Subject: How long does bonding take?

How long did it take your glider to bond to you? I have had mine for two months, and I don't know. He doesn't mind if I hold him, but he rarely will crawl onto me. Which is wierd, because he will glide to me from high places. I got him when he was eight months old from a previous owner. Could this be the problem, does he not trust me? What can I do to improve his trust? also- Is it bad to physically pick up your glider if he doesn't seem to mind? Sometimes I have to pick him up when I go to bed, which he doesn't like. Does this hurt the trust? Is there an easier way? I tried bribery, but he jumps off after he gets the treat. thanks
