: I really don't think that the loose stool is from her diet. In fact, I truly believe it is from her being stressed. Keep a close eye on her, because they get dehydrated very easy. I had the same thing happen, and she died. I even had an autopsy done on her, and the vet concluded that is was stress. For your sake, I hope it doesn't happen, because it was very taumatic for us. Does she crab at Yoda? or does she seem to like him? Maybe I would separate them for a while until she seems to be alittle less stressed. I wish you the best of luck. Keep me informed. Martha

Thanks for the response. I have been keeping an eye on her, hoping it's not
stress, or at least all stress. I put Yoda and Tiger in the same cage yesterday
and it was fine while they were sleeping, except when Yoda tried crawling in bed with her.
When they woke up, Yoda chased Tiger around the cage and jumped on her! I think he was
trying to play, but she wasn't happy about it, so I separated them again. Once she
was in her own cage, she would go and smell Yoda (their cages are next to eachother), but
then she'd get nervous and jump away. She's not real coordinated yet, so I was real worried about
her hurting herself jumping around and stuff. Yoda was marking everything that had her
scent. I'm thinking that he was a couple months older than I thought when I got him.
The pet store I got him from didn't tell me one way or the other.
Tiger is drinking plenty of water and eating well, I've kept an eye on that. I fed her
some leadbeaters and fruit last night and she ate it, but not the mealworm. odd. She also
won't eat sunflower seeds, honey or anything else gliders love but aren't supposed to eat a lot of:)
So, food is not working as bonding right now. I swear raising gliders is a great intro into parenthood!
