SCREEECH sounds good to me..

:
: : hello, my husband and I rescued a 3 month old little boy,sugarglider from some people who didnt seem to care about him. I do not believe he was handled too much and he seems to be "schreeching and yelling " at us. Today I put him in my pocket and he bit me and screeched at me. I have fallen in love with this little animal and he is now in a happy family but we need tips and help on how we can slowly get him to trust us. HELP PLEASE . I know he has endured quite a lot including a gaping wound on his neck . We found a good vet who has helped explain what to do about it and is treating it . But now we need advise on how to help him fall in love with us. and should I force him to be in my pocket if he is protesting??? Also he only ate parrot food when we resuced him nothing else . I am having problems interducing him to a "REAL" diet . any advice on how I can get him to taste new foods???? Thanks for whatever help you can give me .... Nancy........
: new update... we just found out this little guy is not a baby , he is an adult he already has his bald spot could this be why we are having a problem? (right now his is alseep in my pocket, he seems comfortable, but he is sooo small) Last night I stayed up with him reading a book on sugar gliders. We are trying to learn as much as possible , beings we really had no time to learn. Any advise would be great.

: also our little guy still has so name , any thoughts would be appreicated. Do they come to their name if they know it?
: thanks .......... nancy
