So Much for Going GREAT :-( - 01/16/16 01:51 PM
6:30am...sitting here with the gliders bedding down inside my shirt.
We seemed to be doing so well...but the biting has started again in earnest.
It's like one minute they love me, love to explore all over me. They next minute I'm lunch. Dr Jekyl and Mr. Glide...
It's only the female that is the problem. The male has only bitten me a few times...overexcited at meal worm time...and never badly. But the female is mining for bone. :-( She got me good enough I should have taken a pic of it.
I left THE sweatshirt in the cage most of the night...I think that helped.
But now they are falling asleep in my shirt....no pouch. I hope they don't wake up and try and remove my nipples. Can you feel the conflict here?
Been reading from this site lots of great stories about glider bonding...including body language. Wow...I didn't realize I was so scary. :-(
The dogs are getting less obsessed with the Gliders, which is good. They don't seem to have any fear of Chelsea sitting outside the cage watching. But I am wondering if letter her watch them in the cage is effecting my progress. Dogs can look, but no touch. When it's Blanket time (I dont have a tent yet) the dogs are banished.
I guess this is where I would start carrying them around the house. But no pouch...no bra. I hope they dont fall out of there. If they were in or under the hood of my sweatshirt I would feel better...but they have camped out right on me belly!
