Well, I know that most gliders are messy, picky eaters. I wouldn't be too concerned about her... she does wipe her face after she eats, right? Or is she a Ms. Piggy? If she is having difficulties grooming herself you may need to look into that further... maybe with the help of a local vet.

As far as her barking... mine do it all the time. I see it as being the glider way of communicating or calling to you for play time. If it ever really disturbs you during the night, having a soft, glowing light helps (a muted night light works wonders) to reduce the barking. Although, you'll get used to it! And if she really haves you wrapped around her little claw... you'll go to her at every bark and either play or offer her a treat!

As far as the crabbing during sleepy time, it could be just a bad dream. I mean, we, as human beings, often talk in our sleep... why couldn't a glider?

With your little girl peeing and pooing on you... get used to it. Think of it nicely... it's her way of telling you that she's comfortable with you. And other times, that she's scared. Gliders pee all over their person, a way of marking... loving.

It sounds like you are doing a great job with your little guy. Keep it up!
