: I've had my first 2 gliders for 2 weeks now. They were 4 weeks
: out of the pouch when I got them and both are females. One
: of the females rarely crabs and nips at me and is slowly
: starting to feel more comfortabe with me handleing her. The
: other one is a different story...she will lunge and bite at
: me and boy can she crab!! She will eat her favorite foods
: from my fingers and I carry her (and also the other one) in
: a pouch during the day when I'm not working. What am I doing
: wrong or is it still too soon to expect them to be comfortable
: with me? I really want to be able to hold them and watch them play
: in the evenings. Right now they tend to hide and be shy when I
: try to watch them at night. I need any advice or help you
: guys can offer.Thanks...

Bonding does not happen overnight..or over a week or two with most. It takes time and patience...some gliders bond quicker than others...but some take time...my advice is spend as much time as possible with them...time is the only true key to bonding.
