My Female Glider used to Love me - 09/24/17 01:33 PM
I have had my Gliders (male & female) for a little over 1 year now so I gues their age to be 1 1/2. They are always excited to see me and love to kiss and groom me sometimes to the extreme and love to be on me for most of our playtime but for the last month now my female(Mousey) wants to rip my skin off with her teeth. At first thought it was aggressive grooming but I'm pretty sure that's not the case here.
She loved holding my ears and licking me like I was something tasty and couldn't get enough lol but now she is rough and goes straight to biting. She comes when called and jumps on me on command so I am not rewarding bad behavior. I make the vocal TSSTTT sound every time she gets too rough or bites and also give her time outs by placing her back their cage, so far it's not working.
I am feeling lost and heartbroken because I don't know what is happening to our beautiful bond we had. My Mousey is just a tiny girl, half the size and weight of her mate Nibbles(never bites or is rough, but use to) even tho they are the same age give or take a few weeks. My male is neutered and I don't know if it is a cycle she is going through but I am at a loss.
