Ours do that from time to time. I just shush them and pet and rub their pouch till they quit to let them know I'm not leaving them alone till they are quiet again.
We have done this with Dot and it has calmed to lunging biting the pouch. I've even gotten brave and stuck my fist in to their pouch. I get grabbed, and then they settle down and snuggle.

yea he seems much better today... I actually think it was jonathans game and the storm that had them riled up- I actually managed to have my first ever tent time with them today! (Finally got a tent!) And Jonathan joined us.. We put the pom pom bowl in there too- At first they were like What the hecks this place? then once they realized it was a FREE Roam area they went nuts...Climbing up me, up jonathan, jumping back and forth between us...trying (and failing) to climb the walls, jumping and burying themselves in the pom poms... Yuki kept trying to move the bowl everywhere, shoving it- flipping in- climbing under it and being a turtle glider...etc.. but he does this with thier kitchen and all their toys in the cage too- I have everything nice and clean and set up when I got to bed, and I wake up and everything is moved to the LEFT side of the cage... Silly butts.

I Finally managed to get the boys a "floor toy" And oh man do they like it... I had to secure it to the side of the cage with C links though because since its a homemade cage modification- that side is actually up higher than the rest of it... Sooo when I set the ship in there..and they went to check it out they tipped it over and scared themselves! So I just took c links and made two chains to hold it in place against the cage wall. Its a fisher price ship... I did have both of them in it peeking out the bottom "windows" And I tried to get a picture of it but my phone wasnt cooperating at all- so I couldnt... so instead heres one right after they jumped out-
looking at me like im crazy...Its normal around here... Spoiled gliderbutts... XD

LOL, they're so funny! That looks a lot like my brat's Noah's Arc toy, but theirs is different in color. I often secure their floor toys, I haven't had to do the arc really, but their tree house and their big branch I usually do, and of course the floor wheel. I'm glad your gliders are enjoying their new toy, mine love the floor toys as well.

So Last night was silly and fun... I tried giving kino some scrambled eggs because Yuki was nomming on chicken...and Kino thought the eggs were an enemy and started crabbing and lunging at them angrily... dunno what happened there.. XD but it was silly... I eventually had to calm him down cuz at that point he seemed scared of everything...me, my shadow...the pouch being touched... im not sure how his favorite food got to him that badly... but by morning it was all gone...so Really im just confused... Yuki got back in one of the pouches... and one of my favorite things to do is to put milk rings on the edge for him to take into the pouch... well, they have a big bowl with a bunch of random assorted toys in it in the corner... so I started taking random things from there to experiment if he'd take those too... I set a straw up... GONE... a bracelet? GONE... a rubber duck? GONE... by the end of this... he had 5 bracelets, 4 milkrings, a rubber duck..two monkeys, three milk caps ,2 spoons and 6 straws in there... Lookat this... and that look just tells me he wanted me to give him more stuff... Pic 1 ~ Pic 2 ~ Pic 3 ~ Pic 4 ~ Pic 5What a goober.... haha... Then earlier today before we went to my mom and stepdads for fathers day (and to do laundry) It was nail trimming time... and there was improvement! Jonathan only got bit twice by Yuki (rather than the 5 times last time..) And no blood was drawn! Kino behaved a bit more too! Still little devils when that time comes.. but hey...any improvement is a good improvement!

I havent written in this in a while...I've been busy! I just have some small things to share really.. Im making slow progress with Yuki- hes to the point where he will climb onto my arm on his own see me for a minute- then run away... hes also to the point to where I can grab his pudge and tug on it- or bother him and he doesnt bite me.. (though admittedly he did earlier when I bothered him in his pouch...understandable...its still a work in progress XD) i mean seriously- look at this pudge butt! pic 1 ~ pic 2 ~ Pic 3 ~ pic 4 So pudge! And heres Kino making silly faces while eating dried mango XD Pic 1 ~ Pic 2 ~ pic 3 ~ pic 4 ~ I still love my gliderbutts XD

