Shirt as a Bonding Pouch?

I know some people have their gliders in their shirts, but do they have to be fully bonded to you to be able to do this? Can both be in at the same time? And do they move around a lot? Thanks!

Uh I tried once with Rosie... and was bitten so I think it's best to try after their bonded to you?

Mine love to hide in my shirt. If they are not bonded to you just be careful that they don't crawl out and run off.

For the first couple of weeks I would take Boomie in her carrying pouch with me to work.When it seemed that she only slept I began to hold her in my shirt and pet her and work with one hand.After mid morning snack time she began to crawl in my shirt and tuck in somewhere ( my rolls or bra strap)and sleep the entire day.Then no one knew I had her.Sometimes she would hang by a few toenails and when in a deep sleep fall off down to my waistband.Now, I always have a protective hand over her-just in case and we go everywhere everyday.No one notices that I hold a hand close to my body in a strange way.If I am going out for the evening I leave her home in case she would wake up and begin to walk around-she does not like the confines of the carrying pouch and its been months since she has been in it.We have our routine now,5 days a week I bring her in my room and she runs over to my dresser and gets into the top drawer to sleep till 1-2 hrs later I get her out by showing her my outstretched shirt that she climbs in. Most days she's there till bed bout midnight when she gets to run around my room again for 30 to 60 minutes then into her cage for the night.Weekends she mostly is in cage due to a husband who says my boob rat makes him want to throw up.If he falls asleep early I get her out. I miss her if we are not together for 1/2 day.It most likely will have a lot to do with your suggie's personality too. If yours is awake a lot during the day and likes to be out and run then it would not work to keep them in your shirt.Booms is very shy and needs a dark protected place to be in.Sometimes she has moved and i can't tell where she is and didn't feel her moving and you will see me jump and begin patting myself all over trying to locate her. I do have to keep a conscious mind on her locality all day long but i love it!Good luck with your's-I plan on having one of these babies the rest of my life always with me-oh and she does not pee or poop either-maybe 5 times in this past year-she's such a good baby,I love her.

mine love being in my shirt. Actually, when i first got both of my adult gliders this is what i did. I didnt get bit...but my gliders arent really biters anyways. They do move around a lot at first but then theyll settle down and sleep, mine like to sleep in the sleeves! i havta walk around like a mummy :p

I'm thinking about tucking in my shirt and putting hair bands around the sleeves. (Should I wear a belt or something?) Then, do I just sit around from about 12:00 to like 3:00 or 4:00, then put them back in their cage? Thoughts?

I wanna try that. But I will wear a tank top underneath so it won't be a scratchy for me. Do you just put them in your shirt or leave an open bonding pouch underneath?

the second day i had my first glider he discovered that he could crawl into my shirt and go to sleep and ever since he always will, my second one however will now but didnt like to as much at first.

i love gizmo- i try to wear like a cami when i have then in my shirt because its so tight fitting they can just crawl in and wont fall through my shirt, it does look kinda awkard though becasue i look like i have a third boob, nope its just sugar gliders!
