i have had a sugar glider for three weeks now and she still won't let me hold her. i've tried holding a walnut on my hand but she just steals the walnut and runs off. i tried to hold her while she was occupied with her nut but she kinda attacked me. i don't want her to be unsocialized because i don't think i'll get the full enjoyment out of her. Please help me. She's the cutest thing and when you look into her big buggy eyes you just want to hug her. oh yeah, she's a little under a year old if that helps

Sugar gliders are like that. You have to basicly earn her trust.Firts just start little by putting you hand in the cage and feeding,watering, and beding her like you would normaly do. (But pay no attention to her) You sort of have to act like she isnt there so that she gets that your not there to hurt her. If that doesn't earn her trust in 2-3 weeks. Then try putting her in a quiet room but were you family can pass by and talk to her that you visit regularly so that she gets used to the new suroundings and you of coarse.If that still doesnt work . Let her out regularly so that she get used to and the house in stead of being cooped up in a cage and then trying to be handled by a huge thing. I hope I was a help.
