What exactly is she eating? If she is really hot and dehdrated she would want to eat plenty of juciy foods such as friut. So that could be one reason. Did you watch to make sure she got plenty of food last night? Sometimes gliders get so excited playign that they will forget to eat for many hrs. If she played too much and didnt eat she may still be hungry yet too tired to eat as much as she needs..so she keeps waking up to snack. The fact that she has been eating so much all day makes me think thats not the case. Do you use tap water? My glider got girardia from using tap water. One way a parasite can work is by eating the glider alive...if she ahs a parasite it could be eating everything...she would always be hungry because of this. Some parasites can live dormant in the system so she could have had it for soem time and its just now waking up. Either way you need to see a vet. Have you taken to the vet since she arived there? Any drastic change such as this should be seen by a vet. The vet can easily take fecal samples to check for parasites. The vet can also check for dehydration. I would take her to the vet asap.
