Subject: Are You My Mommy?
Posted by susie on May 27, 1998 at 23:04:54:

Hi, I have been introducing my male glider Bandit to my two new male gliders. They are all around 6-8 months old, and the new ones seem to be very loving and accepting, but Bandit keeps trying to ride on their backs. The only thing I can think of is that he accosiates other gliders with his mommy, and he remembers the comfort of his riding on his mothers back. Now it doesnt matter how patient my other gliders are, after a while of this they get mad and nip and crab at him, but don't do any real damage, except a bruised ego. Has anyone experienced this before? Does anyone know how I might deal with his behaviour?
