What the designer has to say about the "Bonding Mitts":
So I have been talking a lot about the Bonding Mitt that I made. I have mentioned if you are a new glider parent or if you have a glider(s) that still crab and bite after bonding that the Bonding Mitt will help you, but I haven't really gone into the detail of why it will help. I am sorry for that and hope to clear that up now.
The Bonding Mitt will change your bonding experience because it changes behavior in the sugar gliders. By wearing the Bonding Mitt you remove part of the fear and stress they are feeling that causes them to crab and bite. The Bonding Mitt covers you hand removing the appearance of a big claw coming at them. Also, because they are so soft it is comforting to the gliders, like being next to one of their own. With continued use it gets a build up of their scent and yours, making it a shared item.
The Bonding Mitt was not designed as a protective covering for your hands, even though by default it does offer some protection. If it were just about protection you could go by gardening gloves at a discount store. The change in your gliders is what is special about the Bonding Mitt. I know it might seem hard to believe that it could effect that much change in those scared little creatures we love, but over and over I hear the same results from people who get it and try it.
My wife and I still wear our Bonding Mitts every night during playtime. The boys love to jump to the Mitt like a little landing pad. They love sitting on them and sniffing around. They love chewing on the velcro or hanging upside down from the Mitt. I actually couldn't imagine not having it now as it has become an integral part of our colony life.
I started making them to sell because I want everyone to have the best bonding experience that they can and the Bonding Mitt helps achieve that. If you have any questions or want to know more, just ask me. (Facebook link above for questions)

The No Sew Bra Pouch is made for use on your body only, and not to be left in the cage unattended :) The side knots will stretch and create little holes that the gliders can get stuck in on the sides :) I use them for bra bonding and holding in my lap only :)
I can’t thank you enough for giving such a great review of my husbands bonding mitt. I’ve been so anxious to watch this since this morning but was at work when it premiered. We also use our mitts to play catch with our babies. They climb up high and we signal to them by opening and closing our mitt a couple times and they jump right to it. We have fun with it. I love seeing how well Peka responds to it. That’s why we sent it, hoping to help all the scared little babies and their moms and dads who might feel anxious as well. Thanks again, I always enjoy your videos and will share your video too. Thanks again!
Such a neat idea! I have one too that stays on and one that always looks to get off. Especially close to their cage. Have to be mindful not to get close or they smell the cage and jump for it. Another very informative video always learn some new trick to try!
This will be first pair of gliders! So excited to do this 💕
I love all of your videos and view you as a trusted source of information as I research and prepare for suggies of my own someday soon hopefully 🥰
I was in school when you posted this but I’m watching the video now! Seems like it’s good like always!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Thanks for this very useful info. Im a 1st time glider mom, and am trying to work with my baby.
I love so much your videos! They helped me a lot with my gliders. Thanks!
I just got my first glider. Your videos are so helpful...thank u
Precious! Ziggy is in Love! ❤

I have two sugar gliders and the way I'm bonding to them is have them in a pouch or if I'm wearing a hoodie I will put them in my pocket and be in my zoom class
awesome!
Show and tell, how 😎
Thank you so much for these! personally if I’m gonna get a sugar glider I would let it freely jump of of me and not make stay on me but that’s just my opinion and the way I would do it but thank you you so much! 🙏
Absolutely a good option as well
Im gonna get a sugar glider next or next next week
Very helpful vidoes! Question, though: What do you do with nippy gliders? Not fearful, but young gliders who want to take a test bite out of everything. I've got a pair that actively seek out any exposed bits of flesh to see if it's edible! I've tried making the hiss noise, but it's not sticking. Do they grow out of this? My 5 year-old is not like this at all.
Hi! I’m new to the channel.
I was researching sugar gliders when I can across your channel, and I was wondering where you got all the foraging toys?
I make most of my toys! Glad to have you 😊
The back up to the wall doesn't work on my little boy. He just freezes and accept his fate.
Haha so funny!!!
Great video, very helpful for me. A couple follow up questions.
1. Did or diany of your babies shake nervously when doing "stay on me training?
2. Do you think if you encourage biting/nibbling the bonding mit, they might think it is ok to nibble or bite hands with treats?
3. I back against the door and they go lower, lol or they just freeze. Suggestions?
4. I am constantly moving or blocking and cinnamon still jumps ,especially when moving. Do I have a super rebellious, no fear baby or am I doing something wrong?
