First of all, we need some additional information.
How old is the glider?
How long have you had him/her?
What diet are you feeding?
Any other changes in behavior lately?
Any changes in pooping/peeing?

Also anything else you can think of will help us help you

If she is sliding like you say she is, get her to a vet to have her checked out. I am wondering if she isn't just plain lonely? My female was doing that, not eating as much and not energetic, but as soon as I bought Little One (my other female), her whole attitude changed. Ate more and full of life. But I am not saying that is the cause of her problem. Just a suggestion. I definitely would take her to the vet before she dehydrates!! Good luck!

Take her to a vet!!! That is the best advice that can be given if she wont eat and is acting strange. Only a vet can tell you what is wrong! Please take her to a vet as soon as possible and if she gets worse you may need to take her to an emergency vet!

You didnt' tell WHAT her diet is.. if shes not been eating properly for the past year, she maybe have a vitamin deficiency causing her to be dragging around and not being active..

Congrats! How old approximately? I'm noticing Winky has really slowed down lately as her joeys have gotten bigger. She is eating, but I know how worried you can get about them getting enough protein and calcium for two / three. I fuss over her when I can with some BML on my finger. It makes me feel better anyway.
