Hi Jenny, Tito is one lucky little glider. It sounds like you've caught the glideritis from your son. You'll find that every trip includes a stop at a Pet shop to see if they have any new glider toys, or goodies. When I shop for groceries, I'll remember all the fruits and veggies for my gliders and forget milk and bread for the skin family. They have a way of taking over a big portion of your heart.

My gliders are bonded to both my hubby and I and they also are happy with my son, all grown and lives elsewhere, which is great when I need a suggie-sitter.

Welcome to GC, it is the first place I go to when I have a question.

You are right Donnarae, it seems like every free moment I have I am thinking about things I can do with or for Tito.

My son has been spending at least 5 hours a day with Tito and I am sitting back and waiting for my turn (he is doing a good job so I don't want to step in and interfere. I want to reinforce his positive behavior.) We both agreed that I would start helping (handling and bonding) Tuesday evening after he has had a week to bond with Tito.)

I can't wait for my turn!!!

Being part of the crew has its ups and downs...Up: we are one cool family. Down: we are freaks and all have terrible cases of 'Glideritis'. Then there's the fact we are even bigger freaks because when it comes to us having such contagious cases of Glideritis...

WE LOVE IT!!!

Congratulations and welcome to the freak family: here's your badge, certificate, and leper hood.

It's about 24 hours 'til YOUR turn Jenny, have you started the countdown??

I don't think she's here... She is sitting in front of the cage right now, doing the count down!!!

Right!! I can't wait for tonight's update!

Guess what!! I am holding Tito RIGHT NOW My son is FINALLY taking some time away from Tito to go to the pool so I am the official (unpaid) babysitter.

However, in Tito's displeasure with making my acquaintance, he became his alter ego - Tito Crabby Pants. Oh my goodness he was crabbing at me. I bought him off with a few meal worms and he became content and went back to sleep. Whew!

I am SOOOOOOOO excited I can hardly contain myself. I'm sure he won't let me handle him later (he would want to but his alter ego won't allow him to trust me yet) but I am soooo excited just to get to hold him in the bonding pouch.

That is the happiest and longest string of emoticons I've ever seen!
