Message: In Reply to: My glider does not eat, help me so that it will not die. Please write back, the more help the better. posted by M.T. on August 03, 1998 at 16:38:28: : I have tried everything I have read on the web pages : all the fruit and veg. The only thing she like is the fruit yougurt (baby food) crickets everything else is always left in the container. I tried that mixture people wrote about woth eggs and honey and cerial, she will not touch it. She dosen't like homney. What vitamin sup. can I get her from a pet store? : What can I do for her to go in my pocket? She dosen't want to sleep anywhere else exept her box. I have only had her for 10 days. Hi, M.T. ... I have only had my gliders for a few months but I do have a few q's and a's to offer. First, has she been like this a long time? Where did you get her? Have you asked them what they fed? Sometimes, they get used to a certain diet and you have to wean them from it. Has the weather changed much since you got her. If it has gotten hotter, try juicey fruits like oranges and grapefriuts. Also give her lots of fresh water and pedialite if it is hot. I mix the pedialite (plain) with a little 100% juice like apple, just enough to color it a bit. Does she show any interest at all in friut? I'd hate to see her limited to just yogurt and baby food and crickets. Besides, crickets might be best as a treat. As to the pocket thing, try carrying her around in a pouch made of polar fleese with a string on it that you can wear around your neck like a long necklace. If she doesn't want to at first, try hanging it in her cage and see if she likes to sleep in it. If she does then you can take it out with her in it during the day. Just remember that she's there :>} After a bit, when she's used to that and your smell, try transferring her to your pocket during the day when she's drowsy. Just a bit of my experiance. Glider love and nibbles, Diana
