Your definition of tame is similar to mine. I have 40 breeding pairs and I do handle all babies as soon as they are oop. I am able to reach in and pick up 95% of my babies with little or no crabbing, but when I hand them to prospective buyers they tend to crab a little. My babies rarely bite and for the most part bond really well with their new owners.

I also try not to have the babies bond with me. The only exception is if I have a baby with an irritable tempermant, I will handle it a lot more to be sure it is sellable. I won't sell biting bratty gliders unless I warn the prospective buyer that there is a problem and they are willing and able to deal with it.
