Now, this is an area I can defentely help in. I got my glider when she was 10-11 weeks oop. They hadnt handeled her at all. She was said to be 'antisocial'. You could go back a while and read my experience bringing her home.
What I did for the first week, was Bourbons idea I think.
I wore a t-shirt for a day, then let the glider sleep in it, and just kept letting her get use to my scent. During the day I carried her in my pocket, and she crabbed, and peed. But I never picked her up or played with her (in my hands) till like the 6th day I think. Then she was already use to everything about me. For a glider that was older and meaner, she's never bit me (YET!) and she hasnt bit anyone else either. But it was hard for me not to get angry cause I wanted to pick her up and playw ith her so bad! She was so cute! Now, this is only like the third week. She will play on my friends, but she always jumps back on me. She only pees on them when she has to, never on me. :)
I think we already have a pretty close bond! Well hope ya have fun!
