 types of bites and covid

Hey y'all, I wanted to clarify types of aggression for the new glider owners. The first one I am going to start with it a bluff. A bluff is where the glider gets upset and acts like its going to bite, but never does. The second is a "tag". This is when the glider bites for a quick second then lets go; they do this out of fear, anxiety, aggression, or just to say they want to be let alone. The last is what I call the "bully". This is when the glider will bite and not let go. Sometimes it will even draw blood. This occurs when a glider will bully you around and not let you do the necessary actions. Hope this helped someone!!

Now on covid 19 I hope y'all are distancing yourself and washing hands. A quick tip; if you wear gloves you need to be sure not to touch your face with them one, don't eat food with them 2, and 3 don't wear them in your car if you wore them inside a store and didn't change them. You might think this will lower the chances of you getting the illness, your actually increasing it by bringing all the bacteria into your car or on your face. Does anyone know if a glider can get it? Ive tried to look it up but it doesn't say? stay safe!
Toodles!!!!!

gloves are actually unnecessary regarding covid19, basically when touching a potentially contaminated surface with your gloves, you move the virus around with those like you would do with your own hand, and removing the gloves without contaminating your hands is next to impossible, so you would have to wash them after removing your gloves anyway. Regarding gliders, there is no data available (and no research done so far), however, the cells of their respiratory system, like all marsupials, have a really different antigenic profile than ours, so it's unlikely that this particular virus (sars-cov-2) can infect them. (the only virus known so far to be able to infect all species of mammals is rabbies, because it infects the central nervous system which has similar type of cells in all mammals, and it still is an unlikely one with marsupials because their body temperature is too low for the virus to replicate fast enough)
