one thing I wanted to ask Xay -
Do you say her name before you reach in for her? My gliders only crab if I startle them. Saying their names lets them know "it's just me".
Something odd - I am trying to bond with my newest baby. She came oop on April 6th. She has a cranky disposition, always has since oop. I may have picked the wrong baby to try to bond with . . . But anyway, her name is Dottie. She likes me and trusts me. My 8 yr old tried to pet her while she was in my pocket and Dottie did the hand up, little old lady crabbing thing. So, not I think maybe Dottie only trusts me. I separated her from her parents last night. She didn't like being apart from them. She either only ate a tiny bit or didn't eat and trampled thru her food dish.
This morning she had no desire to go into my shirt - she fell asleep ontop of my head!
They all have different personalities, don't they?
best of luck
