I have had both pets. The Gliders smell was terrible even if you cleaned and washed the
cage Evey other day, you had to constantly wash pouches and get ride of branches. And
going to the store every other day for fresh fruit. They are a lot of work! If you love these little
guys and are that dedicated go for it, but I found out that they were not for me. I hated the
fresh fruit salad every day. I found my calling with the chinchillas.

(
Gliders) And people will tell you that they don't need to have fresh fruit every day, that is not
true they do. And you CAN NOT GIVE THEM CANNED FRUIT OR VEGETABLES! Because of
the preservatives.
Chinchillas and Gliders Their Life expectancy is similar.

SOUNDS: Can make some different sound, but are usually very quiet.
Can make a soft peeping sound (most common sound), or alarming
sound when afraid, but this usually does not happen very often. Some
people can have them for years and never hear a peep. Make  great
apartment pets!!

Do NOT Chase or Scare your chinchilla, they will remember it. And can
lose trust in you.

Children need to be mature to be around a chinchilla.

NEVER PUT A CHINCHILLA IN THE MIDDLE OF A ROOM. Make sure to
have them against a wall or in a corner. Also try to place them above
floor level. They will be very afraid and scared other wise.

Drafts: Be sure to keep your chinchilla out of Draft areas in your home.

They can be friendly, or not, it all depends on if they were worked with
or not. All of mine are friendly unless otherwise stated.

They will nibble, on furniture and stuff. Some times a finger but usually
very very soft.

THESE ARE MY PERSONAL VIEWS, ON PRODUCTS THEY ARE NOT
NECESSARY RIGHT OR WRONG, BUT ARE WHAT I SUGGEST AND DO NOT
SUGGEST.
ONCE AGAIN THESE ARE JUST MY PERSONAL VIEWS AND MY OPINIONS.
