Subject: How long does bonding take?

How long did it take your glider to bond to you? I have
had mine for two months, and I don't know. He doesn't mind
if I hold him, but he rarely will crawl onto me. Which
is wierd, because he will glide to me from high places.
I got him when he was eight months old from a previous
owner. Could this be the problem, does he not trust me?
What can I do to improve his trust?
also-
Is it bad to physically pick up your glider if he doesn't
seem to mind? Sometimes I have to pick him up when I go
to bed, which he doesn't like. Does this hurt the trust?
Is there an easier way? I tried bribery, but he jumps off
after he gets the treat.

thanks
