We have two gliders (Koa and Jako) Koa is very adjusted and barely crabs at all, Jako is Mr. Grump. The first several days we had him he bit everyone in the family including Koa. He would lunge and crab like crazy. He is still grumpy but he is really coming around and he really loves his lady Koa.
Try cutting up one of your t-shirts and putting it in his pouch/bed so he will get familiar with your scent.
Don't give up he will come around.
: okay, i'm a first time glider mom, so please bear with me if i'm being overly worried about my little Tyler. i got him 9 days ago and he hated the site of me. i've spent many hours with him since i got him, bribing him shamelessly with fruit and honey. first he got to the point where he'd take food from me. then he started licking honey off my fingers, sniffing and nibbling my hand, and then a few days ago he let me pet him! i still can't pick him up yet however, and i've kept trying to pick up his pouch while he's sleeping in it and he goes insane! crabbing, lunging, the whole bit. he hasn't decreased this behavior at all. now, tonight i just picked up his pouch and he just looked at me and went back to sleep. would he suddenly trust me, just like that? or was he maybe just too tired to do anything about it? any ideas on this are appreciated. thanks!
