. I would like to provide something in their cage that is appropriate. Diane

[:"green"]The best glider chew toy I have found is wood. Make sure it is glider-safe wood, such as maple, apple or pear. If you put a stick of it into the cage, your glider will enjoy stripping the bark off of it & chewing on it, too. If you cut sticks from trees in your own yard, make sure they have not been sprayed or fertilized in at least a year so that they are non- toxic.

I agree, glider safe branches are the best "chew toys." My guys go crazy when I put a new branch in their cage and love to strip all the wood off. Then I just replace with a new one <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumb.gif" alt="" /> Here is a link to a list of Gliders Safe branches http://www.isga.org/informationcenter/BooksandReferences/safeplants.htm

Where are you finding these tree branches? At the pet store or somewhere else? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

If you go to your local plant nursery, you can ask them to help you find one of the plants on the list. Just make sure they are pesticide free.
Then I would scrub down any branches you use and (if small enough) bake in your oven. Once cooled they'll be safe for your gliders <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumb.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the idea! I honestly never would have thought of that very obvious solution before you mentioned it. LOL
