Hello:
My son was given "Flip" (he name him) for Christmas. I have
done an incredible amount of research on the care, feeding,
bonding, etc of sugar gliders.

Flip was initially raised by a family, then taken to a pet
store for a few months (he's six months) and now he is with
us. We realize he's going to need quite a bit of time to come
around.

I'm so glad to have found your message board - thank you.

I've been hearing about "bonding pouches" but don't know
what they are.

Also, my son starts back to school next week, I work all day
out of the house so what happens to our little Flip! If I
leave a radio on for him will that help???

He's rather grouchy - keeps nipping us - but we are waiting
for a new hand made cage to be built. Is it best to leave
him alone and not bug him? Should I let him sleep all day
without interaction, when we are home?

Help!!!! a stressed new owner!!!!
