I think you and your glider are off to a wonderful start. Keep in mind that the bonding period can take months but you must keep at it. Don't be discouraged, older gliders are more brave and less likely to stay in your pocket if they are not bonded yet. She will come around with time. I took my first glider in when she was nine months oop (out of pouch) and she is only now just starting to come around. (I have had her for three months) Just make sure that you do not take her out of the house or out of a "glider safe" area until she is fully bonded. Shamelessly bribing them with treats does wonders in the beginning. One last note, nomatter how old she is she will want to exit your pocket and play at night, so keep that in mind. Glider love to you and yours!
