Ok, i have 2 female sugar gliders and one loves to be out and about but the other one hides a bites the heck out of my finger. They both have extremely sharp nail that hurt like crazy! Any tips or suggestions?
Treats ! Give the glider that bites treats to associate you with a good thing (food). How old are they? Patience is necessary. Try to play with the biter in the morning after it's been out and about from the night.
You should try to trim their nails with a nail clipper during the day while they sleep in their pouch. There are videos on YouTube of how people trim their gliders. Only cut the tips. If you cut too far down it can be painful.
As I responded to your last question:
The best I can say: At this point, you are pretty much starting from scratch. Take your time, don't be nervous and talk calmly to them, letting them know you love them. I find that treats really help get the mood going for playtime.

pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com You must remember that you are again, new to them. You are starting from the beginning and you need to gain their trust. Number two is going to need a bit more working with by the sounds of it. I encourage licky treats as a bite deterrent. Three licks and reload. I use yogurt as a licky treat.
For nails, you can get a nail trimmer for their wheel, clip their nails or take them to a vet to have them done. It usually runs around $ 20.00 for a clipping.
