I just bought a new glider and i was wondering how i would go about taming her. She is not tame at all and she likes to crab at me.

All new gliders crab (unless its been handled extensively since birth).

Dont let it phase you too much -- they're just trying to scare you as much as you scare them.

Keep trying to make friends -- he/she will eventually stop when two things are realized: 1. the noise/biting doesnt make you go away and 2. you arent going to hurt him/her no matter how "bad" they're acting

There is a link to a web page with excellent bonding tips -- I just dont remember which -- sorry frown
