So 2 days ago i bought my 2 babies from sugarglider petshop. As i picked up Junior(lionhead male 8 weeks oop) and shishi(standered gray female 9 weeks oop) they showed to be well taken care of and already hand tamed witch is a great help for me as far as bonding. The 1st day with them they spent most of the time in thair cage so that they could take in all the sounds and smells, I only took them out for dinner and shishi just came right out and was ready to play but junior took a little more work as he was crabbing just a lil until he saw i wasnt going to harm him. So the second day around the time i woke up i took them both out of thier cage and put them in a pouch i made in my shirt and they spent a lot of the day just sleeping and coming out for a look every once in a wile. so here we are on day 3 and they seem to be getting even better as far as bonding since once again they were with me most of the day even as i went to shopping for a new running wheel for them. shishi, she comes to me when i put my hand out in front of her cage and goes in when i put her near it and is always trying to see whats going on. Junior on the other hand still crabbs a little when i touch him at 1st. He seems to be very laid back and lazy as he sleeps most of the day and doesnt like to venture off too much.
Overall i feel iv been very lucky to get such a great little pair of gliders.
i wish i could find a female like yours,i do love the one i have ,ive had her a week and she crabs me out and trys to bite,she has bitten me i was trying to move her to a bigger cage,she trys to bite me through the bonding bag,i do spoil her and she gets treats but thinks my had is dinner.she is 3 months old.im hopefull i keep trying more and more,it will happen or my 7 year old aka dr doliitle will have #7
nitro, many gliders are pouch protective.........................its a safe place that smells like them. I am a firm beleiver in tent time. Buy a tent a book and some treats and she will come to you!!!
I just bought a huge 10ft x 12ft screen room for $50 bucks at B.J's wholesale retailer. It's amazing, I velcroed tarp to the bottom as it has no floor so they cannot escape. They can not reach the velcro as it is on the outside, but it completely goes around and holds the tarp in place. I supervise them at all times, but it's huge and was a great buy! Now all seven of mine are extremely happy, check out B.J's website, they have lots of super savings!
