Hi, I’m new here but I have been following this glider thread for a very long time. I’m not a glider owner yet because I not yet finish my research and gliders are so adorable and yet so complicated. Another reason I not yet get a glider is also because everyone here are advising people not to get a underage joey.
Lately I notice something strange happen in the glider thread, few of the people here are starting to promote Toby Pet and I was wondering why. I always thought they are selling underage joey, they have no knowledge about glider and we shouldn’t support them.
Today I went to Toby Pet to check out their glider, and I saw all the underage joey there look so sick and pitiful, and the worker actually can tell me they are 2 months old, and they only need to eat apple, grape and so call “glider food”, and if I remember correctly got one senior member here have pointed out is actually a dog food.
And then when I saw a poster stick on the glider tank then I understand why people here are start promoting Toby Pet, which a senior member here actually selling her product there. I’m so disappointed when I saw she actually can supply and supporting them to sell underage joey when she actually have told us not to support pet shops selling underage joeys. In fact she got say:“WE HAVE TO BE CRUEL TO BE KIND”, meaning don’t buy when they look pitiful because people will continue to supply.
I always thought we shouldn’t buy from (or supply to) this kind of pet shop, because “WHEN THE BUYING STOPS, THE KILLING STOPS”.
Perhaps it is true what some other forumers say, it’s all about the money.
I’m very disappointed and I have lose my faith with the senior people here as they are not honest with what they say.
Just my 2 cents.

Flexariums, you can find at a few pet stores. I do not Toby pets have, and sometimes if lucky, can find 2nd hand.

I bought mine at Toby Pets/Pet Safari. You can ask them to order if you want.
It can easily be ordered if not available

Kesian rite? The joeys there are mainly underage, that is why bulu also not lebat enough. Shaking coz all cold and also from starvation. Sigh.... I dunno when will they learn. They still take those underage joeys even when can say almost 1 joey dies in their care each week, and a majority of their buyers actually call me or ask me why their joeys from there die....