GliderMama, I have one like that too! One is very calm and will not jump unless she’s sure everything is still and she won’t get hurt. My other one jumps no matter what. My daughter was moving her arm around and walking and she still jumped and scared us both to death.
@@sarabaire5096 Sara, thank you for sharing, Cinnamon has taken two jumps at least, it is scary, scared for sure because that little body hitting the floor just makes me cringe 😬, hoping that she decides that soon that hitting the floor is not fun,
I love your videos😁😁😁😁
thank you
How do you do al the treitsboxes 🤗
Cute sugar glider like staying on your head.
Hey!! Awesome vid.. I have a question that I can’t find a definite answer for on the internet and wanted to get your opinion. As they are nocturnal animals.. when is it okay to train/get them out of their cage? I just noticed its the day time with you and they seem pretty happy to be out.. any advice? Thanks so much
Short daytime training session in my opinion are totally fine. You just don’t want to keep them awake for long periods during the day ♥️
Wow, I really like that target trick!!
Oh good!
Yay
:)
hi kim i was going to ask how often should i do nail triming to my glider
Every 7-14 days
Which pet shop did u get ur sugar gliders from?
How do u stop the bites
What color are these?
I’m getting my first gliders in April and want to eventually train them to stay on me. When would you recommend starting this training? Would you use this as part of the bonding process or wait until they’re bonded to you before starting this?
You can do either way. I choose to do stay on my training with my new gliders.
@@sugargliderdiaries ok thank you! I really love your bonding and interactions with your gliders and would like to have something similar with my gliders. I love your videos and have gotten SO much good information and knowledge from them. ♥️
Do you do this during the day? Easier while sleepy? Thanks 👌
Yes I do!
Hi, thanks for the guide, my Glider is pretty aggressive sometime, I achieved some petting after a lot of bites but now again he keeps yelling at me and if I get too close he tries to bite me, what can I do to have a more confident contact?
Mine does the same 😬 I just gave her some time to adjust to me and carried her without contact and then eventually she warmed uo to me and stopped the biting but she still yells at me when I wake her up but I just pet her and she gets over it 🤷🏻♀️
Idk What to do with my boy tho., he bites if u get near and isn’t afraid to jump out of pouch and run all over the house 😭
And he saw me with the girl when I was putting her back in the cage and he JUMPED ON ME and bit my hand and then crawled in the pouch with the girl 😭😭😂 hes so mean…
What do u do when the sugar gliders crab? What do you recommend doing?
Don’t let them scare you away. I would recommend watching my bonding guide video 😙
Any advice on getting over crabbing? My body just jumps when im petting 1 and my other one crabbs
It will get better in time. It’s hard to fight natural reactions!
@@sugargliderdiaries thank you so much it actually is alot better ive gotten her to open up more
What treats do you keep in the bowl next to their cage?
At this time I was feeding other treats. My new treat video has a bunch of my current treats ♥️
What kind of treats do you use in your toys
I am working on a treat video 🥰
It's nice to make friends and chat ok like
I have one that literally will jump for the wall even with nothing to grab. xD Any advice on that?
lol I have not had that experience... I would say keep moving and be ready to scoop up right away
@@sugargliderdiaries I'm not worried about her getting away as she's pretty curious and doesn't try to hide. Just more worried about her splatting and getting hurt.
Where can I get the bra pouch
Hi, I'm from Malaysia and I also have a sugar glider, his name is Zozo ❤️. 3 months old and tame . can you share how to make sugar glider fat 😫
What kind of white chocolate drops can you feed gliders?
Just regular ones from the store 🥰
I know everyone of them is different paced but roughy how long did stay on me training take?
For babies not long at all but for adults who are used to tent time it too months I would say.
What do you put in your catch trays at the bottom?
Currently I don’t put anything with my Double critter nations. But I used to use Kiln dried pine pellets
@@sugargliderdiaries Okay! Thank you!
Is it good if I leave my hand in their cage so that they can walk on it and get used to me
Yes as long as they are not lunging or crabbing when you do so.
I have two sugar glider, one female & one male , i have them like 4 week , I always play with them but they still afraid of me, what should I do? And the female always bite me if she scared. Now I afraid of them to... 😞
Please watch my step by step bonding guide
How often do you take them out n what time
It really depends on the day. A few times a week I have them on me all day and then at night I offer them time with me while I walk around the house but most of our bonding and handling time is during the day.
