My glider we purchased at a pet store in the panhandle fl. This is the area we live in . He was a Christmas Gift for my 10YR old son.
WELL .  I GOT ON NET TO GET SOME INFO. MY GLIDER HAD A LARGE MARBLE SIZE BUMP ON ITS BACK. AND ALSO A OPEN HOLE IN IT. BUT WAS NOT BLEEDING SO I WASHED IT WITH ANTIBACTERIAL. SOAP.IN THE SINK BLESS THAT GLIDER,  HE WAS A GOOD AS GOLD STAYED RIGHT IN WATER. WELL, THIS THING IN THE GLIDERS BACK MOVED. IT WAS ALIVE....I CALLED A NATIVE RED NECK, GOOD THING HE KNOWS ALOT. HE TOLD ME ITS A WOLVE. A WORM GETS IN SQUIRRELS OUTSIDE . HE CAME OVER PULLED THIS THING OUT. IT WAS GROSS.  IT WAS SIZE OF A CASHEW , NOW I HAVE TO KEEP INFECTION OUT.  BUT THAT GLIDER WAS DARN GOOD . NEVER TRIED TO MOVE OR BITE.. PLEASE POST THIS STORY SO PEOPLE WILL HAVE INFO ABOUT THESE WORMS.  OUT SIDE SQUIRRELS  GET THESE IN FL, A FLY BITES THEM A MAGGOT GETS IN HOLE AN IT GROWS , EAT SKINS AN BLOOD ,   IT GETS TOO BIG TO GET OUT OF SAME HOLE...IT IS VERY GROSS, LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING OFF SCIFI. I COULD SEE IT MOVE WHEN I GAVE HER A BATH. SO WE PULLED IT OUT VERY SLOWLY,  THEN I  GAVE HER ANOTHER BATH, CLEANED IT WITH BETADINE WITH A Q-TIP, PUT IT RIGHT IN THE HOLE THAT THING CAME OUT OF . THE GLIDER ACTS LIKE SHE KNEW IT WAS FOR HER GOOD BECAUSE SHE STAYED VERY STILL , NO BITING OR YELLING OR CHATTING , THEN I APPLIED GRANULEX . IT  CLEANS AN PROMOTES NEW SKIN GROWTH ALSO GETS OLD DEAD SKIN OFF. THIS IS A SPRAY FOR PEOPLE... WELL OUR GLIDER LETS US GIVE HER A BATH ,  AN LETS US CLEAN IT WITH OUT GETTING MAD, SHE IS DOING FINE AT THIS TIME , BUT HAS ONLY BEEN TWO DAYS SO WE WILL SEE .  I WILL UP DATE YOU. IF THIS GLIDER LIVES , AN IT DOES SEEM FINE . I KNOW THAT IT WILL REMBER ME AS A GREAT FRIEND.....
