My sugar glider has never bit me. but since she hasnt i want to know if a general bite hurts? not the really mad biting the hard ones, but just a bite when you are getting to know them.(general bite)
My glider's don't bite me unless my hands smell like food, but they've never drwan blood from that. When mine bite, (it's more just a nibble) it's really just a pinch, and doesn't hurt for more than 10 seconds.
Not to be off subject, but is the glider in your picture, (the white one) yours? White glider's are so pretty! I wish they weren't as rare as they are!
well i went to, 2 diff neighbor hoodds and had half a bag of candy. which is good enough for me. so i sorted it out and the stuff i didnt like i put it in a bowl and handed it out the rest of the time. lol
Back to biting. mine bite/nip/taste what ever you want to call it. I mess with mine I get my hands all wet and then they come and lick and bite my hands. It's like they like it. If I give them meal worms they know what hand it is in and try to bite or open my finger looking for the worm. So I would say when they do that they are not being scared or mean just normal. Now when they bite and draw blood another story. I would say gliders can bond to who ever holds them. When I go to bed once in a while my sons will take the gliders out and play with them, feed them treats, ect. When I have them out they will jump to any member of my family. I would say the more people that interact with them the more they will bond or get use to everybody.
actually this may sound rude i promise u im not rude but im not sorry. i know mine is off topic. but thats how mine will be forever and always. no offense
haha i have been bit by one of our wild gliders at the zoo i work at as well as an 8 month old suggie i was looking at when i bought my babies lemme tell both times they drew blood if you've ever had a finger stick at the hospital to get blood thats what it feels like! OUCH my babies have only nipped my finger if i have leftover sweets on my hand :)
oh!! i know they can draw blood. but mine wont bite me. shes bit everyone but me actualy. lol. but has never drawn blood. she doesnt actualy bite but its more of a nip.
