Hi there again…if your received your sugar glider when it was very young, it can be easier to tame and train than an older one who becomes set in their ways. Ideally, it is best to begin with a bonding pouch so that it feels comfortable with you. Most gliders are not apt to jump from person to person if they are not secure in their environment or with their primary caretaker. Rather than will jump and run away so this isn’t something which should be done if your glider hasn’t bonded with you first.
Once you are sure that your glider is bonded with you to begin training it to jump from person to person stand shoulder-to-shoulder and have your sugar gliders favourite treats on each shoulder. It will learn to travel between each person to find it’s treats. Next, take a small step apart where your glider needs to hop over onto the next person’s shoulder for the treat and continue spreading yourselves far enough apart where the glider can still land safely between each of you.
Here are some websites which shows you how to train your glider: http://www.ncagr.com/vet/AnimalWelfarePacket.htm
