: My glider, who is a male, also sleeps very deeply sometimes, also sometimes i can just touch the cage and he'll poke his head up and look at me. At first it scared me too, but it's normal for him not to wake up when I pick him up and handle him, sometimes. Don't worry about the bonding. A couple of weeks ago I got the chance to work with an untamed, 5 mo. old female, and I held her in my glider pouch or shirt pocket every day. By the end of two weeks she was already letting me hold her without her crabbing. Just keep holding your glider for long periods every day and taming her will be no problem. Matt

Hi,

: OK I'll state the important one first:
: When Brizzo sleeps she is a VERY VERY deep sleeper, like I thought she was dead cause i picked her up and looked at the small opening in her stomach, for heavens sakes I coulda even clipped her nails without problems. Is this normal??? It freaked me out so bad. Then she woke up when i started talking to her and she crabbed a bit.

: Second thing:
: She twitches in her sleep. Like a leg will twich, then an arm and even her tail. She doesnt do it when shes awake. Her fur is clean, I thought maybe she had like fleas or something but her coat is perfectly clean. Please tell me if this is normal!!!

: Last thing:
: Shes 11 weeks old and I was told shed be younger. People told me that she's going to be very hard to bond to.
: I spent 9 hours with her today. She let me pick her up, and pet her. She has yet to bite me. People said that she'll get worse when I feel like shes getting sooo much better and its only been one day. She only lunges for my hand when she sees it coming from far away. But if its up close she doesnt seem to mind at all. Is this going to get worse because shes older?

: Sorry about all the questions just that I want to make sure everything is A OK!

: Thanks a bunch in advance.
