: I agree that in most cases, two SG are better than one. HOWEVER, and this is a big however, if you do decide to get the second SG because of the time factor, you will end up with 2 SG's that are bonded to each other instead of you.

: The greatest joy of these little creatures is their ability to bond so completely and lovingly with a human. For those of us addicted, the worst possible thing is to have a SG that you cannot handle, carry around, snuggle, etc.

: This is a situation you will really need to give alot of thought to.

: Let us know what you decide. Oh, yes, I would think that if your SG is happy at this point with just you, you probably don't have anything to worry about. You know, part of their attention time is just sleeping in your pocket next to your heartbeat.

I haven't had any problem with multiple gliders not bonding with my boyfriend and me because of eachother. In fact, once I got Fuerte, Gizmo has become MUCH more social, and extremely bonded to me, despite the fact that he has fallen madly in love with little Fuerte. As well, Rosco and Tassel have lived together their whole lives and are very attatched to us as well. I'm not saying that it can't happen, just that I think it's uncommon.
Just a thought!
