Hi,
I'm no expert, but I found that gentily blowing on them after they have started to knaw on my finger has helped me with mine. They don't realy like it but it dosen't upset them either.
Good Luck,

: I've had a female suger glider for about four months and a male for about three. When I got the female she had never been handled by anybody except for the cleaning of her cage. I have to admit she was hard to tame, but nothing compared to the way the male has been. I bought him from a pet store that well (as sad as it is) didn't take very good care of him at all, I mostly bought him for that reason alone. He can be really sweet, but I can't seem to get him to trust me and worst of all, more recently he's began biting a lot. I've tried everything I can think of. I've tried the food method that seems to work so well for everyone else and that makes him bite harder. Lately I've just been sticking my hand in their cage and just letting him go at it, that seems to help a little, but I hate doing this, it hurts, and isn't really worth it (not to mention a waste of band-aids), but I don't know what else to do with the little guy. Does anybody have any suggestions?! I'm really very frustrated about the whole thing. Please help!

: thanx,
