Subject: Heartbroken!!-Glider hidden and won't come out.
Posted by tanya on April 24, 1998 at 23:01:41:

I bought a 1month old baby girl 3 days ago to be a companion to my big boy (1yr3mos). Last night, my big boy was running around the apartment as usual and he disappeared! He has never not come out of hiding to eat at night. He did not come out and I finally went to bed, leaving his cage open and food in it. This morning I noticed that the food had not been touched. It is now 11pm and this will be a full 24 hrs that he has been gone.

Has anyone heard of gliders being jealous. Would he have tried to escape or maybe be hiding because there is a new baby in the house? I have torn the apartment apart and I cannot find him. I did not leave last night, so I know that he did not get out of the apartment, unless there is a hole that I don't know about. I even pulled all of the appliances out (stove, frig, etc.) and I removed the back panel of the frig to make sure that he had not gotten caught in the fan motor.

I don't know what to do exept wait. I am expecting the worst.
