New glider nibbles HELP

 New glider nibbles HELP

hello! I just got my glider about a week ago and she is 12 weeks! (I've never had one before so I'm very cautious with anything/everything I do with her and need all the advice I can get!) well I've held plenty of baby gliders before and have never delt with one like mine, Harmony. I have done everything I'm supposed to, cut up an old shirt that has my scent and put it in her cage, her bonding pouch, and sleeping pouch. She is very comfortable in her bonding and sleeping pouch and seems to be getting used to the surrounding areas. Well i have been slowly trying to pick her up/ let her crawl on me. Every time I try to let her crawl on me she'll nibble a few times (it feels like nothing) and then she'll chomp down. (She very rarely crabs, today was actually her first time crabbing at me and it scared me to death because she's never done it before!) I've read that it's normal for her, do I just need to be patient and this phase will pass.. Or what? I just want to hold her, but I can't if she draws blood every time... Please help :(

Your just going to have to give this little glider sometime to get used to you. Make sure you have clean hands so he/she is not trying to taste something on your hands. i dont let mine get a good chance to bite me. I let the process go slow. My wife just sticks her hand in the pouch while they are sleeping takes a few bites they go back to sleep. she does this a few time and they stop biting after they get used to her scent.
