Kristi,
Thanks for all the advice. Well, let's see... I have one of those finch nest boxes hanging in the cage for her to sleep in, and when she went back to sleep at 2, that's where she went. But when I got her this morning, she was at the bottom of the cage. I WILL put a pouch in the bottom for her-- but I had one in before and she didn't go in it then either. Right now all I have for a bonding pouch during the day is a little pouch I made myself-- it doesn't fasten closed and doesn't have straps, so it's not the best thing, but I'm just about to order some things for her online, a good bonding pouch included. Anyway, she will sleep in the pouch, and she'll crawl down inside my shirt and sleep... but it seems like she almost PREFERS to be out on me. She likes to curl up in a ball in my hand, or like right now she's sitting on my shoulder snoozing. Is this normal behavior? I've done SO much research on gliders before I got her... but now I'm such a nervous new mom it's like I'm so worried about her that I can't remember anything!! *hahaha* Anyway, any and all help is greatly appreciated. And I'll keep trying to get her to eat throughout the day. She just seems completely uninterested. I tried to give her some yogurt (fat free and everything, of course) but she wouldn't eat it. Last night she took a little bite of nectarine when I held it to her, but I don't think she ate any more. I'll go get her some meal worms and crickets in an hour or so and see how she does with those. Thanks!!
