 Bonding & vacation

Well as some of you know I did go on vacation a week after adopting my four sugar gliders. Not the best plan. I got home this past week end and found that some of my gliders have bonded to my daughter. Thats OK. Now we are back home in my house and they are not very comfortable with me. So I'm back to square one with them. The last two nights I've tried the bathroom play time and no one wanted to come out to play. So now I'm back to holding their pouch and loven on them that way till they are ready to try again. I don't mind because I get up close with them this way. Gizmo is so cute she is my crabby one but she also will get up close(nose to nose) to check me out. Kneo is doing good too. He likes his treats and will come to me for them. Pickles is open to getting her treats from me too. Now Trinity is a different fish. She wants nothing to do with anyone. She is so shy. I'm working on just letting her get used to my hand. She will not take any treats from me yet. She will hide her face so she thinks I can't see her. and she shakes alot when you are near her. No biting or crabbing so that makes me hopeful that I can get through to her. She is so darn cute I just want to kiss on her but I know better. I'm enjoying the time spent just holding the pouch. We have a three person tent that I'm considering putting up to try a tent time.

Try coaxing them out with honey on the tip of a straw. Slowly pull the straw farther away. Get them out of the pouch and then take the pouch away. If that doesn't work, roll the top of the pouch down, kind of like you do when rolling pant legs UP, and then they kinda have no choice but to come out. Or... 'dump' em out. I have to do that sometimes. And keep on it. :)
