vhenke11, here is a list of
vets in FL. I'm a small rescue home. When I get gliders in, almost all of them are sick and not sociable at all. They've come from home where the previous owner knew nothing about their care, just like the glider you got. I've been told how mean, evil and bad, some of these gliders are. Poor things just never got the proper attention.
Myself, I love the whole
bonding process. Learning their normal behavior, earning their trust. It's just amazing to me to see the baby steps of progress.
Just as gliders can learn to
bond (intro) with us, I believe most can learn to
bond with other gliders. It takes time but it's so rewarding to open one pouch and see two suggies snuggling together, who had been alone before.
Gliders are extremely territorial, as are most (if not all) animals. They go by scent, before sight or hearing. The first step to introducing gliders, isn't putting them into a cage and crossing fingers. Because they're so territorial, they will fight, to the death, to protect their property. But if they get used to another gliders' scent, slowly and over time, they start to accept it as an acceptable, normal part of their lives. Switching blankies and
pouches, gets each others scents on the gliders, so they eventually think the other glider is part of their colony. Even IF that colony is two gliders.
If you'd be interested, we can help you with intros, when you get another glider. There are a lot of little tricks that can be done.
Thank you for listening to us and understanding we just want to help. I promise, no picking is allowed on GC!
