So my gliders were having a groom fest in my lap a minute ago which soon after turned into Luxe biting my ankles. Ow! Lol I let him do it though, bc I didn't know..is there a certain noise or something I could make that gliders make to each other to let each other know they are hurting them etc? Sometimes he nips my fingers too. Not biting, just tasting them. Doesnt really hurt but he's trying to figure out what they are. Lol. Thanks!

Ouch, lol. Hopefully the "tsst" sound will work for you. I know I sure wouldn't want my ankle nibbled on... :O)

Also, keep in mind that it may be a type of soap, lotion, or perfume that you're using that they're attracted to that smells yummy. So, you may want to consider trying something different and see if they still do it or not.

Redirect, and be patient. They will grow out of this (for the most part). Good advice about the lotions. Be aware of what you smell like. LOL Also, wear lots of clothing in tent time. Protect as much as you can.

My pair drastically stopped nibbling at about 3 months or 4 months oop. They grew out of it but still nibble every now and then

Haha. That's so funny! When I talk to Luxe, he sometimes tilts his head like a dog would. It's hilarious! But I too worry that I may "say" something in glider that is not nice and they will be offended. Lol
I will def try the tsst and be aware of the lotions, etc. when I have tent time tonight.
And wear longer pants! Haha
