I am sorry but, I haven't had any young gliders yet. All 4 of mine were adults when I got them. I would think "plump" would be a sign of good health. but, have you taken them to a vet yet for an overall check up? They can test the stool sample for parasites. If you think they are getting more blown up, are they pooping? Do they go on their own? You may have to stimulate them to go if not by wiping a tissue or q-tip across the opening. If you are really concerned you should take them to a vet. I have taken each of my gliders to the vet, and the prairie dogs go tomorrow, just to make sure they are ok.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help....

: Im sorry but I am really getting scared. I posted a message a few posts back. I was wondering if babys, 4-5 weeks old are suposed to be alittle plump. I got her 2 days ago and she was alittle plump. If not could this be worms or parisites?
