So, i’ve had my sugar gliders, Lucifer and Nathaniel, for almost four months now. I’m a first time sugar glider owner, so i think at first i was a little too scared to handle them a lot since i didn’t want to hurt them. Of course i still put them in their bonding pouch, pet them, and gave them treats when they were awake. But, lately i’ve been handling them a lot more. They don’t get too much out of cage playtime. But, every night i’ll play with them for a while. I’ll stick my hand in the cage and have them jump on my arms and run around my arme. They usually get pretty excited to see me, and when i walk in my toom they try to follow me. Nathaniel used to be pretty shy and timid, but he’s gotten a lot better. My question is, is it normal for them to bite me when they’re on my arm? Sometimes i’ll put treats on my arm and then they’ll climb on my arm to get it. So are they biting because they think it’s a treat or is it something else?
