And now the rest of the story... I was hyserical about almost loosing griz. He was sluggish and his ears were droopy. He would only drink from my finger dipped in pedialite and juice. I got about a teaspoon in him and he still looked bad. Lily was hyper but ok, I think she was wooried about Griz. I got them out of their nesting box and pouch and put them of our bed infront of the fan. I got some ice in bowl and put that infront of the fan to blow cool air over them gently. When I first checked on them after arriving home, I found Griz on his back with his feet in the air, he was not moving and I was sure that I'd lost him! Yesterday, the temp. was just as high so I brought them to work with me. The store where I work was Great they let me put them in an unused conference room that is air conditioned. They were undisterbed except when I checked on them, which I did every hour. Please, who ever reads this, Gliders are sensitive to heat and cold. Temp. of 85 and up are dangerous to them. Temps. of 65 and lower are also bad. I live in OR and the temps. can change like crazy. This winter when it can get very cold I'm going to use a herp. rock in the cage, unless anyone has had bad luck with them. Good luck to all. Glider love and nibbles, Diana
