No need to bite my head off guys! I have worked with them b4. Gee was a hand raised baby and Kiin was born here at my home. I just have no idea how to bond properly with them. I owned one before, but I didn't know at the time just how strongly that they bond to humans. Chloe was about 6 months old, and I went on vacation for a week. (i didn't think the sand dunes was a good place for her) When i returned, i found that my beautiful Chloe was gone. She had stopped eating. You would think that a vet would try something, but evedently not. She was a sweetheart and HAD to be with you. I have no idea how to tame them well and would love to get some help, but all I get are snide remarks. If you are willing, then help, PLEASE. But snide remarks are unwanted.

: : Why dont you work on bonding with the gliders you have. you are giving amiserable descripriprion of them then talking baout getting another glider. If you arent prepered to work with these two then leave gliders alone. They take work before they are sweet and bonded - and that goes for every one of them. Please reconsider.
: : : Hi! I have 2 gliders that I would like to place in a home. I love them both, but they have bonded to each other and I would like to have on that will ride around with me. They are mother and daughter. Kiin is about 7 months old and Gee is about 2 years. If you know of somone who would like them, please e-mail me at K9CHRISTN@aol.com, and I will talk to you then. I live in Washington state in the Tacoma/Seattle area. Thank you!!

: I tend to agree with Jane. You need to start carrying them around in a pouch close to your body daily. Bond with them now. Spend time, a lot of time, with them each day!!!!!! Give it a better shot. They don't bond to you through osmosis. If you don't have the time for a glider, get a kitty cat. :)
