: I have gotten my share of sugar glider nips but I was wondering, have
: you guys have ever gotten a bite that goes through the skin? When
: I first started researching my gliders I had people warn me that gliders
: would bite really hard down to the bone! Am I just lucky or where those
: just rumors or facts that only apply to unsocialized imported specimens?
My male, when I first got him did nip but not very hard.
However I did see a bite he did do to his previous owner.
If it did not go to the bone it was not far from it. The puncture
was not very big but the hole it left was. I have
had a healthy respect for him and have never pushed him to
where he felt he had to bite me. We are not bonded but
I am working on it a bit at a time. I am letting him come
to me. Thats probably tho because of what I have seem him
do to another person.
