: : I have had my adult male now for a year and a half I have sucessfully bred him and he is happy healthy glider.

: : now hes stopped eating as much as he would and hes having a difficult time getting around.

: : Im assuming he has calcium diffcientcy. But my feamle glider would have got it before him since she is having babies ( which are healthly also)

: : I put in a aquarium for he doesnt break his bones in case he does have calcium diffciency. But I doubt this the case. Any information on what this could be and what to do to treat it would be greatly appreciated.

His first nite in the aqurium must have been too much for him. Becuase this morning I was awankened by my mother and shes starting sayin one of my gliders was out (she says it to make get out of bed for school) so I was like whatever mom. Then I looked over by my glider cage. Then theres my so called sick glider climbing on the outside of my glider cage trying to find a way in so he can back and join the other two. I never thaught he would any kind of strenght to climb out of that tall ass aquarium then manage to the other when. I thaught for sure he would be dead by morning.

I guess not Maybe he just got hold of bad piece of fruit somthin I dont know. But hes jumpin around and having alot of energy and eating the hes supposed to now. I now hope he get sick again Thank you for your advice anywayz but i'll remember the advice just in case. But im pretty confident in his health now.

Peace,
