They went from uturo to the pouch in mid October and were weaned by the end of November. how old does that make them then? Also, you say they shouldn't be biting, but it sounds like that is common when you first get them. How can you say they shouldn't be biting? I'm not meaning to sound defensive, I just think that now maybe I got a bad batch! egad.

: They went "in" the pouch? If they came out of the pouch in mid October, then they are probably 4.5 - 6 months old. Gliders usually come out of the pouch at around 60 days and are weaned between 45 - 60 days oop. They shouldn't be biting you. There are several people who have suggestions on how to train your gliders not to bite. The sooner you teach them not to, the better off you'll be.

: : The breeder says they went in the pouch around mid October. The pet store got them the end of November - how old are my babies? Also, will this biting get harder as they get older, I can hardly handle it now!
