Glider Dominance - 12/31/17 02:28 AM
So, Suki and Tem are a whole week home and both really getting used to things and showing their true colors. Psycho Suki and Timid Tem.
I’ve been getting the girls up around 730 / 8 for tent time. Suki jumps, explores and plays for a solid 2 hours, and seems to enjoy her exercise and exploring of us.
Tem on the other hand usually stays in the pouch. I keep my hand in the pouch. She has taken to light nips and licking and cleaning my hand. She comes out after about an hour, but spends much of her time content to groom.
Tonight, Suki joined her in the pouch and licked my hand all over - not in the nurturing cleaning way that Tem does but more of a territory marking.
Suki is quick to grab food from Tem, and really seems to be the alpha / boss. Is this typical behavior for one to assert so much dominance?
