Jess, you need to get her to a vet asap. Gliders show sickness when they are really sick. Is she showing any other signs like are her paws clenched? Is she having trouble moving around. I know you have had trouble with her diet and little brother feeding her bad things, but when was the last time she got any calcium? If She is getting calcium, how about protiens. I just know that when Romeo was sick the only thing he would eat were protiens. Get some straight meat baby foods and give it to her in a dropper if you need to for the next few day. Also I suggest you give debbie dillion a call. She is very experienced with sick gliders. She will not replace the vet, but between all of you, you should be able to come up with a solution. Debbie also has an IM number maybe you can reach her there.

I will email you her phone number. Please contact that vet and call Debbie.

: okay guys, it did take courage to post this but I have a large problem. see, I found Roo and a part of her tail was bloody, why? I do not know. she was sleeping in her food dish which had leftover fruit in it that she did not eat from the nite before. well, roo is barely moving, she is cold, and if you touches her she crabs, latches onto a finger and bites down HARD, for like 10 seconds straight. She is not eating any fruit or yogurt or water. She has a large galvanized wire cage...and I dont know the symptoms of that wire disease or whatever...but please help. right now she is wrapped up in a fleece cloth laying flat out not curled up...
