Bonding

        Wear a cover shirt for a day and night lay it on top of the cage the next morning. This cover shirt will belong to your glider at this point. Don't wash it or clean it. After the initial waiting time, 3 days to a week, this training will start. The first chance you get, to spend time with your glider in the day or late afternoon, put on a pocketed shirt, put on the gliders cover shirt,, remove the pouch, glider and all,  as gently as possible to avoid startling them or scaring them. Wear the cover outer shirt that buttons down, under that wear a pocket tee. Button the bottom 3 buttons and tuck them both in, place the pouch in between both shirts on the front of you and button another 2 buttons.  This acts as a pouch to hold their pouch for you. Continue doing what you have done the days before, treats, talking softly and letting them see you.  Start the first day at about a half hour, the whole time talking gently to it, humming to it, offering it treats, rubbing the outside of the pouch. If the glider does well continue to do it as long as possible  dont leave the house with the pouch and glider, till you know that glider is not going to move all day and till they feel safe with you. Each evening place the pouch back into the cage and lay the cover shirt on top of the cage again. Do this till you know the glider bonds. It is imperative that daytime, and  early evening hours are spent with your glider as much as possible. often day time is bonding time night time is play time. During this period, as few people as possible should come in contact with your glider till it feels totally safe with you. suggest getting some pics  and showing them instead of the glider, at least for awhile. This is the longest process. Once you have gotten to the point where if something scares them or startles them, they come running to you.  You will enjoy your pet like you never thought possible. The more time you spend working with it, the better off you are. You need to dedicate at least an hour to 3 hours each day with your glider not just playtime during playtime they won't be spending much time with you.
