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 )

The idea of even considering putting even the body under running water as punishment for biting is absurd.. I know you don't suggest it..The physical aspects isn't what concerns me at all, it is the emotional aspects. You can have a sweet bonded glider and punish it with the running water and break that bond and have to start all over. You as an owner is supposed to be a safe zone for them. How safe would they feel if the running water was used for punishment? There is nothing that love, patience, perserveance, and more love can stop..
