: Nikki-
: Bourbon often says "daytime is bonding time, nighttime is playtime". Which is correct.
: The behavior that you describe is 100 normal for playtime. If you work more on your bonding time you may see it refelected in playtime.
: You are being boring during playtime. Gliders are busy, busy, busy. Play with your glider by gently tossing a poker chip or plastic bottle cap aross the bed (or floor, if you have a floor glider like I do). Put your glider on the tallest place in your room and pretend to wall away - see if he will jump to you. Swing a string with a bell back and forth. Gliders are attracted to moving objects. Don't forget to have meal worms or some sort of treat handy during playtime.
: Have fun!
Thank you. I'll try that. I'm going to try to carry him with me all the time in a little pouch or something. I know he wont like it at first, but he'll get used to it.
