Subject: Bonding w/ Two Gliders
Posted by Karen on May 28, 1998 at 19:34:05:

I recently adopted two baby gliders(same sex). I was
wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to ensure
that they both bond well with me, as well as each other.
I decided to adopt two, instead of just one, because
everything I read said it was better for THEM to have a
fellow glider companion. I also thought it would be better
and less stressfull, for them and me, if they grew up
together rather than trying to introduce a new baby later.
However, after reading some of the posts here I am worried
neither will not bond well with ME because they have each
other to play with. So far, I have been taking them out
during the day to sleep in my pocket and doing the yogurt
and petting process when they stir. That part seems to be
going well, the crabbing is SLOWLY calming down. I am more
concerned that later they will decide they don't really
like/need me and will only want to be/play with each other.
Any suggestions at all will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you, Karen.
