Simply depends on the glider, but mirrors are not a substitute for a companion If you intend to keep a single glider, then you must be prepared to spend much more time with him/her than you would a pair ... much more.

Maybe a plastic one, or just have one at tent time? My only concern is if it can be safe and not break. Dawn https://www.facebook.com/uptilldawngliders/ Be patient, and Trust your journey....

Ones that you can put a small treat in and they can work at getting it out. I often hide tiny treats in a small bottle, easteregg, toothbrush cover, or a tic tac or breathsavors puck. Be sure to wash them thouthroughly. Have you considered getting your little one a friend? How is your bonding going? I know it's off topic, but just curious.
