: I have had my glider for 2 months now...although he has become much more calm...he never wants to come out of his cage..I have to make him come out...I try to play with him as much as possible to get him to bond...I just wanted to know if this was normal for him to want to be in his cage so much..thanks!
No not really. It sounds as though he is still feeling intimidated and shy. Try spending more time with him when he is sleepy during the day, perhaps by wearing him in a pouch and touching him often. The more time that you spend with him the quicker that he will bond to you.
