Yes, thanks to the fact that we have had the gliders three years we know how to handle her too but it is scary what some people regard as 'hand-tamed". She is going to learnn biting doesnt stop us handling her and taht we love strokingher and speaking to her. But my hands hurt already from her lunges and bites.

: Been there, done that. One of my first babies was "hand-raised". The poor thing was scared to death and since I was new to gliders it took a long while for us to become friends. No one had even bothered to explain about the crabbing they do or how to deal with it. And of course, that was before there was any information on the net.

: I'm just lucky that Dave doesn't mind getting bitten. He had to do the really hard work.
