Brienna, Relax. I keep hearing crabbing too. But can you imagine having a brand new human baby that won't stop whining although they are fed, rested, & changed? You have done everything you can and then you let them cry themselves out. Same with gliders, she's not going to let them control her everymove. If they are ok she's going to let them know "I'm going to give you something to cry about!!" and if they aren't OK she'll know and will take care of it. On the flip side, just like humans who have been in a nice comfy spot just for them with no problems, they've been thrust into a big scary world and they're speaking their thoughts on the whole situation. So just relax and let their instincts take over. Good Luck. Ashjan.
