One more thing:
If you travel a lot, make sure you have one person (always the same person) take care of your glider while you are gone. Have your glider start "bonding" with this person right from the start, and make sure they spend plenty of time together so that when you do leave, your glider will be comfortable with this person while you are gone.
The reason I say this is because they are very emotional little creatures, and they generally bond with and attach themselves to one or two people in the family. When that person leaves, the gliders can get very stressed out and depressed, and even quit eating or being active. My sister's glider was this way, and I've read that it's a common thing for them to do. I was his "caretaker" while she was gone, so I had to do a lot of reading up on them.
