Hey! I have a female glider, she's 14 months old, and I've had her for 12 of those months. I've read a lot of you talk about your gliders and how they never leave you, especially in new places...
Well mine is the most curious and nosey little thing you ever saw. She'll jump on anything and everyone that's near her. She doesn't play favorites. I guess my question is, how do I get her to stick with just me. I'm so stingy of her attention,... I want her all to myself. So how do I do it? Thanks for your help... AmyMichelle!

the only reason I am doing this, is because you need to undo first, then start doing something different, she has already had 12 months of behaving one way, in order to get her to behave another first we must unlearn what she has already learned,

Getting rid of undesired behavior is quite simple. When it does something you do not want it to do, simply put it back in its cage IMMDIATELY (important), shut the door and leave it alone for 5-10 minutes. It is important that you do this each and every time the glider does something you do not want it to do.
When the glider is doing something you want him to do, reward him. (Give him treats when he is on you only....never when he's on someone else.)
Gliders, contrary to what you might think are very smart animals, and it does not take them long to learn.
Give this a try and see how it works for you. Timing is of the essence, so putting the glider back in his cage as soon as the undesired behavior occurs is important...Leaving him in his cage alone for 5-10 minutes is also important.
Good luck, and be sure to report back.
