(2.4) Wild-caught versus Captive-Breed

It is always preferable to have a captive-breed glider over one that was
wild-caught.  If a glider has always had food come from a human hand, it 
will consequently be much tamer.   Most wild-caught gliders will not 
tolerate handling and have brownish fur, as a result of staining.  Also, 
wild-caught gliders are much more subseptible to vitamin defeciencies 
while in captivity [7.2].
