I know this may sound like a silly question, but I was wondering if anyone has a senior glider (10+ years)? Are there any aparent changes in behavior (slowing, senility, etc...)? What are the health dangers to look out for in aging gliders (tumors, higher risk of calcium deficiency, etc...)?

I've seen a lot of excellent info out there, including on this web site, but I've yet to see much that touches this subject. My trio is only 4-5 years old, but I plan to see them through to the end and would like to know what to expect.

Thanks!!! smile
