We've been researching gliders for a loooong time before we finally took the plunge yesterday and got two 16 week old boys.

One (Macro) is as we expected. He crabs if he's not expecting your hand near him and you don't have a treat. He retreats into his pouch and likes being high up in the curtains or in his cage, so we're just letting him adjust in his own time and leaving him to be while he gets used to our scent.

The other (Goose) is the exact opposite. He hasn't crabbed once, even when we physically picked him out of his cage to lube his willy because we noticed it was staying out a bit longer than we were comfortable with to ensure it didn't dry out. He jumps all over us, sits on our shoulders watching TV and keeps looking like he's considering jumping between us. He was also playing peekabo with us earlier 😂 I've tried to find others who have had this same situation and can't. Have we just completely struck gold with an extremely friendly and well-bred glider? Or is this almost too strange?

We're gonna take them both to the vets this week for a general checkup anyway but just wondering if anyone else has had an experience like this

We had two glider babies that came from the same litter that were like that. POLAR OPPOSITES. One was sweet and loved to be held. The other one hated us and his whole family. He grew out of it some as he got older, but is still “sassy” as my son calls it.
