People have always posted "daytime is bonding time,
nighttime is playtime." In the last day a couple of people
have posted that they let their gliders sleep on in their pockets
when they normally don't and the glider has reacted well and
become more friendly during play time.

Anyway, I believe this daytime bonding theory lasts all a gliders
life, and like any good relationship, the one with you and your glider
needs work and constant attention.

I have had my very tame glider Moe for over 3 years now. I do not
carry her around during the day with me. When I come home from
work though I plop her in my shirt, or take a nap with her in my collar.
When I am doing this regularly, she is very friendly and lovey. When
I have not been doing this on a regular basis, she is still very nice, but
not as lovey. Its kind of like if she doesn't get the love, I don't get the love.

Anyway, I'm not sure I had a point other than you have to continue the bonding
process with your glider throughout its life. You never come to a point where
it is bonded and is going to stay that way no matter how you treat it...you can backslide
even after 3 years.

Anyway, I just thought you guys might like to hear about the continual bonding from
some one who's had her gliders for longer than most!

Good luck with yours!
