Most of what Tiffany said is the same advice given by Betsy and Bourbon concering bonding. Since Tiffany tried it and it is true so should you. Betsy and Bourbon have been giving advice on this board for a long time. (if you don 't believe me then surf the archives for your self.) I do believe that this is the best way to bond but let me also say that you should never rewaard bad behavior. That is to say , don't give TREATS unless they are earned, yet feed them as usual. You want the glider's trust not fear. Don't withhold your love or food as a form of disipline. Only use treats as a form of reward for GOOD behavior. Hope this helps! Glider love and nibbles, Diana
