What are you feeding her now? She should be eating what her parents did, when you brought her home.
It is important that you give her a well balanced diet of 75% fruits, 25% vegs and 25% protiens (min). I have talked with a lot of people and feel that the protien levels should be increased to 33-50% of their diet. It has been about 2 months since I increased their protien levels and I have found that the gliders are much more healthy in overall look. Their coats are much shinier and softer. My females are both breeding and they get as much as they want when it comes to mealworms.

Hope this helps....

: She is falling asleep in my pocket, it takes her about 10 seconds to fall asleep, but she will wake up every now and then. :) She is so cute. Is there anything special she should be eating since she is kind of young?

: Thanks
