: i just got my first glider two days ago. hes 4 months old named dexter. he has bit me quite a few times since then, but none of them really hurt. i was more scared than hurt. is there any "nice" way to help him to stop biting sooner? also i have a really hard time getting his leash on him. thats when he bites really hard and squirms alot. i finally got it on him yesterday and within 5 min he was out of t already. also the bfeeder i bought him from sai d that i dont have to cut his nails, she hasnt cut hers in over a year. is this true? id appreciate any info. im really excited to finally have a glider, i just want to have a great relationship with him.thanks in avance

As far as the nail thing, I can't imagine going a week let alone a year go by without trimming my glider's nail. You'll soon know when you have to trim your gliders nail when it starts to have problems moving about on your clothing. It is very dangerous to ignore such grooming practice. As far as what the breeder said about going a year without clipping nails, I think he/she may have said that in order to make you feel better about getting a glider, especially from him/her.

Have any further questions, feel free to email because I think alot of people are getting tired of answering the same questions.
