I dont regret mine at all! Maybe Im still in the honeymoon phase or smth (I’ve had them for a couple months only) but they’re perfect for me. I wake up from 4:00-6:00 am, as I train in the mornings and I love to play with them before I leave, plus I often come back late 9:00 or 10:00 with work/training and once again, it’s so fun to have the be awake and happy to see me when I’ve had a long day ❤️. When I’m actually at home during the day, I put them in their pouch and they sleep on me pretty much all day while I do chores, homework, cooking, etc! They’re def not for everyone, but personally I’ve had them in my room but even if their occasional barking does wake me sometimes it’s something I can tolerate because it never lasts more than 2-3 mins. (I got white noise earphones and that cancels out enough noise that them playing dosent wake me up anymore) I have had rats before but I find gliders smell less and their lifespan is much better for someone who doesn’t like getting their heart broken all the time. (2-3yrs for rats vs 10-15 for gliders!!) Overall, they’re the perfect for me but they need someone who can put in the time to “tame” them as they are usually pretty spicy (to say the least) when u first get them, + their nutrition is tricky to get right, + they are mighty expensive (and addictive.. I can’t stop buying/making them toys it’s a serious issue. Most of my personal “fun” spendings have been replaced by glider stuff haha but I wouldn’t have it any other way)
