: hi everyone,
: my 1yr old glider is going crazy. about 2 months ago a got another glider so my 1yr old would have a friend. It seemed like they were getting along so, after a month I started putting them in the same cage. Now my older glider won't eat that good, shes jumpy, and circles her cage. what can I do? Is it because the new glider?

It could be but I doubt it. If they seem to be getting along I would leave them together and try to figure out another source of the stress. As for diet, sometimes my gliders will go a night or two without eating. Their taste change quite frequently and a food that was a favorite suddenly they will not touch and they will eat something that they wouldn't touch before. Try varying the diet and see if that helps.
