Not really a suggestion, more like a question... are you asleep at 1am when your glider is in your bed? If so, please be careful. I know a person who allowed her glider to sleep with her and accidently rolled over on her in the middle of the night and smashed her. Unfortunatly, I don't have any answers to the biting question. I asked the same thing the other night (except Maddie never draws blood) and the response that I got was that maybe she doesn't like the smell of the soap on my hands. Or perhaps it is the smell of lotion on your hands. Biting your toes too, hmmmm I have no idea.
Good luck.
: hello all....well ive had casey for about 3wks now and hes great..only thing is that he has been getting nippy lately...and its usually when he wants to play at night when i let him out of his cage..and he doesnt want to go back in or he doesnt want me to handle him right at that moment..i tell him no like im talking to a baby..dont know if he really understands this..but even though hes playing he drew blood the other night and he seems to understand when i tell him know?is that possible for a glider i dont know how smart they are but from getting to know him, i think they could have great potential! so any tips on the biting situation?hes also been very aggressive at night lately when he wants me to play at 100 in the morning...he now pulls at my hair and crawls under the covers and bites my toes and fingers!!! hes a real trip.....any suggestions???thanks kirsten
