Isolated/Lonely glider..... - 12/04/08 07:14 AM
One of my clients' teenage daughters bought a male glider about 8 weeks ago. She got him on impulse from a trade show. Well the girl assumed the glider came instantly friendly and became scared after being bitten. Her mother said she puts food in the cage and that is about all the interaction her daughter is willing to give now, out of fear. I am considering taking the glider, as I feel extremely sorry for the little guy. I am aware about the quarentine period and the initial vet exam. But my question is can a glider without any human interaction for 2 months even be able to trust and bond with my family? We have two babies already, a girl around 8 or so weeks (don't really know, she was pulled away from her mother too early) and a neutered boy about 12 weeks. My husband swears he would be unbondable but I just don't know. I can't stop thinking about this little guy roaming around in his cage for the rest of his life. Is three an odd number to have...would there be fighting?
