Subject: PET STORES??
Posted by Roy on January 01, 1999 at 00:34:53:

i agree in most cases even though i havent met any breeders or seen SGs from breeders, but i know that there r SOME nice stores that handle and treat gliders well (at least i hope)
i bought a glider 3 days ago (from a store), he tears me up any time he gets on me. he is fine with me petting him/feeding him,carrying him in the pouch, but the sec he climbs on me he bites the hell outa me. i wish i bought mine from a breeder BUT its too late and all sales are final!! no turning back for me and in the store he was nice/ when we got home he was nice/ he just wont let me hold him/or "him hold me"
i tried several things i give him something to lick off my finger every time my hand goes in the cage (starting today) and when he got on me today i had smeared a lil baby food on my arm where he has been biting me/ he licked it off BUT he used his teeth to due it!!!! then before he even finished he started biting me again. then i would blow on him any time he started to/ this seems to stop him from biting for a sec but then he goes again, after a min he gets pissed and jumps off me =0(
i dont know why he is doing this i have been told it could be the soap i use/thats his way of being affectionate (i hope not)/or hes just defensive (if this is so why is it only when he gets on me??)
i WILL NOT give up the fact that this is the third day, and he already eats from my hand/lets me pet him/carry him around in his pouch this is good for only 3 days right???
if anyone has any suggestions please help
well thanks wish me luck =0)
