well it sounds like your babies are bonded to you if they are snuggling and purring. you might want to glider proof a bathroom as a next step since it's bigger than a tent but smaller than a whole room. my babies are still bonding with me and it varies from day to day, but they always jump on me and then leap on the next thing. to put them away i do a couple things. if they jump on me in a place where i can just guide them to the door of the cage, i do that and then give them a worm. or they have a toy they love to climb in. when they do, i put the whole toy in the cage. and there have been a few times i've had to scoop them up and put them away. i try not to chase them and be patient. as reinforcement for jumping to me, they get a mealie whenever they come to me. they don't know their names yet i don't think, but they know they get a treat when they are on me. i think it's working. you should be ok if it's glider proofed but i'm no expert. have treats handy and try not to chase them. also, don't be surprised if they don't want to play for awhile. mine were nervous when we moved out of the tent. or, they will go nuts exploring. either is normal and as long as they are safe, i wouldn't worry too much. wish mine purred with me! good job.

[:"green"] Hello !!!! My pal Ranger is out with me very often. I am always cautious regarding distractions. Now, when I do not feel him on some part of my body, I say "Where's Ranger ??? I don't see him..." and he'll pop back up on my shoulder. If there is a loud noise or a doorbell, etc. he may bolt. I have been successful in that he will return to me but worry until he does. I never take my eyes off him. From my experience, you must always try to anticipate .... For example...He will bolt if I pick up the digital cam. They are so small & lightening fast so you always have to be careful. I do not have a Glider Proof room. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> [/]

If you are fairly certain the room is glider proof, then its just a matter of giving it a try <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumb.gif" alt="" />. Be sure the couch cannot be gotten into, and any speakers...so on. They will be VERY curious and rambuctious first few times with so many new things to check out, but eventually if given the chance often enough, they will learn the room and it becomes easier. Alot of times having their pouch with you, in case you need to get them out of harms way, works...offer it, and most times they will climb right in. Try to offer your arm for them to come to also...they learn habits fast. You will be fine...albet a tad exhausted the first few times though <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.

What has helped with me, is I wear the same fleece jacket or blanket that the glider pairs have scented when we play. Most of the time they will play *on me cause of their scent everywhere...and they have free run of the room. It really works well...that might be a security blanket for them too.
