Wasn't sure where to post this question, please move if its in the wrong spot. Thanks I was looking at pictures on google and came across glider harness and leashes. Are glider harness/leash safe to use? Not for unsupervised but when you are going out and about or something? I have heard that it can hurt them But I wanted to ask peoples opinion on here to see what everyone's thoughts are one them. Here is the website that I saw the harness/leashes: www.eclecticpets.com/myharnesses.html

Harnesses and leashes are not safe for gliders at all.

Harnesses and leashes are a big bad wolf to me. Many stories of hung gliders, strangled and torn patigiums have come from the grapevine of the dreaded leash and harness contraptions. If you want to take your gliders with, it is best to take them in a secured bonding pouch or a secure carrier. Superpet makes a very nice carrier. You can find them at pet places all over!

I only checked out the page with the leash/harness but wounld never use it or any other for that matter! It goes right over the patagium (gliding membrane) and can cause damage to it, not to mention how quickly gliders move about. I only see disaster with any type of leash or harness. On another note, at the bottom of the page they have jingle bells listed to add to the harness and these are also very dangerous for gliders. Their nails can be caught in them and ripped off. No good, in my opinion.

I have to say I am skeptical as well. The page says that a glider would be more aware of a harness than traditional leash???? and discourage them from gliding???? Gosh I don't know about you but the air display is part of the charm of owning my gliders! Denying them that seems cruel in the first place, besides all the health hazards associated.

This is a NO NO. Enough said already above.

Those are horrible. I don't know who could put one on a poor little glider...

no no no...how about bonding pouches? i know someone who could make some for you for a great price and it's excellent quality. it will only work in the morning when they are sleeping but it's a cozy way to get close to your gliders. p.m. if you want more details.
