Differences for “ Restraining ”

===== Restraining A Sugar Glider =====<br>
Put your hand down over the animal lightly pressing them against a flat surface 
then grasp the animal. While closing your grasp around the animal, thrust your 
thumb up along the chest of the animal until it reaches the bottom of their 
jaw. This hold will disable their body and head and not allow their teeth to 
reach your skin. The sugar glider who is not used to this hold will crab and 
fight initially trying to escape. The hold does not hurt or damage them as long 
as they are able to breathe, so maintain the hold as long as needed in order to 
inspect the animal or to satisfy whatever procedure you are performing. Over 
time, an animal may very well get used to being held this way and will stop 
fighting it and will simply relax until you are finished.
  
The only issue with holding an animal in this way will be un-managed nails. 
Sharp nails will wrap around your thumb and begin tearing at your skin. But 
that is still highly preferable to receiving a very deep clamping bite. You can 
simply scrub the area afterward with an antibiotic solution to keep the 
scratches from becoming inflamed and infected.
