welcome! hi! is the cage size larger than 2ftx2ftx 3ft? do you have toys in there? is there enough gliding room? have you tried to feed her small treats through the bars of the cage (small amounts of baby food on your fingertips) ? do you talk to him or ignore him when he is in there? it took Java a while to get used to his new cage. your glider my be very sad and lonely right now, having everything she has ever known taken away from her. spend as much time as you can bonding with her and reassuring her that you
love her and want to be her human.or your glider may veiw the cage as punishment if you put her in there and ignore her. i am not accusing, btw, just trying to trouble shoot. she may be bored. you are her only source of socialization and stimulation right now, so she needs you...... :) hang in there. she will come around. you just have to be gentle and persistent. good luck! glider love!
