: I want to ask all people out here..a couple of questions.
: 1. Did you choose your glider or did it choose you, or did you buy it sight unseen?
Mate - was the only baby glider the lady had. I had thought that I'd want a female,
but since she had a male I took him.
: 2. Did you get a tight bond with your glider?
Very, Mate greets me every morning.. If I do not get him out the night before he
will not greet me in the mornings..he'll just sort of shake his pouch but not look out.
He looks for me when someone else has him or when he is frightened.
: 3. How long was the bonding process?
Probably about two weeks.
: 4. What did you go through crabbing, biting, etc..at the beginning?
Mate crabbed alot..but nipped a little.. I have never had a problem with him biting hard..
He'll nip when he doesn't like something to let you know.
: 5. was any of the subsequent gliders as tight a bond as the first?
Mate is my only glider...they are such wonderful little creatures!
