Hello all I am new here but I have a question. My glider has suddenly taken interest in my eyes. By that I mean hes now sniffs my eye and then he will scratch it really fast like a dog clawing at a door or something. I closed my eye then opened it again he did it again. The next time he did it, it really hurt so i pulled my head back so he couldnt reach but then he just did it again. Anyone know why he is doing this...or what it might possibly mean? He always climbs all over me and doesnt have a problem then all of a sudden he did this.

I can say anytime my glider do something I dont like, I gently move them along.
sometimes its hard grooming a spot on my arm, if it turns to a wound that
just seems to make them think it needs more grooming, so I gently push them away.
usually like a 2 year old child they lose interest for awhile. Also my feet,
usually I wear socks in the glider room, but sometime late at night I forget
and I find myself barefoot. this means they may find my dead skin on bottom of
foot and start to groom, not nice, so I move them away. usually a few times
and they are off doing something else
