Tag Archives: Suggies

Three days ago I adopted two one year old sugar gliders, a male and a female. The girl I got them from said she didn’t have enough time. I think that she didn’t take care of them at all, because when I got them, the cage was filthy and they stunk to high heavens! I’ve been working with them everyday and they are still skittish and act like they weren’t bonded with before. They are eating apples out of my hand but still will not let me touch them or try and pick them up. I have tried to get them out of their pouch when they are sleeping so that I can carry them around in a bonding pouch, but they always wake up and start crabbing at me. They bite me a lot and overall just act like they have never seen a human before. How can I bond with adult suggies that have never been bonded with before or simply ignored? How long with they continue to bite me and be scared of me? Should I try bonding with them one at a time? How can I earn their trust when someone never paid to them before? Thanks!!
