If you think about it, 5 weeks really isn't that long if you consider Homer could possibly live for 15 years. You say he doesn't crab as much and you can take him everywhere... what exactly do you want him to do? What does bonded mean to you? I think this would make for a great discussion. I have had my gliders since March and April. They don't crab (at any time of the day), they come when I call them, and they groom/glider kiss me as a greeting. Yet they really don't stay in a bonding pouch or pocket. I get them out every night, and talk to them sometimes during the day, and let them hold me when they sit and have a treat.
There really isn't an answer to your question. As every glider (and owner) is different. And many probably gave up on their gliders before what their idea of a bond was was met.
