: Hi It's me again! I still didn't get my glider yet. But I was just wondering.... in like the afternoon is it okay to take the glider out, pouch and all add put the pouch on my stomach while I lay down so it can get used to my scent and be near me at the same time? Do you think it would sleep or just try to escape? And if this is a good idea how often should it be done and how long each time? Thanx lots!!!

Well, I'm sure someone more experianced will also answer this question, but I just thought I'd put my two cents in too. Have you read Bourbon's page? I know it's mentioned a lot here but not sure if you've read. It's "Very" informative on bonding. I will say that with my two babies I had no problem at all taking them pouch and all out of the cage. It seems to me as thought they sleep so heavely during the day they wouldn't know the difference. I would "not" however recomend doing this if you plan on sleeping. There have been many accidents like this where people have fallen asleep with them, and rolled over on them, or squished them in other ways. This has killed many Gliders, or savearly injured them.
