NEVER
leave your gliders unattended. EVER! |
 |
Put
all other PETS away, most animals will see gliders as prey--safety
first! |
 |
WASH
your hands before and after handling your gliders. |
 |
REMOVE
all chemicals
and medications, especially pesticides.
|
 |
REMOVE
all plants,
except for glider safe plants. |
 |
COVER
vents with
household screening so gliders cannot slip through.
|
 |
Turn off power
source to ceiling fans, they are very dangerous to roaming gliders. |
 |
ALWAYS keep toilet
lids closed, as gliders cannot swim. Put away other dangerous
objects, such as razors. (Drowning is one of the highest causes of
death in gliders) |
 |
If
you have FISH TANKS,, make sure that your glider cannot have
access to the water, tape over the openings and tape down the filter
cover. |
 |
CHILDPROOF
all
electrical outlets
with safety plugs. (found at Home Depot) |
 |
REMOVE,
tape down all electrical
cords from glider's access.
|
 |
Keep
gliders away from all recliners and
fold-away beds. While a great place for a glider to hide (they
think), these have working metal parts that can trap and kill a
sleeping sugar glider. |
 |
CLOSE
dressers and
closet doors. Place towels or other objects in any crevices.
(anyone who has ever had to rip a closet apart to find a glider can
attest to this!) |
 |
Keep
your gliders away from the kitchen. The refrigerator is an
especially dangerous place-the coils can kill. |
 |
NEVER
let your
gliders in a laundry room. Dryer vents and washer coils are deadly! |
 |
CLEAN
AND VACUUM
frequently,
so the gliders will not ingest or wrap themselves in anything harmful.
|
 |
REMOVE
or cover
all trash
cans.
|
 |
DO
NOT bring any
food or drink (other than water) into your glider-proofed room unless it is intended
for your gliders |
 |
TURN
OFF space
heaters, if you use them. |
 |
TEST
any
openings. If your finger can squeeze through it, so can your
gliders.
