Hello All,

My boyfriend and I are the proud new parents of our first pair of gliders Pixy and Pooka. We got them two weeks out of the pouch and have had them for another two. We have some odd questions we were hopeing some one might know the answers to.

1. We read that they like to have more than one puoch to choose from in there cage, but two nights in a row they slept in seprate ones. Why? should I let them? They are from diffrent famlies so I took out the other pouch in case they haven't bonded with each other yet.

2.They also go (as in poop and pee) in there pouch and all over them selves Alot. They come out wet where the other has gone on it, and we have to gently help them with the ones that have dried to there fur. this is unplesant for us to do and makes for a smelly baby. What can we do to help them stop this?

3. As far as bonding gose we have been Holding them, taking them out during the day, (in a pouch), petting them and giveing them treats. We have read burbon's page on bonding, and many others. The Male is still "crabs" at every little thing , but the female is coming along nicely. Any "Stop Your Crabbing" Tips?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks alot.
