: I wouldn't be suprised if it is the avocado. Most animals don't handle any diet change well. It upsets their intestinal tract and causes diarrhea. Maintain a higher level of fiber in their diet. Try just feeding Briskey's and some worms & veggies/fruits. Don't give any yogurt or try any new foods until the diarrhea has cleared up. Remember that gliders can become dehydrated very quickly. Keep some pedialyte mixed with apple juice or lori-necter in a shallow dish to keep them hydrated. Any small amount of stress can also causes some intestinal distress. And congrats, sounds like you have a preggie female. Be careful when feeling the baby so that you don't accidently knock it off the nipple.
