I came accross this story while I was searching for glider info on the web and just thought I would share it with you. It is so sad it brought tears to my eye :( southernexotics.home.mindspring.com/

: the only circumstance i have heard of where a glider loses use of its back legs is Hind Leg Paralysis (HLP) is this what the vet said your glider had???? If so there is known causes of HLP--it is diet related, due to lack of calcuim in the diet. If it wasn't HLP can you tell us what term/diagnosis the vet gave please. thank you.
