One of my gliders attacked me the other night - had to have two stiches in my face to close the wound - now I'm afraid to go near them. I've had no problems bonding with my two males over the past year - we play every nite for 30-60 minutes and had a great time. The other nite, they were watching me fix their meal, as usual, on the counter when I bent over slightly to scratch my leg. He ran across the countertop, jumped directly at my face and ripped the flesh between the tip of my nose and my lip. Blood everywhere - two stiches to put the skin back in place and now I don't quite know what to do with them. I tried to handle them last night, but I'm just plain afraid and ended up in tears when he bit my finger really hard. I don't know what to do - let them go wild in the cage and just keep them fed or get rid of them or what? We always have a morning playtime before I leave for work, but this morning I just couldn't go near the cage. Not sure what to do - I'm in a lot of pain and am really quite surprised at how deeply this has made me fear the gliders. Now what?
