: : ever since I have had Maddie she has had some what runny poops. What should it be like (rat poop maybe)? Maddie also makes a noise everytime she goes to the bathroom whether it is pee or poop. It is kind of a raspy faint noise. Right now she eats chicken and apple baby food and fresh veggies every night. Could the food be causing the runny poop? She also gets fresh fruit juice once a week. I have not given her any treats yet.

: : Another question...do gliders teethe? Maddie has been chewing on my ring and on my fingers lately. She does not bite down hard but she does nibble. She will lay on her back and let me pet her tummy (which I have not seen a poutch yet)and then hold my finger and lick and nibble it. Could this be because I have fed her the babyfood off of my fingers?

: : Any info you can give me on poop, the raspy noise and the nibble would be helpful.
: : Thank you

: My girl, Yada, makes little raspy noises too when she goes to the bathroom (especialy when she pee's). When she wakes up at night, she will wait for me to come put my hand in her pouch. She will then lay on her back and gently nibble on my fingers. How old is Maddie? Yada is about 7 months old. I thought maybe this was her way of cuddling.

: Concerning the runny poop, I would either call or take Maddie into the vet just to make sure nothing is wrong. Hope this helps!
