Breanna, this is completly normal. It's rare for me to read that someone's glider was instantly friendly and bonded with in a couple of days. It took Griz and I about 3 weeks to make it to the point where he'd let me hold him and not crab so much. I'll give you the same really good advice that was given to me first... Patience and a lot of it! Second... Go to the archives on this board and read the questions as if it were you asking them. I promise that at some point you will be asking them and there are the answers right there for you. No waiting for some one to answer your post and answer the same question for the hundreth time. If you read the back posts you'll see the name Bourbon a lot, it was she who gave myself and others this same advice. And it works. I learned more this way then posting a Q and waiting for the answer. And with gliders the more info you have the better the mental health for you and physical health of your glider. Good luck! Glider love and nibbles, Diana
