If it is runny it is mostly likely diet..but it could be a parasite. Your diet does not sound like a proven healthy glider diet. I suggest you start using leadbeaters as a stable diet. I use bourbon's modified version. http://www.angelfire.com/nb/sugarglider/leadbeat.aspl I have no clue about that bathroom noise..that sounds odd. With the teething. If your glider is weaned then she is done teething. By yoiu giving her licky treats she should likc, not bite your fingers. You can pout some manzeti(i never spell it right) branches in her cage, do give her soemthing hard to chew on. This helped me some. Also the biting ids generaly caused by a new smell, or a smell they do noit like. She may not like the soap you use. Before playtime wash your hands really good with JUST water, see if this helps....she may dislike the soap smell. My glider always chews on things if we go soemwhere new. He doesnt like all the new smells, so he bites things that dont smell like gliders. AShe may be biting things that do not smell right to her. Keep giving her the licky treats. My glider bit me the firt few days. So I tried wadshing real good with watetr, and he didnt bite me at all. I did lots of licky treats, and now he loves to lick my fingers. He licks me all the time. She has no pouch? Are you shure she is female? Watch her when she goes to the bathroom, do you see a small thin red thing stick out? If so your glider would be male. I have heard oif many breeders seeling gliders as girls, when they are really boys. Possibly because the breeder does not spemnd enough time handling..Im not sure exactly why. Hope this helps.
