: Heyall! I've decided to add another "baby" to my home ;) . Does anyone have a fairly tame/really tame male for sale in or near Maryland, or know of one? I'd settle for a baby, anyway, because I'd like the male to get a better start off with me than Gwenny did . Also- Since Gwenny is 8 months old now, she's developed some rather ODD behavior !!! For one thing, nearly every time she crawls on me, she pees! And last night she was crawling on my hand, chewing on me and clawing me as she went . It wasn't really painful, but it caused a VERY painful allergic reaction ( basically my skin swelled up in the places where she bit me, and turned a bright red) I hope she'll adjust well to the new cage I'm buying her. Thanks all!!

Hey! Little Bit my male glider used to do that to me. He would get on my hand and walk up my arm, but bite and nibble all the way up.
He knows he's no supposed to to that. He did that ever since I've had him. I started to get sick of it and started to say no, but in a
forceful way. He's look at me shoock that I'd raise my voice and then think I didn't mean it. Once he started to bite again I'd say no again.
Then he'd want to play and I wouldn't play, so he started to bite again. This went on for awhile. I'd play with him when he was good and didn't bite,
but when he did bite. I'd put him back in the cage and not give him a treat. He finially stopped biting as much. He knows his name and NO.
I say those a lot to him. Try say no, and but her in her cage. When she doesn't bite prasie her and give her a treat. I know it sounds like a dog, but
it might work. Also she might just need something to chew on. Give her a dog biscuit or somthing.