I can’t believe I missed it! No!
:)
Where did you get your bra pouch?
Help, me and my wife have a white face sugie around 9 months old. We got her when she was 2 months old, we tried taming her for a month but nothing works, so I watched your video and used the methods for months now. But she is still quite hostile to us, she will come to us for food but once she's fed, she won't let us touch her, she will always bite when we try to pet or clean her. Just recently she bit my wife's finger really hard and was bleeding.
She's probably still scared, especially being the only glider. I would consider getting her a friend! But in the meantime, I wouldn't actively try to pick her up or pet her. Fingers look like claws and they're prey animals so she is most likely just instinctively reacting. Start back at square one with scent transferring. Its always good to do the fundamentals!~ I like putting their clean laundry in my dirty laundry so my scent transfers to their larger items. The glove in this video is a great tool to use as well! And for nail trimming I'd also recommend a mesh pouch so you don't have to actively grab onto your little darling. It's everything on their terms so nothing can be rushed! Just keep it up! Things will turn around eventually :)
@@streetmermaid thanks for the advice! How do you use the mesh pouch to trim tho?
@@DemonX217 I just add their favorite treats to the mesh pouch and show them and they crawl in (one at a time of course!) my girls enjoy edamame and the occasional tiny tomato along with some headless giant meal worms instead of the normal ones since they take longer to eat. I use reading glasses to magnify their little claws that stick through the pouch and use an angled toenail clipper to trim. It takes some practice still but I find it a lot easier than grabbing their feet. I let them out as soon as their finished the treats so they don't get stressed out or feel trapped.
Another good nail trimming tip I picked up is just to do a couple of nails at a time each day. Like when they're in the bonding pouch and do a little sleepy stretch and a foot pokes out that's a good time to get a couple of nails as well!~ I think it's really important to keep the nail trimming sessions short and sweet to reduce stress not only for me but for them also! Hope that helps :)
Quick question can you house multiple males and females together
Already answer this question for ya on a separate thread 😚
When she's on your head it looks like the mouse from ratatouille
How long did it take you to train your sugar gliders??
Each glider was different but a few months approx
Do you recommend doing this with each individual glider by themselves? I have 3 so I was thinking taken each out separately to try this.
Yes absolutely one on one at least at first 😊
Help me. My sugar gliders wont even let me lift them, let alone staying on my body. What should I do?
Give it time. Watch my step by step bonding guide and go at a pace that is comfortable to both you and your gliders
How can I add a picture of my suggies tail pulling.
Unfortunately TH-cam does not have that option
First here
Wait... White chocolate chips? I was told they couldn't have chocolate of any kind because it would kill them. No hate
White chocolate usually contains no cocoa solids which are in other types of chocolates that make them harmful for dogs and sugar gliders. So white chocolate chips are ok. But keep in mind that moderation is key!
Yes white chocolate does not have any coco
Does anyone else in the US get the UK price when they click on the link?
Shannon L oh no! Let me look into that!
fixed it :)
Thank you 😊,
I have a glider are u allowed to give them a bath
No you don’t want to bathe gliders
Ok thank u so much can they have oranges
Third
Can you toilet train them
* did any*
Do they smell bad?
I have a few videos that go in depth with this question 😉
This is Shannon L, just changed my profile 😉
Oh fun! Are you thinking of posting sugar glider videos? I love the new name.
@@sugargliderdiaries thanks 😁
no plans to start my own videos,I will leave that to the more technical savvy 😉
If i put my hand inside my glider’s cage it will bite me every time
Yes that is normal. Watch how I handle my gliders and possibly invest in a bonding mitt from glider king designs on Etsy
Can I just raise one glider .
Well you can but it’s not healthy for the one glider and is not responsible in my opinion
@@sugargliderdiaries I'm going to get a pair tomorrow not neutered and two weeks old. I was wondering but thanks
Kind of misinformation about having other animals I have a cat and small dog and have been training them with my two gliders for 3 years and they all get along well even without my supervision
It’s not misinformation, there is never a guarantee with other animals. People can choose to do whatever they want of course but it would be irresponsible of me to recommend trying it when many accidents have happened to too many gliders.
