two males not neutered? could cause aggression problems.
looks like you have a great start... taking a mealworm off you hand, without
getting bit... excellent.
I would next give them the treat from you fingers. if they take it without
biting great, move to step two. put one hand low in front, have the treat in
the other hand higher and back some. make them step onto your hand with front
legs to get the treat. WHEN they seem ok with this, stepping on your hand to get
at the treat, go a step farther. make them climb onto your hand to get the treat.
after while they may not run, but sit on your hand or arm and eat the treat.
go slow and pet them on the back legs slow and easy, but come in slow.
I feel coming in HIGH with your hands makes them think you are more of a predator.
I made my bathroom glider safe, so would carry the sleeping/ bonding pouch into the bathroom with them secure. I would squeeze them out of pouch like toothpaste
and sit on pouch. give them time to explore, come to you, dont me handies trying
to grab them. have a treat for them. once you put the pouch out they should go in it happily, but you may need to guide them in.
some gliders get friendly very easy, some are very hard to bond with. My males
seemed easier to bond with then the females, but I have one female that is also
super bonded. |
