: There are some people that will hold their glider under water to keep them from biting. Whatever you do don't do it it can cause pneumonia
: and they will die. I suggest you offer him lowfat yougurt or some type of food on the end of your finger so instesd of biting you he bites the food
: and then associates your hands and fingers to something good and not bad. I'll tell you what Bourbon says roll down and read through the archives
: and you will find about anything you want to know.: 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
I am pretty sure that they are talking about under Running
water, not submerging them. This would not be any more
damage to the glider physically than a bath, however I
would still not advocate it since my Dexter really hates
baths. (Had to give him two. 1)Fell in his glideraide
2) Bad Diahrrea )
