: : Hissing like described earlier is a sign of constipation.
: : It's painful for them.
: : One of mine hissed when waking up and when going to the bathroom.
: : I researched more about their diet and the only thing I found that it might be was the yogurt I was giving them.
: : So, we cut it out and never feed milk products whatsoever any more.
: : Apparently some are more intolerant than others because only one of mine was verbal about it.
: : They are supposed to have big soft ones, not hard little bitty ones so that's how you may be able to tell.
: : Also, it seems like increasing bugs in the diet helps too.

: I still think my baby glider was hissing at my older one to communicate, but this info you posted
: is quite interesting and good to know in the future if it ever happens again-Thanks!

My sweet baby girl, Twinkie, who is about 6 months old now, has never "crabbed" at me. She adores me and goes everywhere with me. However, she will "hiss" at me sometimes when she thinks I am disturbing her. So in my opinion for some S.G., hissing has to do with being slightly disgruntled, but not mad enough to "crab."
