Is your SG biting hard? Eos nibbles (not hard) when she is hungry or wants some of what I'm having, and she licks me when she is thirsty. It is much different than the few times she has bitten from anger (bath time, etc.) because then she will bite HARD! I don't know how to stop the little nibbles...I think they are like glider love nips. Some things that have worked in reducing hard biting for us: blowing on her face, putting her in her cage and leaving her alone in the room for a while, giving her something else to bite on (toy or dog buiscuit) or distracting her with food (I only used this when she was small and would go on the defensive and attack).
Hope this helps,

: I've had my glider (Sydney) for about a month now. He was 10 weeks oop when I got him. We've bonded well and he plays and cuddles and hardly ever crabs or barks anymore. I spend at least 2 hours a day with him. I just love the little guy so much. The only problem is he chews on me a lot. It's never mean or aggressive. He'll start licking and then nibbling and then the chewing starts. I try not to pull away but sometimes it hurts. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
