: I have been a glider owner for over 10 years now. I have just moved to this country and was "surfing" as my niece calls it and happened upon your sight. After reading all of the notes from people I can tell you from personal experience that not all gliders will like to cuddle and play no matter what you do. My gliders back home had their own room with live trees and ropes and more toys than you can imagine. I spent at least 3-4 hours each night with them in their room and out. And carried each one in a pouch for at least an hour a day. All of them loved me except one who would rather be left alone. he didn't crab at me he just wanted to do his own thing. he was my first and I tried everything to bond wioth him but he wanted nothing to do with it, I was reluctent to get anothe rone but I finally did and we are the best of friends, and so are the 3 more I got later. I spent all the time I could with my first (hours upon hours) talking ti him feeding him and playing with him. but just like children some are loving and some are not.

Wow! Your glider room sounds like a sugar glider's dream. My Aspen is poiled and she will hopefully have something similiar to that when I'm out of college with a full time job. I graduate in May. To comment on the loving vs. independant glider topic, I was just very lucky. I wanted a glider to be all lovey, and I got one. Aspen would much rather play with mom (me) than go off anywhere on her own. I'll get her up a little bit early and let her sleep in my lap while I pet her until she's ready to get up and play. I just love her to death. She's a momma's girl. (o= --AmyMichelle, and Aspen!
