               Luckily our new lil glider survived, but just wanted to post his story so that
               others may learn. We...my son and I drove about 4 hours yesterday to
               pick up a lil 2 year old male glider. He had not been messed with much
               and was not to happy to be looked at either. We met the people and the
               mall and only got a teeny weeny glimpse of him, well...when we got out to
               our van, we decided we would peek at him more and put him into our
               pouch...he came out, looked at us, made a flying leap to my son and then
               promptly darted up under/into the dashboard. We tried to get him, but he
               climbes so far up that we could no longer even see him. Well...out here in
               Missouri the heat index was like 110 yesterday and the air in my van
               doesn't work well when we are sitting still, so we had to go ahead and
               start driving, the next town was about an hour away, so we drove there,
               listening for sounds. When we got there, we bought some screwdrivers
               and started taking the dash off, I still could not find him and had feared
               that there was some way that he had gotten out. I had a migraine earlier
               and it was only getting worse by this point, so I called home and asked
               my hubby if there was any way for him to have gotten out...he didn't think
               there was, I was, of course bawling at this point between the glider and
               my headache, so my hubby told me to get a room and stay put til I felt
               better. We went to the store and got babyfood and put it , water and a
               pouch out for him and went to the room about 3pm, we kept checking
               every hour, but no sign of the glider, then FINALLY at abuout 9pm, I went
               out and check and he was sittin on the water bowl drinking. YEAH!!!!
               ANyway, we caught him and all is well, but I just want to make people
               think about all those tiny spots they can get into, even in the
               car....oh...btw...dash is still kinda hangin off lol too hot to get out there and
               put it back on. lol
