Greetings and Merry Meet, Joe ! :)
I let my gliders, Gwenny and Ashes, out to play in the upstairs bathroom . They usually run around for about a 1/2 hour, then come over and climb on me for a bit . Ashes likes to sit on top of my head while Gwenny tries to push him off- sort of like a gliderized version of "King Of The Mountain" . Also, you can use toys, like cat dancers and those 25 cent faux mice they sell at pet shops .
Also, on bonding- get the glider to associate your scent, hands, touch, and voice with good things . I finger-feed Ashes for about 10 minutes every night before I put all the food into the cage, And even though he still crabs when he doesn't recognize me, he'll stop after a minute and come over and start licking my fingers or snuffling through my hand . He's only about 7 weeks OOP himself .
