okay I have had my 2 female gliders for about 7 months. Shasta is the oldest and more dominate of the two. Sadie is the younger, smaller and more passive one. The problem is that about two weeks ago at night they have been fighting a lot. This is not just any fighting. Shasta beets up Sadie. Last night I saw Sahsta attack Sadie for no reason. I have had to wake up at 5:00am to put their cage in another room with the light on so they would stop. This usally helps. At first I thought that they were fighting over food and sometimes they do, but lately Sadie get beet up for no reason. Sadie will be playing in the cage and Shasta will attack her for no reason. Last night they started to fight over food, so I tried to feed them seperately but Sadie would not eat. She jumped on me to get out of the cage away from Shasta. But then when it is time for them to go to sleep, they crawl up together and go to sleep. Except the other night, Sadie sleept under a piece of wood by herself. Shasta barked all night for her but she was still mad and wouldn't come out. What is the problem?? I am scared to leave Sadie with Shasta. But this just started to happen last week. Can anyone help? Thanks, Layla
