Need Help W/ Bonding!!!

Sarah_Spencer Oct 25, 2006 12:42 AM

Well, I got myself a baby female sugar glider on saturday. I bought her from a petshop but they said she was about 8-10 weeks old (OOP I assume) She's small enough that when she bites (only has happened once) that it just pinchs, but doesn't break the skin, but I do see some little teeth. I gave her a day and a 1/2 to settle in before trying to work with her. I can pet her in her cage and lift up her back legs so far. So the other day, I put her into a bonding pouch to take her with me to do a little shopping and what not. She crabbed when any little thing wasn't right. I was wondering if this is normal and if there's anything I can do to stop her from crabbing every time I move at all.

she needs more time. going shopping could/will be stressful, there are lots and lots of new scents, new sounds, and everything is new. I would suggest if you want to move around and do stuff with her just do it in a park, or to the post office, etc. Not in an extremely crowded environment. You want her to know you, and only you before you introduce her to other people.
