: I just got my first sugar glider, Darby, for my 18th birthday. She hates me. . she makes an awful hissing/grunting noise when I get near her. She stays in her tube or pouch until she is ready to come out, I have to sit and wait on her to come out if I want to try to play with her. What is wrong?

I know how you feel... When I first got my glider she refused to even let me so much as look at her! But Every day I got her out for an hour a night and feed her fresh fruit from my hand before long she was waiting on me at the cage door! Now I keep the same ruteen but now she's so used to me I don't need food to lure her out. Keep trying I'm sure she'll eventually grow to like you. (Oh by the way Darby is the cutest name Just thought I'd let you know)
