Many of the more experienced glider owners will tell you to try to get her to lick something like honey off of you finger. She will probably lunge at you and bite but you can't jerk back. You will have to take the bite. I also,
took my baby girl into the bathroom in her sleeping pouch and laid her bag open, in the bathtub, turned down the lights, shut the toilet lid (just in case) and sat there quietly and let her come out on her own. You could put some food out to bait her to come out. After she is out, she may come to you on her own. In the tub, she can't escape. She also will have no place to hide. Speaking softly to them helps as well. When she sleeps, put something in her sleeping pouch that smells like you so she will become accustomed to your scent. The main thing is don't loose you patience and don't skip a day. Try using a bonding pouch during the day. Good Luck!

: I just got my new sugar glider today and she seems very scared and I have left her alone so she can get used to her new home. But when ever I talk to her or even look at her she flips out and makes a crabbing noise. Well, what I am asking is if anyone can give me some tips on how to properly get aquainted with my new baby sugar glider I would be very greatfull. Thank you.
