 New Sugar Glider Owner...Early days!

I have just become a new sugar glider mummy to a breeding pair of 2 year old gliders. While they were well looked after, the owners had trouble bonding with them - we're up for the challenge!

After a shakey few days of settling in, the female (who was the grouchyest) is now accepting food from me, crabbing inbetween mouthfuls, not really knowing wether to be happy or mad at me being there! The male is more timid however he will let you stroke him without being bitten!

Here's some pics..





They are named Juno & Pan

Heya, I just bought a sugar glider from a pet shop and have read up a lot on nutrition and bonding. The gliders OOP date was in Feb of this year I believe, I have to make sure. He doesn't have any issue with me petting him in his cage whenever or hand-feeding. It is his first night home with me though and he's still getting use to his surroundings. I haven't tried picking him up or taking him out of the cage yet due to this. He doesn't seem timid and I have high hopes of being able to bond with him ok. Is there any advise you could give me with bonding with him since it has been a while since he's been OOP? BTW, his name is Zeke :)