Hello! Its been forever I know and Im sorry.. I've had a busy few weeks/month... I mean really.... My uncle died...My phone died... my boyfriend broke up with me and kicked me and the butts out of the apartment..I also lost my job and had to move back in with my mother an hour away....(And this all happened in a week...) It was stressful...But the boys handled it very well and they actually seem to be doing better here... Yuki only tries to bite me now when hes overzealous for a treat or I annoy him by putting my hand in their pouch when they're trying to sleep..and Kino seems to enjoy climbing all over me- Yuki does at some points- he'll jump onto my arm then jump down...but its small progress and it will be fine...I'll bond with them yet..I have the space and the ability to do so now without being yelled at for every little thing with them. I dont think they liked Jonathan much...considering after we left they are alot more social with me... They lost their sister (My Guinea pig) a few days ago (on the 14th) She got too worked up on the ride back to moms house- and just went downhill from there- She had been sick with severe lung issues for her entire life... so the fact that she lasted 4 years was amazing to me and im proud of her...I dont really think they notice other than the fact that I'm paying much more attention to them... I had to keep a close eye on Luv-bug (the guinea) because Of how sick she was... so I admit the gliders didnt get full attention- but they did get it..I didnt ignore them or anything. But now they'll get all of my attention because they are all I have now... And they're honestly the only boys I need in my life haha...

So much piled on at one time.
I hope things go better for you.

Good luck at the pet shop. They would be crazy not to hire you! If you get the job, maybe you can take the boys like Mechnut does and spend more time with them while they sleep.

LOL YAY PROGRESS! Slow progress but its something! now that I have the ability to I've been getting the gliderbutts out to cuddle with me while I hang out on my computer and watch tv. I basically just take out the pouch they're already in and lay it on my chest...they at first werent sure about this- but now they love it..and seem to know exactly whats going on. I put them there and they immediately cuddle in and Go right back to sleep and stay with me there for HOURS. This is an amazing improvement from before. For most people its a small step- but Im happy for any steps at all! The other day I was saying good morning and I put my hand in the pouch to pet them- Yuki bit me...but not hard...then he started licking my fingers... This was amazing!...then well..he bit me for real later... but it was still SOMETHING. Last night I had them cuddling with me while I watched Arrested development on netflix.. and They passed out soooo hard..I couldnt believe it.. Yuki was out the most...on his back, splayed out- tail out of the pouch near my face..haha... I HAVE PROOF! Pic 1 ~ Pic 2 ~ pic 3I woke them up with the last one with the camera flash... but still XD It was silly! not only that but I also got a kiss on the lips a bit later from yuki- and earlier during this mornings snuggles I got more kisses from Yuki, then kisses and Face nuzzles from Kino.. YAY! Slow but good progress! Its okay if it takes a while I love them both a ton! Im willing to work for their love!

Last night I played with the gliderbutts some more- Kino kept climbing all over me....and since they need their nails trimmed pretty badly he left a few scratches on my shoulder and back...he also had a strange obsession with playing with/going after my tank top arm strap thing...I dunno gliderbutts are weird...XD Either way I had an awesome time playing with them last night- well mostly Kino- yuki was still standoffish...But thats how he is Im pretty used to it by now- when he wants my attention Im sure he'll ask for it...(though I do still reach out towards him to pet and love him- he doesnt join in the fun himself) They both however seem to have an obsession with my glasses I have tons of Gliderbutt nose smears on the lenses from them checking them out-- and Kino also likes my phone...more gliderbutt nose smears on that screen.... XD Kino hogged the wheel last night like always... and Yuki FINALLY got a turn in it... Then Kino decided he wanted back in- Then they both ran in it together for a lil bit- pic1 Pic2 pic3 Then yuki decided he was finished..and when it was over- my adorable Kino face didnt want me to leave him! lolLook at that face... seriously...how could I be so cruel?? Anyway..the boys are going in to get their nails trimmed and a wellness check at the vets office today...that should be a fun adventure....(I'll tell you how it goes..) considering how much of an adventure it would be trimming their nails at the apartment when Jonathan would help me? This is why im paying a vet to do it...im not to the point where they'll let me yet..and Asking mom to help me seems weird/cruel since Yuki bites...and bites HARD...REALLY really HARD.... Im planning to bring them in their bonding pouch- but have the cage I brought them to the vet to get fixed in in the backseat JUST in case we cant get them settled enough for the pouch- that way they can run/zoom/climb be excited in the cage where their safe...since I imagine this vet visit will probably work them up a bit...(It happened last time too...better to be safe than sorry.) but I could also be TOTALLY wrong and they wont even need the cage...we'll have to see XD
