Hey yall! I'm new here and figure why not introduce myself! My name is Jessica. I'm a homemaker, which is just a pretty way of saying I stay at home why the hubby runs off and works. I have a daughter who is one named Jaina. I also have a little sugar glider named Day. In my spare time I like to crochet and make things our of yarn. So I started making some sugar glider things and signed up for the site so I could talk to other sugar glider craft makers and of course, to get to know other sugar glider lovers! We haven't had our glider for very long. Just about a month now but she's doing really well on the bonding. The only time she screams at me if when I wake her up during the day lol. I like to spoil my little glider with lots of toys and love! Right now she's the only one we have because she was a gift to us for Christmas but when we have the money, we plan to get another young girl to join her! Anyways, I think that's all for now! Thanks for letting me join and I hope to meet you all!

 Just a note on your crocheting for your glider, please don't take it the wrong way, but yarn isn't safe for sugar gliders. You can use fleece, or that fleece yarn. I used to crochet for my gliders til I got a sewing machine. Someone taught me how to cut the fleece so it was one long strip.

If it's the holes that crochet makes with its double and triple stitches, that's not a problem for me. I do Tunisian Crochet which is a very tight stitch that doesn't leave gaps between the stitches.

Yarn itself is unsafe. It's made up of smaller strands spun together that can fray, and catch nails, wrap around fingers and cut off circulation. You can cut fleece into long strips and use a larger crochet hook.
If it's washed and dried in a machine, it will cause "pilling"over time with will also catch nails.
The type of crochet stitch you want to use is fine.
Edit: Your work is beautiful. I still have an issue using standard yarn.
If you are in fact selling these, you may want to post a disclaimer about keeping nails trimmed.

 . Glad to have you here! I have a couple of frogs that were crochet with fleece yarn, can't remember from whom I purchased it. I also think they are in my storage unit, not sure. Dawn, love that pouch thingy!
