Hello Kristen,

He may be hungry or thirsty. Try placing some food in the
cage before you get him out. I also offer mine the water
bottle the first thing.

They never want to go back in the cage. I cup mine in my
hand gently (all the time they are trying to wiggle out) and
place then back in their cage.

I stongly suggest you not sleep with him. Let him out to play
an hour or two before you go to bed then put him in his cage
for the night.

When mine were young I would let them under the covers with
me while I laid in bed to read and they did the same thing.

: 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
