frown My sugar glider is acting strange she is 7 and a half months OOP and she usually get up every night and then runs every where and hates getting back in the cage when I go to bed and for the past 2 days she never wants to get out of her pouch. I take her out and she just gets in a place in my room and stays there and when I open the cage or put her near it all she wants to do is go back in the cage and back to sleep. Please help I miss playing all around the room with her and now she just sits there. Thank You

any drastic change like this really should warrent a vet visit..animals that are usually active and become very lethargic are sick a lot of times..i would check it out with a vet..and I would do it soon, cause gliders when they get sick can get worse very quickly frown

Have there been any other change - eating habits, pooping/peeing, unusual crabbing - anything at all you have noticed? This might help us have a better idea of what might be going on.

no nothing has changed really. I just moved the computer into the room and blocked off all electrical hazards.

Well, I think I would at the very least give the vet a call in the morning and ask what he/she thinks. It would be worth a trip for a check-up.
I agree with dagny ... I wouldn't wait until she really shows signs of being sick ... many times it is too late by then.
Don't mean to scare you to death, but you need to know this.
