Thank-you Bourbon I have a rescue glider that I bought
from a lady who had it in a box and would pick him up
by his tail (vet said he was lucky his tail is still
connected thank-god) I am so afraid that I will screw
up his little life. My very first glider was supposed to
be a female joey I get her in another few weeks and she
absolutely loves me she sleeps in my shirt that I gave
the breeder and jumps on me the minute I get there. But
Casper he is scared and crabs and bites and I am just at
a loss and then the other day I took his pouch into
the bathroom turned the light to low and he came out
and climb on me and curled up in my hair and went to
sleep. He didn't crab at me once I felt so happy I
thought I would burst. He still doesn't like my hands
and he doesn't want his tail touched but I can't blame
him. I read your bonding page everyday. But I tell
you it is extremely hard not to jump when he crabs
or bites. But I thank- you for all of your wisdom and
research and I will do my best for my babies and
I will continue my research and ask questions. I am
never easy to offend and I don't take things said
negatively I feel that I asked the question and if
I get upset over the answer then I have no business
asking the question and if I have no business asking
the question then I have no business owning a glider
or any other animal for that matter. If you have any
sites that I might need to look at please let me
know or any suggestions I would love to hear it.

Thank-you so much for caring
April
