Your baby is probably teething, like a human baby, and needs to softly nibble.
It is also a sign of affection- my 2 1/2 year old glider nibbles me sometimes when
she is warm and snuggly and happy with me. Nibbling might be a comforting/reassuring
sort of thing too, like a human baby sucking its thumb. YOur glider obviously likes you
and wants you to comfort him and give him more loving.

Your glider will probably outgrow it if it is a baby, but if it doesn't hurt and you like it, I
would let him do it. I love when my gliders do it to me because I know they are happy and
trying to show me some love.
