How old is your new addition? Mine was 2 months when I got him, and he wouldn't have bitten me even if I bit him first. If your new baby crabs or growls or hisses at you, don't pull back. If she learns that making noises will make you back down, she will continue to make noises at you. As my (very good) breeder told me, leave your hand in there and don't move it. Continue to move toward her slowly, and just pet her or take her with you or whatever you are going to do. As for me and my boyfriend, Foster has no preference! (It kinda hurts my feelings a little cuz he's mine!) We both held him constantly when we brought him home, and though I am the one who carries him with me all day, when we are out my boyfriend takes him sometimes and he's just as happy with either of us. Hopefully if that is the kind of relationship you are looking for your glider will be just like mine. He likes everyone. Best of Luck!
