I just got my sugar glider three days ago at a pet store. I realize the trouble with the store bought ones, because they have not been handled, but I had confidence that I would be able to tame her down. She is the offspring of those in the pet store, and though she's not a little, just weened baby, she's nearly that young. But I have had one big problem with her, from day one she's had an awful problem with biting. She bites when she's mad, or when she's scared, she bites when you pet her, and she'll even just walk up to and bite you for no reason. Now I know this isn't just because she's frightened, because she'll just do it at any time, even when she's perfectly content. She's been making much progression in every other field it seems, but I just don't know what I can do about the biting. I've read some places that you should just blow on them, or say no. This only terrifies her, and makes her bite worse, and harder. The same thing happens with a suggested leather glove. I also read somewhere that you should just not act afraid of it, well that just incourages her, and now I've blead many times. I don't know what I can do about this, and I know it will probably take a little time, but my greatest concern is that she'll never stop biting! Can any one tell me what I can do???
