coldfusionpower -- With regards to bonding with Chika (I hope I got her name right? : )) try this method -- I used it with my friend's glider who was a little skittish. Take the coconut shell out and leave the sleeping pouch in the cage (preferably one with drawstrings so you can close it and leave only a bit of it open for air). When the glider goes into the pouch, let her settle down for a few minutes and then slowly take the pouch out, I would suggest that you try closing the pouch first before taking it out. She might crab but try not to jump or get too surprised eh -- just expect that she'll do it and you'll be okay. Take the pouch out, be sure to close the drawstrings/tie it up, etc and now you can hold her close to you. Putting her against your chest would be a good idea as this will help to soothe her a little, plus your heartbeat might remind her of being in mummy's pouch
Carry her around for a few hours or for however long you want to. This starts the bonding process. Whatever you do, during the first few days of doing this, please try to refrain from opening the pouch to take a peek at her. You might frighten her and this will just cause her to crab again. When she's in the pouch, you can get her accustomed to your voice. Don't worry about noise or whatever, gliders will get used to this and its best you get her used to the environment your in anyways. You can even start calling her name out and she'll slowly learn it soon enough. Also, when you think she's settled down and is used to you, you can start handing her treats through the pouch's opening. Yoghurt on the finger is always a yummy treat. So is a cube of apple or a raisin (with regards to raisin, only feed two to three pieces a week -- it isn't that good for gliders to take) I wish you all the best! And keep us posted! Cheers!
Hi misa. thanks for the advice.. but kinda late lar. she's already in the pouch. err well technicaly no. she just go inside to have a look and sit at the opening. while i'm giving her food (she eat alot of honeydew) when eating the last piece, she suddenly stop eating, stare at me and i stare back and she making hissing noice. haa ? i think about a minute or so. then she continue eating..
i'm in the process of making the pet room into a glider proof. she's a bit active this morning ( around 4-7am). jumping here and there in the cage. kesian la.. small room to lompat around.

Yeah, CFP, misa's method is similar to what I would suggest. Just put in the sleeping pouch and take out the coconut. Once she gets used to the pouch, it'll be A-OK
Cheaka, your Gollum still cool after all the hype...
Yeah, the bedding does help a bit. Did a whole spring cleaning and modification to his cage when I got back. But my hubby thinks the woody smell is too strong and
