We just added a new baby girl to our glider family and she
is very much the glider. We haven't seen her taking any really long glides but she definately likes to do it. To see something that small fly is really cute. Judging from the continuous crabbing, she wasn't worked with prior to us purchasing her. It just comes naturally.

What age do gliders start gliding? Maddy has never attempted to glide. When she is with me she is in her pouch around my neck or curled up in my palm. Lately I have had her sit on my shoulder but she shows no interest in gliding. Is she too young? I will admit that I am glad that she doesn't glide (for selfish reasons) because I enjoy her hanging out with me. I can pet her, put my face right up to her face (and she gives me kisses), pick her up and hold her in my hand. I can also let her free on my body and she shows no interest in leaving me. I got sooo lucky with this little girl!! My other question is, what do the little chirping noises mean. She will be in her pouch and all of a sudden I will hear little chirps (not barks, real faint chirps).
