: : Hi I have lots of questions. First I got my female glider a week ago and she still wont come to me when I call her

: How many other pets know their name after a week?

: --------------
: :and she will only come near me when I have food and I hold it out in my hand. When I do this I try to touch her but she runs away, whats wrong?

: Maybe she doesnt know you well enough, only been a week

: -----------
: :next, She sleeps in a nesting box and whenever I try to open it during the day so I can bnd with her she charrs at me alot, does she just not like me?

: Maybe since they are nocturnal, she likes to SLEEP during the day and doesn't appreciate being woken up

: -----------------

: :When do you think I will be able to play with her?

: When you quit annoying her and let her get adjusted

: ---------------------

: lastly, when she gets up at night and I feed her, she goes back to bed about an hour later and wakes up a couple of hours later in the night

: WELL, maybe she is still TIRED considering you have been waking her up in the day. Have you ever gotten a midnight snack or a glass of water?

: -------
: , is this normal behavior? please help me I want so badly for her to sit on my hand or pocket and be my friend!!??

: Sounds pretty normal to me.

: I understand the answers not the tone?
I was just wondering if you could have put that a little nicer. I know I am new here but what I have heard about the rudeness on here,it is unbelievable.
