Hi! I'm Allison and I'm new to this whole sugar glider thing. I have one baby his name is Petree, I've had him for about a month now.

My sister also adopted a glider at the same time, and hers is always making these cute chirping noises, I read online that could mean I love you or just plain talking.

Something I have noticed, however, is that my baby doesnt make those noises,and we had kinda a rough start with bonding, he crabbed at me a whole lot and his usual form of communication is crabbing only when hes like grumpy which is typical. Does anyone know why he doesnt make those noises? Is he just a quiet glider? Does anyone else have/had this issue? Any help would be appreciated

Thanks !!

Some gliders are noisy & some are quiet. As long as you two are bonding, even if it is slow improvement, I honestly wouldn't worry the issue too much.

I agree with Hutch. My first two didn't make any other sounds than crabbing and barking for about the first six months.

Each glider is an individual and will make the sounds when they wish to express themselves. I don't feel it has a lot to do with bonding when they are young. Mine make these sounds to communicate with each other and when they get a treat.

We have a lot of chatter right now because one is separated from the other two. They are definitely calling to each other, but not ready to be a colony again...

So glad to have you here. All advice you have been given is spot on, and gliders are certainly individuals. I agree 100% with everything said. Keep up with the bonding, and your little one will ore than likely find his voice.
