I have just gotten a sugar glider and i have been having a problem. he sees to like me but anytime he climbs on my arms or hands he starts to bit HARD and he dosent stop he just keeps biting until i can get him off with my other arm!. i thought it was because he smelled food on me but then he did it to my forearm so i just don't know what to do because he always draws blood and it really hurts! he seems to like hanging out in my hoody pocket but as soon as he leaves i get kinda scared because i know he is gonna bite... any help appreciated!

Welcome to GC! And hello to a fellow NYer

You've gotten good advice above. I always wear long sleeves when handling mine because it helps keep nail scratches at bay as well. But once he gets used to your scent, the nipping will probably subside.

My one boy always came to my hand or foot and would dig. When he does I consistently Say NO and blow on him. He rarely does it anymore.

I agree with the posting above. I always where long sleeves bcz I dont like all of the scratches on my arms. I used to where a thick sweat shirt to prevent one of my male gliders from biting me. Once he gets used to your scent he will stop. I would keep a shirt or jacket you've worn over his cage all day and night so he will get used to your scent.
