My first female gradually over the past two month has gotten increasingly agressive. It started when I got two new glider a second female and a male. THe two females did not get along well at first then I moved the male to a seperate cage and they seem get along better. However Pebbles has gotten aggresive period. I anyone touches the cage while she is in her crown royal bag sleeps in she starts crabbing. And for the second night in a row now when I catch her to put her bag in the cage she has bitten into me drawing blood and I had to litterally strangle her into submission in order to extract her lower teeth out of my finger. My fingers are full of bite marks. Could there be something else wrong with her to make her act this way. I moved the other female back in with the male. Those two are super sweet and are extremely people friendly.

Sounds Like she could be jealous of the new gliders. I would spend some extra special time with her and you will probably need to rebuild trust with her again by starting all over trying to bond. Licky treat would be good.
