gliders crab because it is their NATURE. IT IS WHAT THEY DO. some gliders
can crab forever. I have 2 colonies, I have 1 crabber in one, and 2 crabbers in the other. But over time they get to know me and my voice. So they do their
JOB AND CRAB AT THE NOISE I MAKE, then when he or she sees me they stop crabbing.
BUT you still need to get to the point they can look at you and know you are a SAFE THING, YOU ARE NOT DANGER so they can stop crabbing.
crabbing - to scare away danger. to alarm the colony of danger. IT IS THEIR JOB TO CRAB AT YOU.
dogs bark and glider crab.
Just let him crab, talk to him, feed him a treat, give him a pet. after awhile or after a LONG LONG time he will start to see you and stop crabbing.
Also some glider have a very hard time trusting humans, I can pet scarface, have her run at me for a treat then run away. but she will still crab at me, still give me a very small tiny nip just to tell me to leave her alone, but she will let me even pick her up without biting me. She just prefers to be left away from humans.
