Hello kellie. You say you've had him for only 2 days? Please give him a chance to get used to you and bond to you before you try to do things like put him in a harness. Give him time to know and trust you. The bonding procces can take time but it's not upto you to determine when he's bonded it's up to him. Sorry but on all topics glider related it's the glider who has to teach the human. For some more advice quickly go to the archives on this page. Read the Q's that other have had and the responces of the more glider aware. You'll be surprised at how many times a question has been asked and the answers were almost always the same. Also, try giveing a treat like yogurt on your finger to him. It helps them to see you as a treat giver not a threat and they will (sometimes) stop biting and start licking. Remember it takes time to build their trust if you don't give them that time they will never bond strongly to you. Have you tried to wear a piece of polar fleece in you shirt all day then putting it in his sleeping area? They need to get your scent and see it and you as a good thing (soft and comfy). Good luck and feel free to e-mail me about Q's. Glider love and nibbles, Diana
