Taming my gliders(handheld) - 11/04/19 08:23 AM
Hello there, I have Two female gliders for almost 6 months now.(gotten them when they are 2months oop).They are sweet little creatures and they are somehow bonded to me. I would spend at least 4times a week having tent time with them.
They no longer crab Nor bite at anyone. Problem is they hate being held. Whenever I hold them even for awhile, they would try to get out of my hands while making hissing noises. I tried holding on to them tightly while massaging their heads but they still don’t seem to calm down.
Tried offering mealworms while holding them and they don’t seem interested in it at all. Only a few occasions they would lick honey off my finger while being hand held and would eventually try to squeeze their way out of my hand. Anyone facing the same issue? I wish I am able to hold them in future without them freaking out.
